❏
1. Attach the receiver to the cutout in the rear of the
fuselage using a small section of the supplied hook and loop
tape. Place the rough, or “hook” side of the tape into the
cutout in the fuselage and the soft “loop” side of the tape on
the back of the receiver.
❏
2. Connect the servos and ESC to their channels on the
receiver. You will need to use extensions to allow the aileron
servo and ESC leads to reach the receiver. Use a 6" [153
mm] extension for the aileron servo lead, and a 12" [305
mm] extension for the ESC. Route the servo leads through
the pre-cut channels in the fuselage to reach the receiver.
Hold them in place by applying clear tape (not included) over
the openings.
❏
3. Power up your radio system and center the servos. If
necessary, adjust the center point of the control surfaces by
tightening or enlarging the V-bend in each pushrod.
❏
4. Locate the 1" [25 mm] plastic streamer mount. Mark
the approximate midpoint of the mount.
❏
5. Cut a 1" [25 mm] long groove in the bottom of the
fuselage at the tail as shown. The exact location is not
important; it simply needs to be at the tail of the fuselage. Do
not attach the mount to the rudder control surface.
❏
6. Test fit the mount in the groove. It should insert up to
the midpoint line. Glue in place using epoxy.
❏
7. Drill two 1/8" [3.2 mm] holes in the mount. If not flying
combat, use the two holes to route the antenna from
the receiver.
❏
1. Insert a rubber band as shown.
❏
2. Lay one end of a colored streamer over the mount.
Insert one loop of the rubber band through the loop at the
other end. Pull it tight to hold the streamer in place.
❏
3. Secure the antenna of the fuselage. If left to trail the
the plane, it could become damaged in combat.
The EP FW-190 ARF was designed with the intention that
two or more of these easily built, fun to fly models could be
outfitted with streamers and used for combat. If you intend to
fly combat with this model, you will need to attach the
optional streamer mount using the instructions below.
