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 () are performed once, while steps with two boxes () indicate that the step will require repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc. Remember to take your time and follow the directions.

Rudder and Fin Preparation
Required Parts
Rudder Fin Tail wheel bracket CA hinge (3)
Tools and Adhesives
T-pins Petroleum jelly
Hobby knife with #11 blade Thin CA
30-minute epoxy Mixing stick Mixing cup Medium grit sandpaper Rubbing alcohol Paper towel Drill bit: 1/16-inch (1.5mm Pin drill
Step 1
Use medium grit sandpaper to roughen the tail gear wire. This provides a better surface for the epoxy to adhere to.
6 Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual
Step 2
Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the tail gear wire. This will keep the epoxy from gluing the wire to the bracket.
Step 3
Test fit the rudder on the hinges. Make sure the tail gear fits into the pre-drilled hole in the rudder.
Step 4
When fitting the rudder, make sure there is a sufficient gap between the rudder and fin. Use a hobby knife to set the correct spacing.
Step 5
Mix a small amount of 30-minute epoxy. Apply the epoxy to both the tail gear wire where it enters the rudder and to the hole in the rudder.
Note: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove any excess epoxy before it cures. Excess epoxy could cause the rudder and fin to bind and increase the load on the rudder servo.
Step 6
The rudder and fin can now be joined together. While the epoxy cures, wick thin CA into each hinge. Apply the CA to both sides of the hinge. Allow the CA to cure WITHOUT using accelerator as this will not allow the CA to wick full into the hinge. Continue once the CA and epoxy have both cured.
7Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual
Step 7
Gently pull on the rudder and fin to make sure the hinges are secure. If any of the hinges break loose, reapply CA to the hinge.
Step 8
The last step is to break in the hinges. Move the rudder through its range of movement a few times until it moves freely.
Tail Installation
Required Parts
Fuselage Rudder/fin assembly Elevator/stabilizer assembly 3mm washer (2) 3mm locknut (2)
Tools and Adhesives
Nut driver: 5.5mm Thin CA
Important: Check and break in the elevator hinges before starting this section of the manual. Apply thin CA to any loose hinges.
Step 1
Position the stabilizer on the stabilizer saddle at the rear of the fuselage.
Step 2
Insert the threaded rods from the fin through the holes in the stabilizer and into the holes in the fuselage. You will need to deflect the rudder so the control horn can pass the elevator.
Step 3
When installed, the fin will fit tight against the stabilizer.
8 Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual
Step 4
Place two 3mm washers on the threaded rods.
Step 5
Thread two 3mm locknuts on the threaded rods. Use a
5.5mm nut driver to tighten the nuts.
Important: Do not over-tighten the nuts and damage the fuselage. The nuts only need to be tightened enough so the stabilizer and fin are secure and do not move on the fuselage.
Radio Installation
Required Parts
Fuselage Metal clevis (2) 2mm nut (2) Clevis retainer (2) Servo with hardware (2) Switch harness Receiver battery Receiver 1/4-inch (6mm) foam Y-harness Elevator linkage wire, 27.5-inch (698mm) Rudder linkage wire, 28.5-inch (724mm)
Tools and Adhesives
Phillips screwdriver: #1, #2
Side cutters Straight edge Thin CA Pin drill Drill bit: 5/64-inch (2mm)
Step 1
Slide the hatch on the fuselage forward to disengage the magnets at the rear of the hatch. Lift the hatch up at the rear and remove it from the fuselage.
Step 2
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a servo mounting
screw into each of the holes in the radio tray. This will cut the threads for the screws in preparation of the next step.
Step 3
Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the surrounding wood. This harder surface will make the screws less likely to vibrate loose.
9Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual
Step 4
After preparing the rudder and elevator servo with the appropriate hardware, secure them in the radio tray using the screws provided with the servos.
Step 5
Remove the covering from the side of the fuselage to mount your particular switch. There are a few different locations, so choose the correct one for your application.
Step 6
Wrap the receiver battery in foam and secure it in position using a hook and loop strap (not included).
Step 7
Plug the rudder and elevator servo leads in the correct ports of your receiver. Also plug the aileron Y-harness and lead from the switch harness at this time.
Step 8
Wrap the receiver in foam and secure it in position as shown.
Note: The remote receiver will be mounted later in the manual. Its location will be determined by your particular motor selection.
Step 9
Remove the clevises and nuts from the 27.5-inch (698mm) and 28.5-inch (724mm) linkage wires. Set the hardware aside so it doesn’t get lost.
10 Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual
Step 10
Remove the stock servo horns from the servos. Center the servos using the radio system. Use a 180-degree servo horn on the servos. You may need to rotate the horns 180-degrees to get them to align perpendicular to the servos.
Step 11
Use a pin drill and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to enlarge the holes that are 9/16-inch (15mm) from the center of the servo horn for the pushrod wires.
 Step 12
Remove the horns from the rudder servo and use side cutters to trim the arm from the horn that will not be used.
Note: Removing the excess arm will help in preventing interference between the arm and other components inside the fuselage.
 Step 13
Insert the Z-bend from the 28
1
/2-inch (724mm) pushod in
the hole enlarged earlier.
 Step 14
Slide the pushrod wire into the tube near the rudder servo.
 Step 15
With the rudder servo still centered, secure the servo horn to the rudder servo using the screw provided with the servo.
11Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual
 Step 16
Use a straight edge to make sure the rudder is aligned with the fin.
 Step 17
Slide a clevis retainer on the clevis. Thread the 2mm nut and clevis back on the pushrod wire. Attach the clevis in the center hole of the control horn. Tighten the nut against the clevis, then slide the clevis retainer over the forks of the clevis to keep it from popping loose in flight.
Important: Make sure to use threadlock on all metal­to-metal fasteners.
Step 18
Repeat Steps 12 through 17 to install the 27.5-inch (698mm) linkage wire for the elevator. Attach the clevis to the center hold on the elevator control horn.
Aileron Servo Installation
Required Parts
Wing panel (right and left) Metal clevis (2) Clevis retainer (2) 2mm nut (2) Wing dowel (2) Servo with hardware (2) 9-inch (228mm) servo entension (2) Aileron linkage wire, 3.5-inch (90mm) (2)
Tools and Adhesives
Thin CA Mixing cup 30-minute epoxy Mixing stick Rubbing alcohol Paper towel
Phillips screwdriver: #1 Side cutters
Thin CA
Important: Check and break in the aileron hinges before starting this section of the manual. Apply thin CA to any loose hinges.
 Step 1
Secure a 9-inch (228mm) servo extension to the aileron servo.
12 Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual
 Step 2
Thread a servo mounting screw into each of the holes for mounting the servo. This will cut the threads for the screws in preparation of the next step.
 Step 3
Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the surrounding wood. This harder surface will make the screws less likely to vibrate loose.
 Step 4
Remove the tape that secures the string inside the wing. Do not remove the string from the wing. Tie the end around the servo extension.
 Step 5
Use the string to pull the servo lead through the wing and out the hole as shown.
 Step 6
Secure the servo in the wing using the screws included with the servo. Make sure the output of the servo faces the aileron.
 Step 7
Remove the stock servo horns from the servo. Center the servo using the radio system. Use a 180-degree servo horn on the servo. You may need to rotate the horn 180-degrees to get it to align parallel to the aileron hinge line. Use a pin drill and 5/32-inch (2mm) drill bit to enlarge the hole that is 9/16-inch (15mm) from the center of the servo horn for the pushrod wire.
