SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not unwrap
the pieces until they are needed for assembly. Cover
your workbench with an old towel or brown paper,
both to protect the aircraft and to protect the table.
Keep a couple of jars or bowls handy to hold the
small parts after you open the bag.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTION:

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the propeller
only . Do not reach around the spinning propeller.

NOTE:

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. The
STREGA GP/EP Size 30cc SCALE 1:6 ½ ARF is
hand made from natural materials, every plane is
unique and minor adjustments may have to be made.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

1. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering
from the fuselage for the stabilizer and remove it.

2. Remove the covering from the stabilizer.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead

to possible failure during flight.

3. Attach the wing to the fuselage as picture.

4. Test the position of the elevator and adjust it as
shown.

Cut off shaded portion

5. When you are sure that everything is aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30 minute
epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the bottom and to the
top of the stabilizer mounting area and to the
stabilizer mounting platform sides in the fuselage.
Insert the stabilizer in place and re-align. Double
check all of your measurements one more time
before the epoxy cures. Remove any excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

6. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the masking
tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer in place and
carefully inspect the glue joints. Use more epoxy to fill
in any gaps that were not filled previously and clean
up the excess using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol.

INSTALLING THE Fuel Tank

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.

Elevator Servo

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.

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.

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 155mm (

6.1 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 155mm ( 6.1 in) back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

Electric Speed Controller

Must be purchased
separately!

Follow instruction
manual of Motor and ESC.

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.

31

Instruction Manual

STREGA

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.

155mm

( 6.1 in)

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.

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.

Ailerons : 11 mm up 11 mm down
Elevator : 11 mm up 11 mm down
Rudder : 30 mm right 30 mm left
Flap : 15 - 20 mm down

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.
