Foreword
Many thanks for your decision to purchase the HoTTrigger, which is an aerobatic model of conventional all-wood construction. The HoTTrigger is a great aeroplane for modellers who already
have experience with powered models and wish to expand their skills, but it is also ideal for
more advanced pilots. The model is easily capable of standard and 3D aerobatics, and offers an
excellent performance. This means that you have acquired an aircraft which is ideal for practi-
sing aerobatic manoeuvres as well as simple fun ying, and all with ease of handling and little
effort. The model is very easy to rig: all you have to do is attach the wings to the fuselage using
two screws. The generous canopy opening ensures easy handling, and makes the model very
practical for everyday ying. The HoTTrigger can be completed with an electric power system
or a glow motor, and is prepared as standard for both versions. All you have to do is decide on
your preferred type of power, and acquire the appropriate accessories.
Attention!
It is essential to read right through the instructions before assembling and ying the model.
!
Approved usage
The HoTTrigger 1500 is designed to be used as a model aircraft. It is not suitable for any other
purpose.
This aerobatic machine is part of the new range of GRAUPNER/SJ all-wood model aircraft. These models are of particularly high quality, and have been developed and tested for you in-house.
Installation of the airborne RC components is simple and quick thanks to the very large fuselage
opening. To prepare the model for the air all you have to do is install the RC components and
power system, and carry out a few minor gluing and assembly procedures.

Warnings and safety notes
Attention!
Never reach into a running propeller or attempt to hold the propeller by hand when it is operating. This leads to hand injuries. Rotational forces can readily cause the propeller to get out of
control.
Attention!
Never put objects/foreign materials into a running propeller. Always ensure that objects/foreign
materials can-not get into the propeller when it is running. If this does happen, the propeller‘s
sudden imbalance can cause heavy damage to the model. Persons in the vicinity can be severely injured by parts hurled through the air.
Attention!
Never dwell in front or back of a propeller. Improper assembly or unforeseen circumstances
can cause the propeller to come off of its shaft. Stop the propeller if unusual noises are heard.
Warning!
The propeller must be securely attached. Do not direct the propeller toward persons or animals, do not test the propeller in the hand. Never dwell in front of a propeller. Unforeseen
circumstances can cause the propeller to come off of its shaft. Persons in the vicinity can be
severely injured by parts hurled through the air.
Warning!
Do not touch any part of the drive train (i.e. motor + propeller + shaft) while it is operating as
this can lead to injuries. Allow the motor, shaft, regulator and battery time to cool off after operation before touching any of these parts!
Warning!
Operating the model while under the inuence of medication, alcohol, drugs, etc. is forbidden.
Attention!
Any deviation from the model‘s instructions can have an effect on the model‘s functionality
and operational safety. This must be avoided under all circumstances.

INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
Assembling the model
Attention!
It is important to observe the sequence of procedures described in these building instructions.
Attention!
Before you start assembling the model we recommend that you run a lm iron over the covering lm to ensure that it is taut, as uctuations in temperature and humidity may have
caused creases, and the lm may have come loose from the wood in places. This is important,
because in some areas the lm has to be removed, and the remaining lm would then shrink
uncontrollably when ironed down again.
!
!
Use a hot soldering iron to melt away the covering lm over the holes for the wing joiner tube, incidence pegs,
retaining screws, control surface horns and servo leads. Use your ngertips to locate the openings under the lm.
Removing covering lm
Attention!
This stage should be carried out in a well ventilated room, to avoid directly breathing in fumes.
English
14
Attention!
Avoid damaging the raised ange of the servo output arm, otherwise the arm could fail in
ight, leaving the model uncontrollable.
!
2. Servo installation
Cut down the servo output lever as shown in the photo. Centre the servo from the transmitter using a new model
memory. Push the lever onto the output shaft.
3. Fitting the rubber grommets
Push the rubber grommets into the servo mounting lugs.
Servo installation - general
1. Information on installing servos
The same procedure is employed for preparing and tting all the servos. The following steps should be carried
out for each servo which is to be installed, using the parts supplied in the servo’s accessory pack. Variations from
the standard procedure - such as tting different servo output arms, and changing the position of the arms on the
servos - are explained in the relevant stages, and shown in the pictures of the installed servos.
4. Fitting the tubular brass
spacers
Push the brass spacers into the rubber grommets from
underneath.
English
15
INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
5. Extending the servo lead
If a servo extension lead is used, it must be secured using one of the clips supplied. First insert the servo lead
plug into the socket on the extension lead.
Attention!
Check that the clip engages fully,
otherwise the servo could become
disconnected in ight, leaving the
model uncontrollable.
!
Push the clip over the plastic plug / socket housings.
6. Parking the servo leads
The aileron servo leads can be ‘parked’ in slots in the wing root; this prevents the nuisance of the leads falling
inside the wing.
Attention!
The slots are only intended for use when the wings are in storage. Disengage the leads from
the slots before assembling the model, otherwise the wings will not t correctly against the
fuselage; using force could damage the slotted ribs.
!
The socket is tted in the slot in the fuselage side,
working from the inside, and glued in place using
thick cyano; it must nish ush with the outside of the
fuselage.
Attention!
Don’t allow glue to run inside the
socket, as this will soil the contacts,
and the connector will have to be
replaced.
!

