Hangar 9 Pulse 125 ARF Assembly Manual



Step 4

Place two 3mm washers on the threaded rods.



Step 5

Thread two 3mm locknuts on the threaded rods. Use a

5.5mm nut driver to tighten the nuts.

important

: Do not over-tighten the nuts and damage

the fuselage. The nuts only need to be tightened enough

so the stabilizer and fin are secure and do not move on

the fuselage.

Radio installation

Required Parts

Fuselage

Metal clevis (2)

2mm nut (2)

Clevis retainer (2)

Servo with hardware (2)

Switch harness

Receiver battery

Receiver

1/4-inch (6mm) foam

Y-harness

Elevator linkage wire, 27.5-inch (698mm)
Rudder linkage wire, 28.5-inch (724mm)

Tools and Adhesives

Phillips screwdriver: #1, #2

Side cutters

Straight edge

Thin CA

Pin drill

Drill bit: 5/64-inch (2mm)



Step 1

Slide the hatch on the fuselage forward to disengage the

magnets at the rear of the hatch. Lift the hatch up at the rear

and remove it from the fuselage.



Step 2

Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a servo mounting

screw into each of the holes in the radio tray. This will cut

the threads for the screws in preparation of the next step.



Step 3

Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the

surrounding wood. This harder surface will make the screws

less likely to vibrate loose.
