OPTIONAL PARTS

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

1. Remove packing tape, clean and polish the wing surface.

3. Find the short servo mounts. Drill pilot holes for the servo mounting

screws.

4. Carefully roughen the wing servo mounting surface for the servo

mount using either a rotary tool on low speed or 80 grit sandpaper. Only lightly scuff the inner surface of the wing panel to give the epoxy something to grip. DO NOT sand through the surface of the wing panel. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with denatured alcohol or 91% IPA.

5. Cut 3 arms from a 4 arm servo horn.

6. Test ﬁt the servo with the servo arm

installed. Enlarge the opening in the mount as necessary to allow the servo to sit fully in the mount. Test ﬁt the servo mount screws as well to ensure they do not protrude through the mount and damage the wing surface. If the screws protrude, cut them off so they are below the surface of the mount.

BUILDING PRECAUTIONS

Prepare the work surface prior to beginning the build. The surface should be soft and free of any sharp objects. We recommend resting the airframe parts on a soft towel or pit mat to prevent scratching or denting the surface of the aircraft.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

When transporting and storing your model, you will need a minimum of 80 inches (2m) in length, and 18 inches (46cm) in height to accommodate the size of the fuselage. We also recommend the use of wing and stabilizer bags to help protect these surfaces during transport and storage. The control horns and linkages can cause damage to other surfaces even when placed in storage bags. Always transport and store the wings and stabilizer so the linkages do not contact other panels to prevent damage.

FLUORESCENT COLOR CARE

The ﬂuorescent color used on your model can fade with exposure to direct sunlight over time. To increase the longevity of the ﬂuorescent color on the aircraft, limit the exposure to direct sunlight when not ﬂying. If repairs become necessary or if you decide to color optional parts to match the fuselage color, Tamiya spray color, PS-24, Fluorescent Orange is a close match to the color used on the model. For best results, PS-24 needs to be sprayed over Tamiya Fine White Primer (TAM87044) and clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13, Clear.

OUTER WING PANELS

2. Cut an access hole in the root end of the outer wing panel using a

rotary tool. TIP: Make the hole just large enough for the servo connector to ﬁt through. If the hole is too big, the extension will fall back into the wing panel when disconnected.

7. Measure and mark the wing panel at the servo hatch; 10mm from

raised outer hatch edge and 45mm from rear raised edge. When mounting the frame in the wing, the edge of the frame lines up with the front and back marks, and the servo output lines up with the 45mm mark.

8. Using epoxy (DLMAD64), install the servo mount to the wing panel.

Ensure the servo arm will align with the surface control horn. The arm clearance notch should face the wingtip and the servo lead notch should face forward. Clean any epoxy from the servo mounting area, which may interfere with the servo ﬁtting into the mount, with paper towel and alcohol. Allow the epoxy to cure fully.

9. Install anti-rotation pins in the root end with epoxy. Do not push the

pin in past half the length of the pin. Wipe away any excess epoxy with paper towel and alcohol.

10. Connect a 12” servo lead extension to the aileron servo. Secure the

extension with a servo connector clip (SPMA3054) or heat shrink tubing.

11. Use either a string with a weight attached or a long plastic pushrod

to thread the assembled servo extension through the wing panel and out the previously cut access hole. TIP: Feed the string or plastic rod through the access hole to the servo hatch and attach the servo lead to the end. Pull the servo lead end back through the access hole.

12. Install the servo arm. Install the servo in the mount using short

servo screws (2 x 8mm).

13. Carefully measure and cut the hole in the hatch for the servo arm

using a rotary tool or hobby knife. Test ﬁt the hatch often to ensure adequate clearance of the servo arm through full travel of the servo. Round the outside corners of the hatch to fully ﬁt into the recessed mounting area of the wing panel.

14. Cut a piece of white UltraTrim (HANU80000) adhesive ﬁlm about

3cm larger than the size of the servo hatch.

15. Peel and stick the adhesive ﬁlm to the ﬁnished side of the servo hatch. TIP: Start at the center of the hatch and carefully press any air

bubbles and wrinkles out of the ﬁlm as you work your way to the edges. Cut and remove the hole for the servo arm. Trim the ﬁlm to approximately 10mm past the edge of the hatch and ease the corners as shown to help prevent the corners from lifting after use.

16. Carefully install the servo hatch to the wing panel by placing the hatch in the recess of the wing panel and pressing the ﬁlm to the wing panel around the perimeter of the hatch. Work outward from the hatch to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles.

