* Note for using NACA droops.
- Please kindly see and install NACA
droops as instruction. is was required
installing correctly about the posittion
and the angle. Please use the wing airfoil shaped tool (the wood piece) that we
supplied for the kit. Should adjust NACA
droops t to the wing airfoil shaped tool
as photo 12 (toward big wing airfoil) and
as photo 16 (toward small wing airfoil ).
Should not make the slit as photo 11 (toward big wing airfoil) and as photo 15
(toward small wing airfoil ). Also install
droops to le wing like right wing so that
avoiding roll the model while it take- o.

APPLY THE DECALS
- If all the decals are precut and ready to
stick. Please be certain the model is clean
and free from oily ngerprints and dust.
Position decal on the model where desired, using the photos on the box and aid
in their location.
- If all the decals are not precut, please
use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut
the decals from the sheet. Please be certain the model is clean and free from oily
ngerprints and dust. Position decal on
the model where desired, using the photos on the box and aid in their location.
BALANCING
21.
22.
Clear Tape
- 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 90MM BACK
FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE WING AT THE WING ROOT.
- Mount the wing to the fuselage. Place a
piece of masking tape on the top of each
wing 90mm back from the leading edge
at the wing root.
- With the model inverted, place your
ngers on the masking tape and carefully
li the plane. is is the point at which
your model should balance for your rst
ights. Later, you may wish to experiment
by shiing the balance up to 10mm forward or back to change the ying characteristics. Moving the balance forward
may improve the smoothness and arrow- like tracking, but it may then require
more speed for take o and make it more
dicult to slow down for landing. Moving the balance a makes the model more
agile with a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In
any case, please start at the location we
recommend.
46
* If possible, rst 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.
- With the wings attached to the fuselage,
all parts of the model installed ( ready to
y), and empty fuel tanks, hold the model
at the marked balance point with the stabilizer level.
- Li the model. If the tail drops when
you li, the model is “tail heavy” and you
must add weight* to the nose. If the nose
drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must
add weight* to the tail to balance.

FLIGHT PREPARATION PREFLIGHT CHECK
Check the operation and direction of the
elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle.
A) Plug in your radio system per the
manufacturer’s instructions and turn everything on.
B) Check the elevator rst. Pull back
on the elevator stick. e elevator halves
should move up. If it they do not, ip the
servo reversing switch on your transmitter to change the direction.
C) Check the rudder. Looking from behind the airplane, move the rudder stick
to the right. e rudder should move
to the right. If it does not, ip the servo
reversing switch on your transmitter to
change the direction
.
1) Completely charge your transmitter and receiver batteries before your rst
day of ying.
2) Check every bolt and every glue joint
in the P-47D “Little Bunny” to ensure
that everything is tight and well bonded.
3) Double check the balance of the airplane. Do this with the fuel tank empty.
4) Check the control surfaces. All
should move in the correct direction and
not bind in any way.
5) If your radio transmitter is equipped
with dual rate switches double check that
they are on the low rate setting for your
rst few ights.
D) Check the throttle. Moving the
throttle stick forward should open the
carburetor barrel. If it does not, ip the
servo reversing switch on your transmitter to change the direction.
E) From behind the airplane, look at the
aileron on the right wing half. Move the
aileron stick to the right. e right aileron should move up and the other aileron
should move down. If it does not, ip the
servo reversing switch on your transmitter to change the direction.
We wish you many safe and enjoyable ights
with your P-47D “Little Bunny”.
6) Check to ensure the control surfaces are moving the proper amount
for both low and high rate settings.
7) Check the receiver antenna. It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
8) Properly balance the propeller. An
out of balance propeller will cause excessive vibration which could lead to engine
and/or airframe failure.