Canopy
Slide the canopy latch towards the tail and hold it in that position while you raise the rear end of the canopy and lift
it off.
Gluing the point-hinges
Attention!
Ensure that the oil only contacts the pivot of the point-hinge (1), and that no oil gets onto the
part of the hinge which is to be glued, otherwise the hinge might not be securely xed in the
hole. In this case the control surface could come loose in ight and render the model uncontrollable.
Attention!
Take care to keep the oil off your ngers, as this could transfer it to the joint areas of the hinge. Wash your hands after handling the oil to prevent unwanted transfer.
!
!
2. Preparing the point-hinges
Apply a drop of 150 cps silicone damper oil or similar to the pivot of the point-hinge (1) to protect it from excess
glue. Lay a strip of paper towel (kitchen paper) under the point-hinge (1) to absorb any excess oil.
1. Information on gluing the point-hinges
All the point-hinges (1) should be prepared and installed in the same manner. Follow the procedure described for
each hinge at the appropriate juncture. Complete the task for one sub-assembly at a time, e.g. rst one wing and
aileron, then the next, and so on. Any deviations from the standard procedure (e.g. for the elevators) are
explained at the appropriate point in the instructions, or are shown in the pictures of the point-hinges (1) when they
are tted.
English
17
INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
3. Applying glue to the hinge holes
The point-hinges (1) are glued in place using UHU-Plus Endfest 300 (slow-setting epoxy). Apply a little glue to each
hole in the control surface. If glue gets onto the surface adjacent to the hole, it can be removed by wiping with a
piece of kitchen paper dipped in methylated spirit.
4. Inserting the point-hinges
Apply a little adhesive to the rst third of the point-hinge (1), and twist the hinge into the hole. If you have used
the correct quantity of glue, the adhesive will be distributed along the length of the hinge and glue it to the control
surface over the full length of the hole. Push the point-hinge (1) into the hole to the point where the pivot axis is
located about 1 mm outside the leading edge of the control surface.
Attention!
Take care that no glue gets into the
pivot and jams the point-hinge (1), as
this might prevent the hinge rotating
when the glue has cured; the control
surface would then no longer move in
either direction.
!
Attention!
Take care not to apply too much glue,
as this would cause the excess to be
forced out of the hole and into the
pivot area of the point-hinge (1).
!
Apply a little adhesive to the rst third of the point-hinge
(1) and the hole in the mating part of the xed panel, as
described in section 3. Applying glue to the hinge
holes.
English
18
Push the point-hinges (1) attached to the control surface into the holes in the xed panel or wing - depending on
the sub-assembly you are currently working on. Ensure that the colour scheme on the two panels
lines up correctly. Offer up the control surface, holding it at an angle at the pivot axis, and push the point-
hinges (1) one by one into the holes in the xed panel.
Attention!
This procedure is very important, and must be carried out with the greatest care, because there is a real risk of epoxy running into the pivot points and jamming the hinges. When the glue
has cured, the hinges will then be impossible to move, and the control surface will not deect.
Attention!
Dip a piece of kitchen paper into methylated spirit and use it to wipe away excess epoxy from
the surface of the components.
!
Now push the control surface towards the xed panel until the hinge pivots are just visible. Repeatedly move the
control surface to both extremes of travel to allow the point-hinges to settle themselves into the correct position.
Temporarily x the control surface to the xed panel
with paper masking tape to ensure that it cannot shift.
Allow the epoxy to set hard, then remove the tape and
move the control surface in both directions. You may
hear a slight cracking sound as any excess glue at the
hinge pivots fractures; this is not a problem, unless the
hinge is completely jammed with glue.

