A Note On Batteries
Congratulations
Set the control throws as followings for a starting point. After you familiar with its flying characteristics then these control throw can be tailored to fit your flying style.
IMPORTANT - Do not attempt to fly your model before completing this very important section. A model that is not properly balanced will be unstable and could cause serious damage and/or injury. Adjust the battery location or add weight as needed to achieve level balance.
Center of Gravity
Now that you have completed the assembly of your Sept. Fury we feel that you have a very capable and good looking sports scale plane. We hope that you will enjoy this model and get many hours of flying pleasure from its use. Thank you for purchasing this Sept. Fury from Thunder Tiger and we look forward to providing you with other great R/C products in the future.
The batteries are the heart of your radio system. Make sure you have fully charged batteries! With recharge-able batteries, follow the manufacturers instructions to make sure the batteries are fully charged, especial the first time the radio is used. We would recommend you use larger capacity (1000mAh) if you use high performance servos as they will draw more current than ordinary servos.
If there is not a chartered club field in your community, you will need to find a large area free of obstructions, and has a smooth grass or asphalt surface to be used as a runway. For safetysake, it should be located well away from houses, buildings, schools, power lines and airports. If you will be flying within 6 miles of an airport, you should check with the airport manager before flying your model.
Generally, the best place to fly your model is at an AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) chartered club field. Your local hobby dealer can tell you if there is such a club in your area or write the AMA for information. It is also a good idea to join this organization before flying your model since they offer liability insurance that can protect you if your model causes damage or injury to others.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS & MATERIALS
Adhesives - You will need two types of adhesives for the Sept.Fury - Epoxy and Instant (cyanoacrylate) adhesives. We recommend that you purchase both 5-minute and 30­minute epoxy to cut down on assembly time, but you can get by with only 30-minute epoxy if time is not important. You will also need a small bottle of both "Thick" and "Thin" instant CA adhesive.
Tools - Model assembly can be much easier if the proper tools are used. Therefore, we have included in our checklist to the left, a complete listing of all the tools we used to assemble our prototype models. As you will notice, many household tools can be utilized during construction.
Engine-The Thunder T iger PRO-91is the ideal engines for this airplane. This quiet­running engine is easy to start, requires no special break-in periods, easy to maintain and will last for years.
Most Pitts style mufflers will fit this Sept. Fury . However, we recommend the use of Thunder Tiger custom - made Sept. Fury muffler with two exhaust pipes that divert the smoke in to the two concavities of the fuselage to obtain a more scale- like apperance. This muffler fits TT and OS. 60~.90engines.
Thunder Tiger has teamed up with the Michael Brown Racing team to bring this legendary airplane to your hands; Thunder Tiger is proudly to present the only officially licensed 1/7th replica of the "Sept.Fury" to all the R/C hobbyist alike worldwide! It's a replica that has stayed true to the "Sept.Fury" in its purest form, pre-painted fiberglass fuselage and cowl, scale details like panel line and retract well with gear door, etc. With it, you can now experience the thrill of piloting one of the best racing planes in the history! Fly it low, fly it fast to experience the ultimate thrill and pylon racing excitement of the "Sept.Fury".
