I/C FLIGHT WARNINGS

Always operate in open areas, away

from factories, hospitals, schools,

buildings and houses etc.

NEVER

fly

your aircraft close to people or built

up areas.

THE PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS

Keep fingers, clothing (ties, shirt

sleeves, scarves) or any other loose

objects that could be caught or drawn

in, away from the propeller. Take care

ALL

times.

Keep all onlookers (especially small

children and animals) well back from

the area of operation. This is a flying

aircraft, which will cause serious

injury in case of impact with a person

or animal.

NEVER

fly near power lines, aerials

or other dangerous areas including

airports, motorways etc.

NEVER

use damaged or deformed

propellers or spinners.

DO NOT

dispose of empty fuel

containers on a fire, this can lead to

an explosion.

NEVER

fly in wet conditions or on

windy or stormy days.

ALWAYS

adjust the engine from

behind the propeller, and do not allow

any part of your body to be in line

with the propeller.

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES

When ready to fly, first extend the

transmitter aerial.

Operate the control sticks on the

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions.

ALWAYS

land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver.

ALWAYS

take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage.

If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

sure none of it falls into the tank.

6. When satisfied with the alignment of the stopper

assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm machine
screw until the rubber stopper expands and
seals the tank opening. Do not over tighten the
assembly as this could cause the tank to split.

7. Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of fuel line

150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2 vent
tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in the
stopper.

8. Feed three lines through the fuel tank

compartment and through the pre-drilled hole in
the  firewall.  Pull  the  lines  out  from  behind  the
engine,  while  guiding  the  fuel  tank  into  place.
Push  the  fuel  tank  as  far  forward  as  possible,
the front of the tank should just about touch the
back of the firewall.

Blow through one of the lines to ensure the fuel

lines have not become kinked inside the fuel
tank compartment. Air should flow through
easily.

Do not secure the tank into place permanently

until after balancing the airplane. You may
need to remove the tank to mount the battery in
the fuel tank compartment.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

INSTALLING THE SPINNER

Install the spinner back-plate, propeller and

spinner cone. The spinner cone is held in place
using two 3mm x 12mm wood screws.

The propeller should not touch any part of the

spinner cone. If it dose, use a sharp modeling
knife and carefully trim away the spinner cone
where the propeller comes in contact with it.

14.Using thick CA glue, secure the pushrod

sleeves to the pushrod sleeve guide.

INSTALLING THE THROTTLE

1. Install one adjustable metal connector through

the  third  hole  out  from  the  center  of  one  servo
arm, enlarge the hole in the servo arm using a
2mm  drill  bit  to  accommodate  the  servo
connector.  Remove  the  excess  material  from
the arm.

After installing the adjustable metal connector

apply a small drop of thin C/A to the bottom
nut. This will prevent the connector from
loosening during flight.

2. Plug the throttle servo into the receiver and turn

on  the  radio  system.  Check  to  ensure  that  the
throttle  servo  output  shaft  is  moving  in  the
correct  direction.  When  the  throttle  stick  is
moved  forward  from  idle  to  full  throttle,  the
throttle barrel should also open and close using
this  motion.  If  not,  reverse  the  direction  of  the
servo, using the transmitter.

3. Slide the adjustable metal connector / servo

arm assembly over the plain end of the
pushrod wire. Position the throttle stick and the
throttle trim at their lowest positions.

4. Manually push the carburator barrel fully

closed.  Angle  the  arm  back  about  45  degree
from  center  and  attach  the  servo  arm  onto  the
servo.  With  the  carburator  barrel  fully  closed,
tighte  the  set  screw  in  the  adjustable  metal
connector.

5. Remove the excess throttle pushrod wire using

wire cutters and install the servo arm retaining
screw.

BOOMERANG 60

Instruction Manual

5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,

cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.

6. When you are sure that everything is aligned

correctly,  mix  up  a  generous  amount  of  30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the top and
bottom  of  the  stabilizer  mounting  area  and  to
the  stabilizer  mounting  platform  sides  in  the
fuselage.  Slide  the  stabilizer  in  place  and

re-align. Double check all of your measurements

one more time before the epoxy cures. Remove
any excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol and hold the stabilizer in place with T-pins
or masking tape.

Glue with epoxy

Remove the covering

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking  tape  or  T-pins  used  to  hold  the
stabilizer in place and carefully inspect the glue
joints.  Use  more  epoxy  to  fill  in  any  gaps  that
were  not  filled  previously  and  clean  up  the
excess using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

INSTALLING the VERTICAL STABILIZER

1. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering on

the top of the fuselage for the vertical stabilizer.