10mm

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

17. With the aileron held at center, measure between the holes of the

servo arm and the control horn.

18. Set the length of the aileron pushrod to the measurement above by

turning in or out on the clevis at either end of the pushrod. When the correct length is achieved, apply thread locking compound and tighten the nuts against the clevis. Try to center the threaded rod between the two clevises. TIP: The excess threaded rod may be cut off, if desired. Leave enough of the rod that at least 3 threads are visible on the inside of the clevis, as shown.

19. Install the pushrod to the servo and control surface horns. Ensure

the control surface is centered when the servo is at neutral.

20. Repeat steps 1–19 for the opposite outer wing panel.

2. Lay the ﬁnished outer wing panel next to the inner wing panel as

shown. Mark the location of the outer wing access hole on the inner wing panel.

4. Connect a 48” and 24” servo extension together to create an inner aileron extension. Secure with a clip or heat shrink tubing.

3. Cut access holes in both the outer and root ends of the inner wing panel. The holes should be just large enough to ﬁt the servo connectors through to keep the ends from falling back into the wing.

5. Insert a long plastic pushrod or weighted string through the cut access hole in either end of the panel and out the ﬂap servo hatch. Attach one end of the assembled aileron servo extension to the pushrod. Pull the extension end through the wing panel and out the access hole. Tape the extension end to the end of the wing panel. Repeat the procedure from the other end of the panel to pull the opposite end of the aileron servo extension through the access hole in the other end of the wing panel.

INNER WING PANELS

1. Remove packing tape, clean and polish the wing surface.

10mm

6. Connect an 18” servo extension to the spoiler lead and secure it

with a clip or heat shrink tubing. Thread the extension through the inner end of the wing panel as before.

11. Install the ﬂap servo mount using epoxy. Align the mount with the marks made in the previous step. Remove any epoxy that squeezes into the mounting lug slots or the inner base of the mount which may interfere with the servo. Ensure the mount bonds to the wing spar as well as the surface and that the servo arm will align with the ﬂap control horn. Allow epoxy to fully cure.

8. Carefully trim the webs from the servo mounting lugs. Test ﬁt the

servo in the servo mount. The servo should be a very snug ﬁt in the mount.

13. Center the servo and install the control horn angled slightly toward the trailing edge of the wing.

14. Slide the servo into the mount as shown.

7. Using hot glue or contact adhesive, such as Deluxe Systems

Foam2Foam (DLMAD34), secure the aileron and spoiler leads to the spar at the front of the servo hatch. Doing so will keep the leads from shifting and interfering with the ﬂap servo arm and pushrod.

12. Cut the ﬂap servo arm to length.

9. Carefully scuff the wing ﬂap servo mounting surface for the servo

15. Using the acetate template provided, create a servo retention plate using 1/8” and 1/16” ply.

10. Measure and mark the ﬂap servo hatch opening, 12mm from the

rear recess line and 17mm from the outer recess line, as shown in the illustration.

17mm

12mm

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

79mm

16. Secure the servo in the mount with the servo retention plate and

two screws. Ensure the screw heads sit below the servo hatch mounting surface and the screws don’t damage the outer surface of the wing panel.

17. Connect a 24” servo extension to the servo lead and secure with

a clip or heat shrink tubing. Thread the extension through the wing root end of the wing panel, using a long plastic pushrod or weighted string as before.

18. Cut the pushrods to 79mm length.

19. Install the pushrod to the ﬂap horn and servo arm. Deﬂect the ﬂap

down and insert one end of the pushrod through the hole in the trailing edge of the wing and connect it to the servo arm. Connect the other end of the pushrod to the ﬂap control horn.

20. Install the servo hatch to the wing with tape as done on the outer wing panel.

21. Install anti-rotation pins in the root end of the panel with epoxy. Wipe away any excess epoxy with paper towel and alcohol.

22. Trim and attach the ﬂap pushrod exit cover to the top of the wing using contact cement.

23. Repeat steps 1–22 for the opposite inner wing panel.

13mm

1. Clean and polish the fuselage.

2. Remove the tailwheel using a 2.5mm hex driver.

3. Feed a weighted string or long ﬂexible pushrod through the elevator

servo opening, through the vertical ﬁn, through the small hole in front of the rudder servo opening and up through the fuselage tail. This will be used later to pull the rudder and elevator servo extensions through the fuselage.

