from the model, and check that all the control surfaces work smoothly and immediately at an appropriate
distance, and deflect in the correct “sense” (direction) relative to the stick movements.
Repeat the check with the engine running while a friend holds the model securely for you.
If you are a relative beginner to model flying, we recommend that you enlist the aid of an experienced
model pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after every flight, and remove any dirt from the propeller. Clean the
aeroplane and the RC components using suitable cleaning agents only. Ask your model shop for
information if you are not sure.
•
If the model is not to be operated for a considerable time it is important to clean and re-lubricate all the
moving parts.
Notes on completing the model
•
Before building the model it is important that you study the plan and read the instructions right through
to the end, using the Parts List as an aid. The instructions and the Parts List reflect the sequence of
assembly.
•
Tools can be dangerous; please be aware of the hazards involved in using them.
•
Use cable of adequate cross-section, capable of carrying the currents which will flow when the model
is flying.
•
Before making any glued joints, be sure to clean the surfaces and remove all traces of grease. We
recommend sanding lightly, or wiping with a non-greasy cleaning agent. The same applies to surfaces
to be painted, otherwise the paint is unlikely to adhere well. Before gluing parts to the fuselage it is
essential to roughen the surfaces with fine abrasive paper and de-grease them with acetone or similar
solvent, otherwise you will not obtain strong, durable joints. This applies in particular to moulded GRP
fuselages.

Radio control system
For this model you require at least a six-channel RC system with nine servos. The transmitter
should also feature a servo reverse facility.
We particularly recommend mc-22 to mc-24 computer systems. The model is designed for standard-size
servos.
We recommend the following receiver battery: SANYO 4KR-1800 SCE, Order No. 3201, which should be
properly maintained before and after each flying session. Please remember that the pack needs to be
cycled (charged and discharged) several times before it reaches full rated capacity.
For connecting the aileron, landing flap and retract servos to the receiver you will need five suppressor
filters, Order No. 1040, or a folding ferrite ring, Order No. 98516.1, together with five extension leads,
Order No. 3935.18.
The two aileron servo leads should be extended using extension leads, Order No. 3935.18.
Foam padding for the receiver and receiver battery are included in the kit.
