INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the SAVAGE CRUISER ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS COMPANY LTD.
The SAVAGE CRUISER was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a
semi scale airplane which is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built
using balsa, plywood to make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane
to be kept light. You will find that most of the work has been done for you already.The motor mount
has been fitted and the hinges are pre-installed . Flying the SAVAGE CRUISER is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your SAVAGE CRUISER . Use the parts listing
below to identify all parts.
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.

HINGING THE FLAP .

The control surfaces, including the
ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are
prehinged with hinges installed, but
the hinges are not glued in place. It
is imperative that you properly
adhere the hinges in place per the
steps that follow using a high-quality
thin C/A glue.
Note:
1) Carefully remove the flap from one of
the wing panels. Note the position of the hinges.
2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and flap and place a T -pin in the center of each
hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron until
the T -pin is snug against the aileron. This will
help ensure an equal amount of hinge is on
either side of the hinge line when the flap is
mounted to the wing panel.
3) Slide the flap on the wing panel until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and flap. Remove
the T -pins and snug the flap against the wing
panel. A gap of 1/64” or less should be
maintained between the wing panel and flap.

Note:
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the flap in place.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a
paper towel, remove any excess C/A glue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
flap hinge area.
5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the
flap in the opposite direction from the opposite
side. Apply thin C/A glue to each hinge, making
sure that the C/A penetrates into both the flap
and wing panel.
8) After both flap are securely hinged, firmly
grasp the wing panel and flap to make sure
the hinges are securely glued and cannot be
pulled out. Do this by carefully applying
medium pressure, trying to separate the flap
from the wing panel. Use caution not to crush
the wing structure.
Work the flap down several times to

INST ALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBL Y .
2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length
of silicon fuel line. Connect one end of the line
to the weighted fuel pick up and the other end
to the nylon pick up tube.
1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut
off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes
leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the
stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.
Vent tube.
Fuel pick up tube.

ENGINE MOUNT INST ALLATION.
1) Locate the items necessary to install the
engine mount included with your model. .
2) Use four 4x30mm head bolts and four 4mm
washers to attach the engine mount rails to
the firewall. Tighten the screws . Make sure to
use threadlock on the screws to help prevent
them from vibrating loose.

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
4) 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 falls into the tank.
5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick-up should rest away from
the rear of the tank and move freely inside the
tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper expands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you attach
fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once
the tank is installed inside the fuselage, it may
be difficult to determine which is which.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.
7) Slide the fuel tank into the fuselage. Guide
the lines from the tank through the hole in the
firewall.
Fuel tank.
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.
9) Connect the lines from the tank to the engine
and muffler. The vent line will connect to the
muffler and the line from the clunk to the
carburetor.

Because of the size of the cowl, it may be necessary to use a needle valve extension for the
high speed needle valve. Make this out of sufficient length 1.5mm wire and install it into the
end of the needle valve. Secure the wire in
place by tightening the set screw in the side of
the needle valve.
2) While keeping the back edge of the
cowl flush with the marks, 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 nearly the middle of the cowl
opening. Use the spinner backplate as a guide.
Hold the cowl firmly in place using pieces of
masking tape.

9) Move the throttle stick to the closed position
and move the carburetor to closed. Use a 2.5mm
hex wrench to tighten the screw that secures
the throttle pushrod wire. Make sure to use
threadlock on the screw so it does not vibrate
loose.

*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.
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
weight* to the nose. If the nose drops, it is
“nose heavy” and you must add weight* to the
tail to balance.
Accurately mark the balance point on the
botttom of the wing on both sides of the
fuselage. The balance point is located
90 mm
back from the leading edge of the wing at the
wing root. 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 .
3) With the model upright, place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane.
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
90 MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING AT THE WING ROOT.
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a
couple of pieces of masking tape, place them
on the bottom side of the wing
90mm back
from the leading edge of the wing at the wing
root.
1 4) Do not turn plane upside down. Only low
wing models should be turned upsidedown for
balancing. Remove this paragraph, it is not
intended for use in the instructions. it is a note
for you.High Wing models must be balanced
upright.

7) Check the receiver antenna. It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.
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 first few
flights.
2) Check every bolt and every glue joint
in the SAVAGE CRUISER to ensure that ev-