4. Trim a servo arm to 13mm.

5. Center the rudder servo and install the servo arm.

6. A 60” servo extension is required for the rudder servo. Connect a

48” and a 12” extension to the rudder servo. Secure all connections with servo extension clips or heat shrink tubing.

RUDDER INSTALLATION

1. Slide the winglet blade into the winglet slot.

2. Slide the assembly into the slot in the outer wing panel tip.

3. Trim the winglet blade to length, if necessary, to achieve a tight ﬁt

of the winglet against the wing panel. There should not be a gap between the panel and the winglet.

4. The blade should be a tight ﬁt in both the winglet and the outer

wing panel. The winglet should be taped in place for added security.

WINGLET INSTALLATION

5. Using epoxy, attach a wing tip wheel to the outer wing panel

bottom, near the tip. TIP: Use ﬁne grit sandpaper or a scouring pad to very lightly scuff

the surface of the wing panel where the wheel will be attached to give the epoxy something to grip.

Repeat steps 1-5 for the opposite wingtip.

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

12. Push the rudder over the hinge points in the ﬁn.

13. Carefully insert the rudder hinge pin through the hole in the top of

the rudder and feed it fully through each of the hinge points until it exits through the bottom of the rudder. TIP: The hinge pin is a tight friction ﬁt. It may be necessary to lightly push or pull on the rudder as the pin is inserted to get the pin to seat fully. Do not force the pin through. If you feel resistance, move the rudder slightly and continue to insert the pin.

14. When fully inserted, the hinge pin may be taped at the top of the rudder if desired or if the hinge pin is excessively loose.

95mm

7. Trim the rudder pushrod so the ﬁnished length is 95mm between

the clevis pins. Attach one end of the pushrod to the rudder servo arm.

8. With the fuselage upside down in a stand, feed the servo extension

through the rudder servo cutout and out the elevator servo cutout at the top of the ﬁn. This extension will be pulled through the fuselage with the elevator servo extension later.

9. Install the rudder servo through the tailwheel opening and into the

servo mount. The servo is installed with the output shaft toward the front of the aircraft and the servo arm toward the left side of the fuselage. Feed the open end of the pushrod through the molded opening in the tail as you ﬁt the servo into place. Keep some tension on the servo lead to ensure the lead is not pinched in the opening. TIP: Use a magnetic screwdriver or attach a small magnet to a regular screwdriver to install the servo screws.

10. Rotate the servo horn so the pushrod extends out the back of the ﬁn.

11. Attach the rudder control horn to the pushrod.

53mm

10mm

1. A 72” servo extension is required for the elevator servo. Connect

a 48” and a 24” extension together and connect to the elevator servo. Secure all connections with clips or heat shrink tubing.

2. Tape the ends of the rudder and elevator servo extensions to

the end of the ﬂexible pushrod or string that was inserted in the fuselage earlier. Carefully pull the servo extensions through the fuselage and up to the cockpit.

3. Fit the elevator servo into place with the output shaft toward the

front of the aircraft. Ensure the servo lead is not pinched.

4. Trim the elevator pushrod so the ﬁnished length is 53mm between

the clevis pins. The clevises should be at 90° to each other.

5. Trim the elevator servo arm to 10mm.

6. Attach one end of the pushrod to the elevator servo arm and the

other end to the elevator control horn.

7. Feed the elevator pushrod with the servo arm attached through the top of the ﬁn. Center the elevator servo. Attach the servo horn to the servo output shaft at 90° as shown in the illustration.

8. Attach the horizontal stab to the ﬁn using two M4 X 20mm ﬂathead screws.

ELEVATOR INSTALLATION

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

2. Install the tow release servo into the nose of the fuselage. Slide

the release wire through the small hole in the front of the cockpit. Attach the arm to the servo, ensuring the wire fully opens at one end of the servo travel and fully closes at the opposite end of travel.

IMPORTANT: While the spoilers and retract will operate on 7.2V, for increased longevity and reliability, we recommend regulating the power input of these components to 5.2V with the use of an inline voltage regulator, such as SPMVR5203. If the retract is slow to operate or does not retract to the fully locked position at the regulated voltage, run the retract directly to the receiver at 7.2V.

IMPORTANT: If you are installing the electric power option, skip this section and see the optional electric power installation secton.

1. Carefully cut the rear of the cockpit ﬂoor in the area shown.

2. Connect the gear and spoiler channels from the receiver to the

input ports of the regulator.

