PittS 12 Python 50E ARF

ASSEMBLY MANUAL

The new PittS 12 Python 50E

ARF was designed by Italy

aerobatic pilot, Sebastiano Silvestri.
This professional ARF kit is the result of Sebastiano’s long
research in 3D performance and precision. This combined with an
extremely lightweight structure, the all wood airframe and the big

control surfaces give the PittS 12 Python 50E an impressive

thrust-to-weight ratio and crisp control authority at any airspeed
and flight condition.

The PittS 12 Python 50E can do it all… precision aerobatics

manouvres… easy harriers, torque rolls, blenders, waterfalls and
all this for a biplane of this class is unbelievable!

.....the only aerobatic limit is your fantasy!

Warning

This RC aircraft is not a toy!
If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property.
Fly only in open areas, preferably in official flying sites, following all instructions included with
your radio and motor.
This plane is a compromise between Aerobatics and 3D flying, and not a pylon racer.
It is built with a very light structure and for this reason we hardly recommend:

→ Do NOT fly your airplane at high speeds, because this may cause structural
failures or flutter due to the extremely large control surfaces.

Before starting assembly

Modellbau Lindinger GmbH

Before starting the assembly of your PittS 12 Python 50E, remove each part from its bag and
protection for a prior inspection. Closely inspect the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for
damage. If you find any damage or missing parts, contact the place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or covering iron to remove them. Use
caution while working around areas where the covering material overlap to prevent separating the
covers.

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 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.