Installing the tailplane
1. Aligning the tailplane
Apply a strip of paper masking tape to the underside of the fuselage (2) to protect the underlying lm. Draw a
centreline on the tape, on which a setsquare can be placed in order to help you align the tailplane (3). First mark
the end of the tailplane (3) at which the setsquare will be positioned later.
Attention!
This procedure must be carried out with the greatest care, otherwise the tailplane may be installed at an angle. This will cause the model to veer off to one side when you apply an elevator
command, and it will be difcult to y in a straight line.
!
English
20
Attention!
Take care to set the tailplane (3) exactly ‘square’ in the fuselage before marking the surfaces,
otherwise you could easily remove too much lm and leave the wood exposed, where it would
be subject to weathering. This could lead to material fatigue and structural failure, leaving the
model uncontrollable.
!
2. Removing the lm from the joint surfaces
The covering lm over the joint surfaces of the tailplane (3) must rst be removed: slide the tailplane (3) through
the slots in the fuselage (2), and set it central; it must also be at 90° to the fuselage centreline. Draw a line on the
tailplane on both sides of the fuselage (2), top and bottom, to mark the area of lm to be removed.
English
21
INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
4. Gluing the tailplane in place
Slide the tailplane (3) into the slot in the fuselage (2), and set it exactly central. It must project by the same
dimension on both sides, and be at an angle of 90° to the fuselage centreline, so that the area from which the lm
has been removed is completely hidden inside the fuselage (2).
Attention!
Ensure that the tailplane (3) is the right way up in the slots in the fuselage (2), as shown in the
picture.
Note!
Use thin cyano, No. 5822, for this joint. Fitting a syringe needle allows you to apply the glue
directly to the wood and the joint lines to ensure a sound joint.
!
3. Removing the lm from the joint surfaces
Run the tip of a soldering iron along the marked lines, using a steel ruler as a guide, and remove the lm between
the two cuts.
Attention!
Just allow the tip of the soldering iron to glide over the lm. Don’t apply excessive pressure,
as this could damage the wood underneath; the tailplane could then snap off at the fuselage,
leaving the model uncontrollable.
Attention!
Carry out this procedure in a well ventilated room to avoid directly breathing in the fumes.

6. Gluing the elevator joiners
The elevator joiners (4) must be glued together before the elevators (5) are attached by their hinges. This is
important, as the joiners and hinges must be aligned while the glue is soft, to ensure that
the elevators work correctly. Use the same adhesive as specied for the hinges.
Attention!
Ensure that the larger faces of the elevator joiners (4) are glued together, as the angled edge of
the joiner forms an extension of the elevator leading edge.

Basic control surface travels:
Before setting up the control surface travels, assemble the model completely, as if you were about to y it. Move
the throttle stick on the transmitter to the Stop position, then switch the receiving system on. In the transmitter’s
Servo Settings menu set all control surfaces to the centre (neutral) position. Now use a set-square to measure the
control surface travels: move the transmitter stick to full travel for each control surface individually, and use the
transmitter’s servo adjustment menu to set the travels stated in the table below.

Using Planejama (aeroplane nightshirt)
The Planejama (aeroplane nightshirt) consists of protective bags with carefully sewn seams. The bags are made
of hard-wearing fabric, and protect your model from dents, scratches and other damage in transit. The Planejama
can also be used at the ying eld when the model is fully rigged. In this guise it protects the aircraft from the
effects of sunshine, and briey from rain while you move it under cover.
Slide the protective bags onto the wings and
tailplane of the assembled model.
Slip the protective bag over the n of the assembled
model, and x it to the tailplane bags.
Lay the fuselage bag over the fuselage and attach
it to the tailplane bags. Now wrap the bag under the
fuselage and then round the cowl at the nose.

All that remains is to wish you many hours of happy ying with your HoTTrigger