3. Connect the output ports of the regulator to the gear lead and the spoiler y-harness.

4. Route all servo leads from the tail to the forward fuselage, keeping them as organized as possible. Use wire ties or hook and loop tape to secure the leads in the fuselage.

5. Prepare six 18-inch servo leads; two for ailerons, two for ﬂaps and two for spoilers. TIP: Use different colored tape wrapped around the ends of the leads to differentiate which leads go to which control surface.

6. Connect all servo leads to the appropriate receiver ports.

7. Mount the receiver under the rear of the cockpit ﬂoor as shown. If

necessary, use small pieces of foam or hook and loop tape to hold the receiver in place. TIP: If desired, cut holes in the rear of the cockpit ﬂoor and route the servo leads to the receiver.

8. Temporarily mount the receiver batteries as far forward in the cockpit as possible. The battery location will be ﬁnalized after the correct center of gravity has been established. The unpowered, glider version will have the batteries mounted as far forward as possible, along with additional nose weight. The electric powered version does not require additional nose weight to balance, and depending on the motor battery used, may require the receiver batteries to be moved rearward.

1. Install the tow release wire to the servo arm.

TOW RELEASE INSTALLATION RADIO INSTALLATION

COCKPIT INSTALLATION

1. Install the ﬁberglass cockpit tub. Squeeze gently on the sides of

the tub to ﬁt it between and under the molded fuselage sides. The holes in the tub should line up with the holes in the fuselage. It is not necessary to secure the tub to the fuselage. The tub is removable to allow for access to the rear of the fuselage and the lower cockpit area.

2. Install an optional pilot into the tub for added scale realism if

desired. It is not necessary to secure the pilot to the tub. TIP: Hangar 9 has partnered with two companies who offer custom pilots; www.warbirdpilots.com in the United States and www.tailoredpilots.com in the United Kingdom offer very detailed pilot ﬁgures to suit the ASH 31.

3. Install the canopy to the fuselage by inserting the pin at the front

of the canopy into the hole at the front of the fuselage and rotating the back of the canopy down against the fuselage, ensuring the side alignment lugs insert into the holes in the fuselage.

4. Slide the wire canopy lock, located under the left wing root, in until

the canopy is secured. It may be necessary to press gently on the back of the canopy to get it to latch fully. The wire lock is purposely a tight ﬁt to prevent coming loose in ﬂight.

OPTIONAL ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. Roughen one side of each of the motor mount pieces using 80 grit

sandpaper.

2. Using 5-minute epoxy, glue the roughened sides of the two motor mount pieces together, ensuring the holes line up accurately. Clean up any excess epoxy with alcohol and a paper towel. Clamp the pieces together until the epoxy fully cures.

3. Trace a line around one side of the mount approximately 1.5mm from the outer edge, as shown.

4. Using the line as a guide, sand a bevel on the edge of the mount by sanding across the edge, from the back corner to the line.

5. Using 1/8” tape, mark a line 25mm back from the nose of the fuselage.

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

6. Carefully cut the nose away from the fuselage using a rotary tool

with a cutoff disk. Do not cut all the way to the tape. Leave some excess to be sanded away later.

7. Following the instructions included with the motor, change the

motor shaft orientation for mounting the motor to the back of the mount.

8. Attach the motor mount to the motor using screws provided with

the motor. If necessary, use a countersink to bevel the holes in the mounting plate. Ensure the narrow side of the edge bevel previously sanded into the mount is facing away from the motor.

9. Insert the motor and mount into the nose of the fuselage from the

inside.

10. Press the propeller adapter onto the motor shaft and loosely install

the propeller nut. Install the spinner over the propeller adapter. Ensure the spinner is fully seated over the adapter. Install the spinner center screw.

11. Press the motor forward and tighten the spinner center screw while pressing against the motor. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the motor in place but still allow for adjusting the spinner placement against the fuselage.

12. Use the spinner to correctly align the motor with the nose of the fuselage.

13. When the alignment is correct, hold the motor steady from the inside of the fuselage and carefully remove the spinner assembly by loosening the spinner center screw, being careful to not move the motor. Slide the spinner assembly off of the motor shaft.

14. With the spinner removed, temporarily tack the motor mount to the fuselage with a couple drops of medium CA and accelerator around the mounting ring.

15. Remove the motor mount screws and remove the motor, being careful not to break the motor mount loose from the fuselage.

16. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Apply a generous bead of epoxy around the joint between the mount and fuselage, both in front of and behind the motor mount. Press the epoxy into the joint and smooth it to form a ﬁllet. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before continuing.

