Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next to each step to keep track of each step completed. Steps
with a single box (
repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc. Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
) are performed once, while steps with two boxes ( ) indicate that the step will require
Before beginning the assembly of the Alpha RTF w/DSM, remove each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect
the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the
place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or sealing iron to remove them. Use caution while working around
areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors.

Section 1: Landing Gear Installation
Required Parts
• Fuselage • Landing gear strap (2)
• Main landing gear assembly (2)
• 3mm x 12mm sheet metal screw (4)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Phillips screwdriver: #2
o Step 1
Locate one of the landing gear assemblies. Insert the end
of the wire into the hole in the fuselage.
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the remaining landing
gear assembly.
Step 4
Locate one of the landing gear straps. The strap will be
used to secure the main gear to the fuselage. Holes have
been pre-drilled for the screws that secure the landing
gear strap in position.
o Step 2
Press the landing gear into the notch on the bottom of the
fuselage so it is flush with the bottom of the fuselage.
Note: Before installing the screws, apply
2–3 drops of thin CA into each of the holes
to harden the surrounding wood. This will
allow the screws to be more secure and will
help in preventing them from vibrating loose.
8
Step 5
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and two 3mm x 12mm
sheet metal screws to secure one of the straps to the
bottom of the fuselage.
Section 1: Landing Gear Installation
Step 6
Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to secure the remaining landing gear
strap to the bottom of the fuselage.
9
Section 2: Fin and Stabilizer Installation
Required Parts
• Fin/Rudder assembly • #4 washer (4)
• Stabilizer/Elevator assembly • Wing nut (2)
• 3mm x 10mm machine screw (2)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Threadlock • Scissors
• Phillips screwdriver: #2
Step 1
Locate the fin and stabilizer assemblies. The threaded rods
from the fin will fit into the holes that are pre-drilled in the
stabilizer as shown.
Step 3
Use scissors to cut the end of the tube of threadlock. Cut
only the corner so the application of the threadlock can be
controlled easier than if the whole end were cut off.
Step 4
Apply a drop of threadlock onto each of the threaded rods.
Step 2
Slide the two #4 washers onto the threaded rods from the
bottom of the stabilizer.
10
Section 2: Fin and Stabilizer Installation
Step 5
Thread the two wing nuts onto the threaded rods to secure
the fin to the stabilizer. Don't over-tighten the wing nut and
damage the underlying wood.
Step 6
Slide the fin into position. Make sure the control rod
for the rudder is on the top side of the stabilizer when
installing the tail assembly.
o Step 7
Locate a #4 washer and 3mm x 10mm machine screw.
Slide the washer onto the screw, then apply a small
amount of threadlock on the screw.
o Step 8
Insert the screw into the hole in the fuselage and
through the stabilizer to the pre-installed blind nut on
the top of the stabilizer. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver
to tighten the screw.
11
Attach clevis
to center hole
Section 2: Fin and Stabilizer Installation
Step 9
Repeat Steps 7 and 8 to install the second screw.
Step 10
Connect the clevis to the center hole of the elevator
control horn. The alignment of the elevator will be
covered later in this manual.
Step 11
Connect the clevis to the center hole of the rudder
control horn. The alignment of the rudder will be
covered later in this manual.
12
Section 3: Propeller and Spinner Installation
Required Parts
• Fuselage assembly • Spinner assembly
• Propeller
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Adjustable wrench • Hex wrench: 2.5mm
Step 1
Remove the plastic shipping saver, nut and washer from
the engine crankshaft.
Step 3
Slide the propeller onto the engine crankshaft. The
blades of the propeller will be positioned against the
bosses for the spinner screws of the spinner backplate
as shown below.
Step 4
Step 2
Check that the flywheel is fully installed on the engine. It
will fit closely to the engine when it is positioned correctly.
Slide the spinner backplate onto the engine crankshaft so
it is tight against the flywheel.
Slide the propeller washer onto the engine crankshaft.
13
Section 3: Propeller and Spinner Installation
Step 5
Thread the propeller nut onto the engine crankshaft.
Step 6
Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the propeller nut,
securing the propeller and spinner backplate onto the
engine crankshaft.
Step 7
Slide the spinner cone over the propeller. It will fit into the
grooves in the spinner backplate when installed.
Step 8
Use the three 3mm x 10mm sheet metal screws supplied
with the spinner to secure the spinner cone to the spinner
backplate. A #1 Phillips screwdriver will be required to
tighten the screws.
Important: When tightening the propeller
nut, always use an adjustable wrench, box
end wrench or 3/8-inch drive socket. Using
pliers will not allow you to place enough
grip to properly tighten the propeller nut.
Note: Make sure the propeller has not
moved from its position as described back
in Step 3. If it has, the spinner cone will not
be able to be installed in the following steps.
14
Section 4: Wing Dowel Installation
Required Parts
• Fuselage assembly • Wing dowel (2)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Thin CA
Step 1
Slide the wing dowel into the pre-drilled holes in the front
of the fuselage. Center the dowel so it extends equally
from both sides of the fuselage.
Step 3
Use the following photo to confirm the location of the
wing dowel installation in the fuselage.
Step 4
Apply thin CA into the joint between the dowel and
fuselage to keep it from moving.
Step 2
Slide the second wing dowel into the pre-drilled holes in
the rear of the fuselage. Center the dowel so it extends
equally from both sides of the fuselage.
