NOTE:
1. Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly before gluing! This will assure proper assembly. EXTRA 330SC is hand made from natural materials, every plane is unique and minor adjustments may have to be made. However, you should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
2. The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
3. EXTRA 330SC will perform 3-D aerobatics easily if you use the largest engines recommended within the engine range. If you setup your airplane to do 3D maneuvers, you will need to be throttle conscious; that is, never apply full throttle on straight and level flying or in dives to prevent flutter.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
• This is not a toy.
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.

5. Test fit the stopper assembly into the tank. It may be necessary to remove some of the flashing around the tank opening using a modeling knife. If flashing is present, make sure none of it falls into the tank.
6. When satisfied with the alignment of the stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm machine screw until the rubber stopper expands and seals the tank opening. Do not over tighten the assembly as this could cause the tank to split.
7. Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of fuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2 vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in the stopper.
8. Feed three lines through the fuel tank compartment and through the pre-drilled hole in the firewall. Pull the lines out from behind the engine, while guiding the fuel tank into place. Push the fuel tank as far forward as possible, the front of the tank should just about touch the back of the firewall. Blow through one of the lines to ensure the fuel lines have not become kinked inside the fuel tank compartment. Air should flow through easily.
Do not secure the tank into place permanently
until after balancing the airplane. You may need to remove the tank to mount the battery in the fuel tank compartment.
9. To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of the tank, where it exits the fuselage behind the engine mounting box and to the rear of the tank at the forward bulkhead.

2. Slide the cowl back into place. Align the front of the cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The front of the cowl should be positioned so the crankshaft is in the middle of the precut opening. Hold the cowl firmly in place using several pieces of masking tape.
3. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill
four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl and the side edges of the firewall.
4. Using a 3mm drill bit, enlarge the four holes in the cowling.
Enlarging the holes through the cowl will prevent
the fiberglass from splitting when the mounting screws are installed.
5. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure
it in place using four 3mm x 12mm wood screws.
MOUNTING THE COWL
1. Measure and mark the locations to be cut out for engine head clearance, needle valve, muffler. Remove the cowl and make these cut outs using a rotary tool with a cutting disc and a rotary sanding drum attachment.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side of the wing 130mm back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane.
BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced correctly. Improper balance will cause your plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
130mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This location is recommended for initial test flying and trimming. There is a 5mm margin forward and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose heavy. To correct this first move the battery pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not possible or does not correct it, stick small amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery and receiver forward or if this is not possible, stick weight into the firewall. When balanced correctly, the airplane should sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it up with your fingers.
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G.
You should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may require two people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip. Follow this procedure until the wing stays level when you lift the airplane.
CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the widest point of each control surface.
3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in the correct directions.