17. Temporarily install the motor and spinner assembly.

18. Measure and mark 1mm back from the spinner around the

fuselage.

19. Remove the spinner assembly and motor and sand the front of the

fuselage back to the line. TIP: Use a sanding block to keep the front of the fuselage straight. Remove material slowly and check the progress often. The goal is to get a perfectly straight line that is parallel with the back of the spinner around the circumference of the fuselage.

20. Mount the motor to the motor mount using medium thread locking

compound.

21. Use hook and loop tape or servo tape to install the ESC in the

cockpit.

22. Connect the motor leads to the ESC following the instructions

included with the motor and ESC.

23. Connect the ESC throttle lead to the appropriate reciever port.

24. Cut and remove the section of the cockpit ﬂoor shown.

25. Mount the motor battery in the cockpit ﬂoor and secure using hook

and loop straps through the pre-cut holes in the cockpit ﬂoor.

26. Mount the receiver batteries at the rear of the cockpit. The receiver batteries can be moved accordingly to adjust the balance of the aircraft. When using the recommended optional power system components no additional ballast should be required. However, proceed to the Balancing the Aircraft section to conﬁrm the correct center of gravity.

CAUTION: Never attempt to ﬂy without properly balancing the aircraft. An un-balanced aircraft will be extremely unstable and

may cause a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

27. Prepare the spinner yoke by installing the tapered shaft and nut. Do not tighten the nut at this time.

28. Check the ﬁt of the propeller blades to the yoke. The blade should move freely when the pin is installed. If not, lightly sand the blades where they contact the yoke to allow free movement.

29. Once the blades ﬁt the yoke, use the pins and clips to secure the blades to the yoke. Ensure the front of the blades are facing toward the notched side of the yoke.

30. Fit the assembly to the motor shaft. Check that the yoke can rotate freely and not contact the front of the fuselage through its full rotation. Use a 12mm wrench to tighten the nut, securing the yoke and adapter.

31. Install the spinner, making sure it ﬁts into the notches in the propeller yoke. Use the screw provided with the spinner and a #1Phillips screwdriver to secure the spinner to the adapter. TIP: The spinner and propeller blades may be painted to match the ﬂuorescent orange of the aircraft nose, using the products mentioned in the Fluorescent Color Care section, making the spinner and propeller almost invisible during ﬂight.

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

1. Cut a hole in the wing root of the fuselage for the various servo leads

from the wing. Ensure the hole aligns with the hole previously cut in the root of the inner wing panel and it is large enough to allow the servo lead connectors to pass through. Use sandpaper to remove any sharp edges around the hole.

2. Insert the wing joiner into the fuselage. The joiner should be a snug

ﬁt in the fuselage opening. Ensure the joiner is centered in the fuselage.

3. Slide the inner wing panels over the ends of the wing joiner,

connecting the servo leads and inserting the wing alignment pin in the fuselage as you slide the panel on.

4. Thread the wing retention nut onto the threaded wing stud from

the inside of the fuselage. Hand tighten the retention nut, ensuring the various servo leads are not pinched between the wing and the fuselage.

5. Slide an outer wing tube into the outer end of the inner wing panel.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: Always ensure the wing is clean, dry and free from any dust or

debris prior to installing the tape. NOTICE: Do not re-use the tape after disassembling the wing. Use new tape every time the wing is reassembled.

6. Slide the outer wing panels over the wingtube until the outer panel contacts the inner panel. Ensure the wing alignment pin is inserted into the wing alignment hole.

7. Wrap the seam between the inner and outer panel with tape. Ensure the tape does not interfere with the operation of the wing control surfaces. White PVC electrical tape is recommended. We have found this tape to be more than sufﬁcient to retain the outer wing panels in ﬂight, even during aggressive aerobatic maneuvers.

8. Install the tip winglet as described in the Winglet Installation section.

9. Repeat steps 1-8 for the opposite wing.

10. Install the cockpit shell, pilot and canopy to the fuselage.

2. The recommended center of gravity (CG) location for your model

is 2

/8–35/16 inches (60–85 mm) back from the leading edge of the wing at the root. Mark the CG location on the wings with tape or a marker. Balance your model upright with your ﬁngers or a balancing stand supporting the model at the marks made on the bottom of the wing.

3. Support the aircraft upright at the marks made on the wing with

your ﬁngers or a commercially available balancing stand. If you are building the unpowered, tow launch version, proceed to

step 5.

