INSTALLING THE Tail wheel

Instruction Manual

1. The stopper has been pre-assembled at the factory.

2. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line is calculated by how the weighted clunk should rest about 5mm away from the rear of the tank and move freely inside the tank). Connect one end of the line to the weighted clunk and the other end to the nylon pick up tube in the stopper.

3. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.

4. Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve.

When the stopper assembly is installed in the

tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just below the top surface of the tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.

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.

INSTALLING THE Fuel 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. Secure the fuel tank.

MOUNTING THE COWL

1. Remove the muffler and needle valve assembly from the engine. Slide the fiberglass cowl over the engine.

2. Measure and mark the locations to be cut out for engine head clearance, needle valve, muffler. Remove the cowl and make these cutouts using a rotary tool with a cutting disc and a rotary sanding drum attachment.

3. 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.

Enlarging the holes through the cowl will prevent

the fiberglass from splitting when the mounting screws are installed.

6. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure it in place using four screws.

7. Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and pressure lines to the carburator, muffler and fuel filler valve. Tighten the screws completely.

4. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl and the side edges of the firewall.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH

1. The switch should be mounted on the fuselage side, opposite the muffler, close enough to the receiver so the lead will reach. Use the face plate of the switch cut out and locate the mounting holes.

2. Cut out the switch hole using a modeling knife. Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two mounting holes through the fuselage side.

3. Secure the switch in place using the two machine screws provided with the radio system.

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY

1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into the receiver. You may want to plug an aileron extension into the receiver to make plugging in the aileron servo lead easier when you are installing the wing. Plug the battery pack lead into the switch.

2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the protective foam to protect them from vibration. Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the foam in place.

Do not permanently secure the receiver and battery

until after balancing the model.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane.

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.

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 185mm

(7.3 in) BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side of the wing 185mm (7.3 in) back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

FLIGHT PREPARATION PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your plane to ensure that everything is tight and well bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

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.

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.
