General Guidelines and Safety Precautions
It is important that you read and follow this
instruction manual, along with the radio
system manual before you run this exciting
boat. Failure to read and understand the
manual could result in personal injury,
property damage or permanent damage to
your boat. It is also important to run your
boat responsibly. With proper care and
maintenance, you will be able to proudly
enjoy your Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer for
many years to come.
When operating the boat, stay clear of
people, full-scale boats, stationary objects
and wildlife. It is preferable to operate the
Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer in low wake,
low wind conditions and in areas free of
people, wildlife and objects.
Check all of the hardware, and the propeller
for damage and loose screws before and after
each run.
If at any time while operating your model
you sense any abnormal function, end your
operation immediately. Do not operate your
boat again until you are certain the problem
has been corrected. Always stay clear of
the propeller.
This is a sophisticated hobby Product and
not a toy. It must be operated with caution
and common sense and requires some basic

packaging from the box.
6. Use a knife to cut the tape that secures
the packing foam for the main tower to

Basic Assembly
The following steps will prepare your model
for operation. Although there are a lot of
details that can be installed, they are not
necessary to operate you model.
Required Tools and Adhesives
Hobby knife or similar
Side cutter
Medium CA
Required Equipment and Accessories
Transmitter and receiver
Motor battery (charged)
Ballast weight (5 lb or 2.2 kg)
Hook and loop tape
1. Locate the pieces for the boat stand.
The longer side pieces will key to the
shorter end pieces. Use a small amount of
Medium CA to glue the pieces together.
2. Plug the lead from the speed control
into the throttle port of the receiver.
The lead from the rudder servo will plug
into the steering port of the receiver. Be
sure to connect the plugs in the proper
polarity. See the radio instruction manual
for details.
3. Use hook and loop tape to attach the
receiver to the steering servo mounting
plate inside the hull. Route the antenna
wires inside the hull according to the
radio manufacturer's suggestions.
Note: If you are using a 2.4GHz system,
it is recommended to bind the receiver
to the transmitter at this time. Follow
the instructions provided with your radio
system for this procedure.
Note: Make sure to center the trims
for both the steering and throttle on
your transmitter.
4. Place the ballast weight in the ballast
compartment in the hull. We used $8.50
in pennies in our model, but a lead weight
can also be used.