4. If you are building the electric powered version, move the receiver

batteries forward or backward in the cockpit until the aircraft sits level or slightly nose down on the balancing stand. When the proper center of gravity is achieved, mount the receiver batteries to the fuselage using hook and loop tape. Proceed to the Control Throws section.

TIP: If the proper balance point cannot be achieved with the receiver batteries fully forward, add self-adhesive weight until the aircraft balances.

BALANCING THE AIRCRAFT

CAUTION: DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Never attempt to ﬂy

without properly balancing the aircraft. An un-balanced aircraft

will be extremely unstable and may cause a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

1. Attach the wing panels, canopy and tail surfaces to the fuselage.

Make sure to connect the leads from the aileron, ﬂaps and spoilers to the appropriate leads from the receiver. Make sure the leads are not exposed outside the fuselage before tightening the wing bolts. Your model should be powered OFF, in an otherwise ﬂight-ready state prior to balancing.

Add ballast to the nose of the aircraft until the fuselage sits level or slightly nose-down on the balancing stand.

TIP: Tape a plastic bag to the outside of the nose of the fuselage and add weight, such as lead shot or Deluxe Materials Liquid Gravity (DLMBD38) to the bag until the aircraft balances.

5. Remove the wings, canopy and ﬂight batteries from the fuselage,

and carefully stand the fuselage up on its nose.

6. Mix the ballast from step 5 with epoxy and micro balloons and add to

the inside of the nose of the fuselage. Allow the mixture to fully cure. TIP: An alternative to adding the ballast directly to the fuselage

is to use the spinner from the Hangar 9 RV-4 (HAN488509) as a mold to hold the epoxy/ballast mixture until it cures. This spinner is an almost perfect match to the shape of the ASH nose. Pour the ballast mixture into the spinner. After fully curing, the mixture can be removed from the spinner and securely mounted in the nose of the fuselage with epoxy.

Return the ﬂight batteries to their position in the cockpit and secure their location.

PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST

• Charge the transmitter, receiver and motor batteries. Follow the instructions provided with the charger. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions for your electronic components.

• Check the radio installation and make sure all control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder, ﬂaps and spoilers) move correctly (i.e., the correct direction and with the recommended throws).

• Check all the hardware (control horns, servo horns, and clevises) to make sure they are secure and in good condition.

• Prior to each ﬂying session (and especially with a new model), perform a range check of your radio system. See your radio manual for the recommended range and instructions for your particular radio system.

DAILY FLIGHT CHECKS

• Check the battery voltage of the transmitter battery. Do not ﬂy below the manufacturer’s recommended voltage. Doing so can cause your aircraft to crash.

• Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, and bolts) prior to each day’s ﬂight. Ensure that binding does not occur and that all parts are properly secured.

• Ensure all surfaces are moving in the proper manner.

• Perform a ground range check before each day’s ﬂying session.

• All servo leads and switch harness plugs should be secured in the receiver.

LIMITED WARRANTY

What this Warranty Covers

Horizon Hobby, LLC, (Horizon) warrants to the original purchaser that the product purchased (the “Product”) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the date of purchase.

What is Not Covered

This warranty is not transferable and does not cover (i) cosmetic damage, (ii) damage due to acts of God, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, commercial use, or due to improper use, installation, operation or maintenance, (iii) modiﬁcation of or to any part of the Product, (iv) attempted service by anyone other than a Horizon Hobby authorized service center, (v) Product not purchased from an authorized Horizon dealer, (vi) Product not compliant with applicable technical regulations, or (vii) use that violates any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY ABOVE, HORIZON MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY ALONE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE PRODUCT WILL SUITABLY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PURCHASER’S INTENDED USE.

Purchaser’s Remedy

Horizon’s sole obligation and purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be that Horizon will, at its option, either (i) service, or (ii) replace, any Product determined by Horizon to be defective. Horizon reserves the right to inspect any and all Product(s) involved in a warranty claim. Service or replacement decisions are at the sole discretion of Horizon. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims. SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

CONTROL THROWS

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.

When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary.

2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom of the

transmitter will make the airplane elevator move up.

3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will make the right

aileron move up and the left aileron move down.

4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons and rudder.

• In Landing or Soaring Mode, the ailerons will move independent from the ﬂaperons.

• In Landing or Soaring Mode, droop the entire trailing edge (ﬂaperons and ailerons) down 1/8–5/32 inches (3–4mm).

• In Cruise or Launch Mode, couple the ailerons and ﬂaperons for full roll control.

