It is essential to read and observe the Safety Notes in the Appendix to these instructions. If you 
ever  dispose  of  the  model,  be  sure to  pass  on  these  safety notes  to  the  new  owner,  together 
with the complete building instructions. 
 

Introduction 
The LEKI EXTRA 330SC is a superbly manoeuvrable RC aerobatic model which is 
an excellent choice for simple aerobatics and extreme 3-D flying alike. Please note: 
the  aeroplane  is  by  no  means  suitable  for  beginners.  
The  model  is  very  highly 
pre-fabricated,  but  nevertheless  the  construction  stages  described  in  these  instruc-
tions  must  be  carried  out  with  great  care,  otherwise  we  cannot  guarantee  that  the 
model will fly accurately and safely. The all-up weight must not exceed 1350 g. 
 
RC system accessories and electric power system components (not included)

Building instructions 
Please read right through these building instructions before you start building, so that 
you  have  a  clear  idea  of  the  sequence  required.  Before  each  stage  identify  all  the 
parts, tools  and  adhesives  you  will  need,  and  place  them  ready.  Use  a  sharp  balsa 
knife  to  remove  rough  edges  from  the  airframe  components,  and  cut  through  any 
temporary  lugs  produced  by  the  moulding  process.  Do  NOT  separate  the  control 
surfaces;  instead  flex  them  to  and  fro  several  times  to  free  up  the  moulded  hinges. 
When working on foam components always lay the parts on a clean, smooth surface, 
or a layer of soft foam. Use cyano glue and activator for all joints unless the instruc-
tions specifically state otherwise. The best method is to apply glue to one face, then 
spray activator on the mating face before bringing the parts together. 
Cyano-acrylates must not contact any part of your body, and especially not the 
eyes.  For  this  reason  we  recommend  that  you  wear  protective  goggles  when 
using this material. Store the adhesive out of the reach of children. Do not use
