INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the SPARROW HAWK ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The SPARROW
HAWK was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a 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 SPARROW HAWK 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 SPARROW HAWK . 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.

NOTE: To avoid scratching your new aero-
plane we suggest that you cover your
workbench with an old towel. Keep a
couple of jars or bowls handy to hold
the small parts after you open the
bags.
Please trial fit all parts. Make sure you
have the correct parts and that they
fit and are aligned properly before
gluing! This will ensure proper assembly as the SPARROW HAWK is
made from natural materials and
minor adjustments may have to be
made. The paint and plastic parts
used in this kit are fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant of many
harsh chemicals including the following: paint thinner, cyano-acrylate glue
accelerator, cyanoacrylate glue debonder and acetone. Do not let these
chemicals come in contact with the
colours on the covering and the plastic parts.
1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. This will help ensure an equal amount
of hinge is on either side of the hinge line when
the aileron is mounted to the aileron.
HINGING THE AILERONS.
3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron.
Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron
against the wing panel. A gap of 1/64” or less
should be maintained between the wing panel
and aileron.
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:
4)Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
ailerons front surface should lightly contact the
wing during this procedure. Ideally , when the
hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less
will be maintained throughout the lengh of the
aileron to the wing panel hinge line.
Note:
The hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick or
penetrate and distribute throughout the
hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structure of the wing panel and aileron.

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
8) After both ailerons are securely hinged,
firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully
applying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
5) T urn the wing panel over and deflect the
aileron 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 aileron and wing panel.
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
aileron hinge area.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
Work the aileron up and down several
times to “work in” the hinges and check
for proper movement.
Note:
INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS.

WING ASSEMBLY.
NOTE: We highly recommend using 30
minute epoxy as it is stronger and provides
more working time, allowing the builder to
properly align the parts. Using fast cure epoxy
when joining the wing halves could result in the
glue drying before the wing halves are aligned
properly which may result in failure of the wing
centre section during flight.
1) Test fit the Wing tube into each wing half.
The brace should slide in easily up to the
centreline that you drew. If not, use 220 grit
sandpaper with a sanding block and sand
down the edges and ends of the brace until it
fits properly.
Be careful do not to drill through the
top of the wing!

3) Peel off the backing from the self adhesive covering strip. Apply the strip to the centre
section of the wing starting from the bottom
trailing edge. Wrap the strip all the way around
the wing until it meets the trailing edge again.
Trim off any excess strip.
Carefully slide the two wing halves together
and firmly press them together, allowing the
excess epoxy to run out. There should not be
any gap in the wing halves. Use rubbing
alcohol and a paper tower to clean up any
excess epoxy.
Apply masking tape at the wing join to hold
the wing halves together securely .
2) Remove the brace when satisfied with
its fit ineach wing half. Coat the dihedral brace
with 30 minute epoxy. Next, pour some epoxy
into the dihedral box in one wing panel. Make
sure you cover the top and bottom as well as
the sides of the dihedral brace.Use enough
epoxy to fill any gaps.
Masking tape.
1) Install the pushrod housing through the
predrilled hole in the firewall and into the servo
compartment. The pushrod housing should
protrude 1/4" out past the front of the firewall.
Make a Z-Bend 1/4" from one end of the plain

Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to
permenently set the angle of the vent tube.
Important: When the stopper assembly is in-
stalled 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.
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.
Attach the fuel and pressure pipes to the
tank. The lower pipe is the ‘feed’ and the upper
two the ‘pressure and fill’. The fill pipe is the
next pipe.
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.
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 .

1) We highly recommend setting up the
SPARROW HAWK using the control throws
listed at right. We have listed control throws
for Low Rate (initial test flying/sport flying).
CONTROL THROWS.
3) When the elevator, rudder and aileron
control surfaces are centered, use a ruler and
check the amount of the control throw in each
surface. The control throws should be
measured at the widest point of each surface!
FLIGHT PREPARATION.
4) By moving the position of the adjustable control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of that
control surface. Moving the adjustable control horn toward the control surface will increase the amount of throw.

T o correct this, move the battery and receiver
forward or if this is not possible, stick weight
onto the firewall or use a brass heavy hub spinner hub.
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 10 cm back from the
leading edge of the wing, measured at the
wing tip.

2) 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
sides under the horizontal stabilizer . If the tail
of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy .

B) Plug in your radio system per the
manufacturer's instructions and turn everything on.
F)From behind the airplane, look at the
aileron on the right wing half. Move the aileron
stick to the right. The right aileron should move
up and the other aileron should move down. If
it does not, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
E)Check the throttle. Moving the throttle
stick forward should open the carburetor barrel. If it does not, flip the servo reversing switch
on your transmitter to change the direction.
D) Check the rudder. Looking from behind the airplane, move the rudder stick to the
right. The rudder should move to the right. If it
does not, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
C) Check the elevator first. Pull back on
the elevator stick. The elevator halves should
move up. If it they do not, flip the servo reversing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
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.
6) Check to ensure the control surfaces
are moving the proper amount for both low
and high rate settings.
8) Properly balance the propeller. An out
of balance propeller will cause excessive vibration which could lead to engine and/or airframe failure.
We wish you many safe and enjoyable
flights with your SP ARROW HAWK .
7) Check the receiver antenna. It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.
PREFLIGHT CHECK.
1) Completely charge your transmitter
and receiver batteries before your first day of
flying.
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.
2) Check every bolt and every glue joint
in the SPARROW HAWK to ensure that ev-
erything is tight and well bonded.