• In Cruise or Launch Mode, reﬂex the entire trailing edge (ﬂaperons and ailerons) up 1/8–5/32 inches (3–4mm).

• Use a slider to control the ﬂaperon throw so the amount of travel can be varied.

• We recommend lowering the ﬂaperons 3/8 inches (10mm) during Rise-Off-Ground (ROG) takeoffs and during aero-tow.

• Set the rudder throw to an amount that will not bind the servo.

• Set the maximum ﬂaperon throw to an amount that will not bind the servo.

These are general guidelines measured from our own ﬂight tests. You can experiment with higher rates to match your preferred style of ﬂying. Travel Adjust and Sub-Trims are not listed and should be adjusted according to each individual model and preference. Always install the control horns 90 degrees to the servo center line. Use sub-trim as a last resort to center the servos. Always re-binding the radio system once all of the control throws are set to keep the servos from moving to their endpoints until the transmitter and receiver connect.

AMA NATIONAL MODEL AIRCRAFT SAFETY CODE

Effective January 1, 2014

A. GENERAL

A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying aircraft capable of sustained ﬂight in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competition. All model ﬂights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and any additional rules speciﬁc to the ﬂying site.

1. Model aircraft will not be ﬂown: (a) In a careless or reckless manner. (b) At a location where model aircraft activities are prohibited.

2. Model aircraft pilots will: (a) Yield the right of way to all man carrying aircraft. (b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must be used when appropriate. (AMA Document #540-D.) (c) Not ﬂy higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level within three (3) miles of an airport, without notifying the airport operator. (d) Not interfere with operations and trafﬁc patterns at any airport, heliport or seaplane base except where there is a mixed use agreement. (e) Not exceed a takeoff weight, including fuel, of 55 pounds unless in compliance with the AMA Large Model Aircraft program. (AMA Document 520-A.) (f) Ensure the aircraft is identiﬁed with the name and address or AMA number of the owner on the inside or afﬁxed to the outside of the model aircraft. (This does not apply to model aircraft ﬂown indoors). (g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous boosts except for helicopters operated under the provisions of AMA Document #555. (h) Not operate model aircraft while under the inﬂuence of alcohol or while using any drug which could adversely affect the pilot’s ability to safely control the model. (i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which explode or burn, or any device which propels a projectile or drops any object that creates a hazard to persons or property. Exceptions:

• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke and are securely attached to the model aircraft during ﬂight.

• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-series size may be used provided they remain attached to the model during ﬂight. Model rockets may be ﬂown in accordance with the National Model Rocketry Safety Code but may not be launched from model aircraft.

• Ofﬁcially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are authorized to use devices and practices as deﬁned within the Team AMA Program Document (AMA Document #718). (j) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless in compliance with the AMA turbine regulations. (AMA Document #510-A).

3. Model aircraft will not be ﬂown in AMA sanctioned events, air shows or model demonstrations unless: (a) The aircraft, control system and pilot skills have successfully demonstrated all maneuvers intended or anticipated prior to the speciﬁc event. (b) An inexperienced pilot is assisted by an experienced pilot.

4. When and where required by rule, helmets must be properly worn and fastened. They must be OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved or comply with comparable standards.

B. RADIO CONTROL

1. All pilots shall avoid ﬂying directly over unprotected people, vessels, vehicles or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and property of others.

2. A successful radio equipment ground-range check in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations will be completed before the ﬁrst ﬂight of a new or repaired model aircraft.

3. At all ﬂying sites a safety line(s) must be established in front of which all ﬂying takes place (AMA Document #706.) (a) Only personnel associated with ﬂying the model aircraft are allowed at or in front of the safety line. (b) At air shows or demonstrations, a straight safety line must be established. (c) An area away from the safety line must be maintained for spectators. (d) Intentional ﬂying behind the safety line is prohibited.

4. RC model aircraft must use the radio-control frequencies currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Only individuals properly licensed by the FCC are authorized to operate equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.

5. RC model aircraft will not operate within three (3) miles of any pre-existing ﬂying site without a frequency-management agreement (AMA Documents #922 and #923.)

6. With the exception of events ﬂown under ofﬁcial AMA Competition Regulations, excluding takeoff and landing, no powered model may be ﬂown outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for the pilot and the pilot’s helper(s) located at the ﬂight line.

7. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a model aircraft in ﬂight while it is still under power, except to divert it from striking an individual.

