!Securely glue together, If coming off during flights, you lose control of your airplane which leads to accidents !

1- Trial fit the wing joiner, into one of the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked. Next, slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panels meet. If the fit is overly tight, it may be necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace.

2- Check for the correct dihedral angle 3- Apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half. Next, Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line. 4- Do the same way with the other wing half. Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Clean off the excess epoxy. 5- Apply masking tape at the wing joint to hold the wing together securely while the epoxy cures.

!Securely glue together. If coming off during flight, you lose control of your air plane.

-Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain that there are no gaps. If the parts will join, but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts a little at a time until the parts meet exactly with no gaps.

-When joining the stabilizer it is extremely important to use plenty of epoxy (30 minutes) or CA glue (thin type).

-Carefully slide the stabilizer into the fin, ensuring that they are accurately aligned, using rubbing alcohol and paper towel, clean off the excess epoxy.

Apply a thin layer of machine oil or petroleum jelly to only the pivot point of the hinges on the elevator, then push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. There should be a minimal hinge gap. When satisfied with the and alignment, hinge the elevator to the horizontal stabilizer using 5 minute epoxy. Make sure to apply a thin layer of epoxy to the top and bottom of both hinges and to inside the hinge slots. Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second elevator to the other side of the horizontal stabilizer.

Cut the opening the board or transparent plastic for the engine head as marked before. Remove the engine and insert the cowl on to the fuselage so the distance from the fire wall to the front of the cowl is 140 to 142mm (section 14). Remove the cowl from the fuselage and carefully cut the opening for the engine head as marked above. Do the same way with the hole for needle-valve. Again. Insert the cowl on to the fuselage and secure it in place with five 2x5mm screws.

DO NOT try to fly an out-of-balance model !

23- Balance

(85 ~ 90mm)

Add weight to nose (as show) until the correct balance is achieved. Stick-on weights are available at your local hobby shop and work well for this purpose.

Battery pack

3.3 ~ 3.5 in.

To get the correct C.G., Several strips of lead weight were required in the nose of this model . To minimize the amount of weight required, it is desirable to position the weight as far forward as possible. This can be done by making a platform form leftover basswood stick and 3.2mm (1/8”) ply wood. Using 4x35mm bolts to mount the engine would also be long enough to mount the flatform. The lead should be permanently glued on with epoxy. IMPORTANT: Recheck the C.G. After the weight has been installed.

How to add nose-weight

Securely install the nose-weight ensuring it will not come loose during flights.

Adjust the travel of the control surfaces to achieve the values stated in the diagrams. These value will be suitable for average flight requirements. Adjust the values to suit your particular needs.

Securely install the battery pack ensuring it will not come loose during flights.

!

BEFORE FLYING CHECK EVERYTHING Before each flight, inspect the airplane for any loose parts. Check the hinges, make sure the pushrods are still firmly attached, and check the engine mounting bolts. In general, check everything on the plane that might possibly come loose.

CHECK THE FREQUENCE BEFORE FLYING

DO NOT FLY NEAR A POWER LINE The power lines cause radio interference, so avoid flying near them.

IMPORTANT:

Please do not clean your model with pure alcohol, only use liquid soap with water or use glass cleaner to clean on surface of your model to keep the colour not fade.
