JOCKER Instruction Manual
Dieses ferngesteuerte R/C Flugmodell ist für Anfänger nicht geeignet sondern richtet sich an fortgeschrittene Modellbauer. Trotz sehr hoher Vorfertigung erfordern die Endmontage und der Betrieb des Modells etwas Übung sowie grundlegende Erfahrungen. Wenn Sie unerfahren sind, bitten Sie einen Modellbaukollegen um Hilfe oder fragen Ihren Modellbau-Fachhändler vor Ort. Bevor Sie mit dem Zusammenbau beginnen, prüfen Sie den Inhalt auf Vollständigkeit, Passgenauigkeit bzw. eventuelle Mängel. Für den Zusammenbau benötigen Sie das übliche Werkzeug sowie Klebstoffe wie Sekundenkleber und 5-Minuten Epoxy. Der Lieferumfang kann ggf. abweichen. Das Modell wurde von erfahrenen Mitarbeitern weitgehenst in Handarbeit gefertigt und selbstverständlich vor dem Versand im Werk sorgfältig geprüft. Trotzdem bitten wir Sie zu beachten:
Wir entwickeln und fertigen unsere Modelle zum Fliegen, und nicht um damit einen Scale-Wettbewerb zu gewinnen.
Deshalb gilt: Kleine Unregelmäßigkeiten am Modell sind normal und berechtigen nicht zur Reklamation. Ein gewisses Maß an Nacharbeit kann erforderlich sein und ist dem Kunden (= fortgeschrittener Modellbauer) zuzumuten. Das Modell wurde werksseitig mit hochwertiger, bedruckter, selbstklebender PVC-Folie falten- und blasenfrei bespannt. Aufgrund von Temperaturschwankungen während Transport und Lagerung sowie auch an warmen und heißen Plätzen kann es zu mehr oder weniger starker Falten- und Blasenbildung kommen. Dies ist normal und kein Reklamationsgrund. Mit einem Heißluftgebläse (Fön) kann die Folie unter vorsichtiger Wärmeeinwirkung wieder gespannt werden. Verwenden Sie unter keinen Umständen ein Bügeleisen da sonst die Druckfarbe auf der Folie verschmiert. Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis.
WARNING.
Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.
If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training procedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.
TOOLS & SUPPLIES NEEDED.
Thick cyanoacrylate glue. 30 minute epoxy. 5 minute epoxy. Hand or electric drill. Assorted drill bits. Modelling knife. Straight edge ruler.
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 af-
ter you open the bag. 2mm ball driver. Phillips head screwdriver. 220 grit sandpaper.
NOTE.
90° square or builder’s triangle. Wire cutters. Masking tape & T-pins. Thread-lock. Paper towels.
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
assemblyJOCKER-ARF is hand made from natu-
ral materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However,
you should find the fit superior and assembly
simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit
are fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant
of many harsh chemicals including the follow-
ing: paint thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A glue
debonder and acetone. Do not let these chemi-
2
cals come in contact with the colors on the
covering and the plastic parts.

5) When you are sure that everything is a aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in the mounting platform and to the verti­cal stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place and re-align. Double check all of your measurements once more 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. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceed­ing.

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.

WING ATTACHMENT.
Locate the aluminium wing dihedral brace.

*** Test fit the aluminium tube dihedral brace into each wing haft. The brace should slide in easily. If not, use 220 grit sand around the edges and ends of the brace until it fits prop­erly.
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.
3. Position the battery pack and receiver behind the fuel tank. Use two tie wraps to hold the battery and receiver securely in place as pictures below

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 MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING.
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side of the wingmm back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
CG:
Schwerpunkt
110mm
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers on the masking tape and care­fully lift the plane .
Accurately mark the balance point on the top of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. The balance point is located mm back from the leading edge. This is the balance point at which your model should balance for your first flights. Later, you may wish to experiment by shifting the balance up to 10mm forward or back to change the flying characteristics. Moving the balance forward may improve the smoothness and arrow- like tracking, but it may then require more speed for take off and make it more difficult to slow down for landing. Moving the balance aft makes the model more agile with a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case, please start at the loca­tion we recommend .
With the wing attached to the fuselage, all parts of the model installed ( ready to fly), and empty fuel tanks, hold the model at the marked balance point with the stabilizer level.
Lift the model. If the tail drops when you lift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must add weigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must add weight* to the tail to balance.
CONTROL THROWS.
The ideal C.G. is loctaed 110mm from front leading edge.
Der ideale Schwerpunkt befindet sich 110mm hinter der Tragflächenvorderkante
1) The control throws should be meas-
ured at the widest point of each control sur-
2) Check to be sure the control surfaces
move in the correct directions.
25mm up / auf 20mm down / ab
Aileron / Querruder
THROWS / Ruderausschläge
15mm up / auf 15mm down / ab
*If possible, first attempt to balance the model by changing the position of the receiver bat­tery and receiver. If you are unable to obtain good balance by doing so, then it will be nec­essary to add weight to the nose or tail to achieve the proper balance point.