8. RC night ﬂying requires a lighting system providing the pilot with a clear view of the model’s attitude and orientation at all times. Hand-held illumination systems are inadequate for night ﬂying operations.

9. The pilot of a RC model aircraft shall: (a) Maintain control during the entire ﬂight, maintaining visual contact without enhancement other than by corrective lenses prescribed for the pilot. (b) Fly using the assistance of a camera or First-Person View (FPV) only in accordance with the procedures outlined in AMA Document #550. (c) Fly using the assistance of autopilot or stabilization system only in accordance with the procedures outlined in AMA Document #560.

Please see your local or regional modeling association’s guidelines for proper, safe operation of your model aircraft.

OPTIONALE TEILE

3. Die kurzen Servohalterungen ausﬁndig machen. Vorbohrungen für

die Schrauben der Servohalterung bohren.

4. Die Montageoberﬂäche des Tragﬂächenservos für die

Servohalterung mit einem Rotationswerkzeug auf niedriger Geschwindigkeit oder 80-körniges Sandpapier aufrauen. Die Innenﬂäche der Tragﬂächen nur leicht aufrauen, damit das Epoxid greifen kann. NICHT durch die Oberﬂäche der Tragﬂäche schleifen. Die Montageﬂächen mit Brennspiritus oder 91%igen IPA gründlich reinigen.

5. 3 Arme eines 4-armigen Servohorns abschneiden.

6. Den Servo mit montiertem Servoarm probeweise einsetzen. Die

Öffnung in der Halterung bei Bedarf vergrößern, damit der Servo vollständig in der Halterung sitzt. Ebenfalls die Schrauben der Servohalterung probeweise einsetzen, um sicherzustellen, dass sie nicht aus der Halterung hervorstehen und die Oberﬂäche der Tragﬂäche beschädigen. Stehen die Schrauben hervor, diese abschneiden, damit sie unter der Oberﬂäche der Halterung liegen.

VORSICHTSMASSNAHMEN BEIM ZUSAMMENBAU

Die Arbeitsﬂäche vor dem Zusammenbau vorbereiten. Die Oberﬂäche sollte weich und frei von scharfen Objekten sein. Wir empfehlen, die Teile des Flugwerks auf einem weichen Handtuch oder einer Matte zu lagern, um Kratzer oder Beulen an der Oberﬂäche des Flugzeugs zu vermeiden.

TRANSPORT UND LAGERUNG

Beim Transport und der Lagerung des Modells müssen mindestens 2m (80Zoll) in der Länge und 46cm (18Zoll) in der Höhe vorhanden sein, um die Größe des Rumpfs aufnehmen zu können. Wir empfehlen außerdem die Verwendung von Tragﬂächen- und Stabilisatortaschen, um diese Oberﬂächen bei Transport und Lagerung zu schützen. Die Steuerhörner und Gestänge können Schäden an anderen Oberﬂächen verursachen, auch wenn sie in Taschen gelagert sind. Die Tragﬂächen und den Stabilisator immer transportieren und lagen, damit die Gestänge andere Platten nicht berühren und somit Schäden verhindert werden.

PFLEGE DER FLUORESZENZFARBE

Die auf dem Modell verwendete Fluoreszenzfarbe kann bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung im Laufe der Zeit verblassen. Um die Beständigkeit der Fluoreszenzfarbe auf dem Flugzeug zu erhöhen, die direkte Sonneneinstrahlung einschränken, wenn das Flugzeug nicht geﬂogen wird. Sollten Reparaturen notwendig sein oder falls die Farbe der optionalen Teile der Rumpffarbe entsprechen soll, dann ist Tamiya-Sprühfarbe, PS-24 Neon-Orange eine gute Entsprechung der auf dem Modell verwendeten Farbe. Die besten Ergebnisse werden erzielt, wenn PS-24 über Tamiya Grundierung Weiß, fein (TAM87044) gesprüht und mit Tamiya TS-13 Klarlack lackiert wird.

AUSSENTRAGFLÄCHEN

1. Das Klebeband entfernen und die Oberﬂäche der Tragﬂächen

reinigen und polieren.

2. Eine Zugangsöffnung mit einem Rotationswerkzeug in das

Wurzelende an der Außentragﬂäche schneiden. TIPP: Die Öffnung gerade groß genug gestalten, damit der ServoAnschluss hindurch passt. Ist die Öffnung zu groß, so kann die nicht verbundene Verlängerung zurück in die Tragﬂäche fallen.