BOOMERANG 60

Instruction Manual

2. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the

mounting platform in the top of the fuselage.
Mark the shape of the fuselage on the left and
right sides of the vertical stabilizer using a
felt-tip pen.

Remove the covering

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY

1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into

the  receiver.  You  may  want  to  plug  an  aileron
extension into the receiver to make plugging in
the  aileron  servo  lead  easier  when  you  are
installing  the  wing.  Plug  the  battery  pack  lead
into the switch.

2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the

protective foam to protect them from vibration.
Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the
foam in place.

3. Strap the battery pack and receiver onto the

wing joiner tube in the fuselage.

Do not permanently secure the receiver and

battery until after balancing the model.

4. Using a 2mm drill bit, drill a hole through the

side of the fuselage, near the receiver, for the
antenna to exit.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH

1. The switch should be mounted on the fuselage

side,  opposite  the  muffler,  close  enough  to  the
receiver  so  the  lead  will  reach.  Use  the  face
plate  of  the  switch  cut  out  and  locate  the
mounting holes.

2. Cut out the switch hole using a modeling knife.

Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two
mounting holes through the fuselage side.

3. Secure the switch in place using the two

machine screws provided with the radio system.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane.

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is heavy

nose.  To  correct  this  first  move  the  battery
pack  further  back  in  the  fuselage.  If  this  is  not
possible  or  does  not  correct  it,  stick  small
amounts  of  lead  weight  on  the  fuselage  under
the  horizontal  stabilizer.  If  the  tail  of  the  plane
falls,  the  plane  is  tail  heavy.  To  correct  this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is  not  possible,  stick  weight  into  the  firewall.
When  balanced  correctly,  the  airplane  should
sit  level  or  slightly  nose  down  when  you  lift  it
up with your fingers.

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

100mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 100mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

95-100mm

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G.

You should laterally balance it. Doing this will
help the airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop

of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and
one to the tail wheel wire. With the wings level,
carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may
require two people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier

than  the  opposite. Add  small  amounts  of  lead
weight  to  the  bottom  side  of  the  lighter  wing
half's  wing  tip.  Follow  this  procedure  until  the
wing stays level when you lift the airplane.

BOOMERANG 60

Instruction Manual

3. Now, remove the vertical stabilizer and using a

modeling  knife,  carefully  cut  just  inside  the
marked lines and remove the film on both sides
of the vertical stabilizer. Just as you did with the
horizontal  stabilizer,  make  sure  you  only  press
hard  enough  to  cut  the  film,  not  the  balsa
vertical stabilizer.

4. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.

5. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly,  mix  up  a  generous  amount  of  30
minute  epoxy. Apply  a  thin  layer  to  the  slot  in
the  mounting  platform  and  to  the  vertical
stabilizer  mounting  area.  Apply  epoxy  to  the
lower  rudder  hinge.  Set  the  stabilizer  in  place
and  re-align.  Double  check  all  of  your
measurements  once  more  before  the  epoxy
cures.  Remove  any  excess  epoxy  using  a
paper  towel  and  rubbing  alcohol  and  hold  the
stabilizer  in  place  with T-pins  or  masking  tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

INSTALLING the LANDING GEAR

1. Locate the two main landing gear wires, one

nose  gear  wire,  four  nylon  mounting  straps
eight  3*12mm  Phillips  head  sheet  metal
screws,  three  wheels,  six  wheel  collars  w/set
screws,  and  one  nylon  steering  arm  with  set
screw.

Wheel

Collar

2. Test fit the two main gear wires into the

channels. When satisfied with the fit, secure
the wires in place.

3. Install two of the wheels onto the axles using

the four wheel collars and set screws provided.
The  wheels  should  be  centered  on  the  axles
with a wheel collar on each side, holding them
in  place. Tighten  the  set  screws  on  the  collars
to  secure  them  in  place.The  wheels  should
rotate  freely. You  should  apply  a  small  drop  of
lock-Tite  thread  lock  to  each  set  screw  to
prevent them from coming loose.

4. Remove the hatch cover from the bottom front

of  the  fuselage.  Working  with  the  preinstalled
nylon steering housing, position it so the end of
it  is  flush  with  the  front  of  the  firewall.  When
satisfied  with  the  fit,  glue  the  housing  to  the
firewall from the inside of the fuselage using 5
Minute Epoxy.

5. The preinstalled wire steering pushrod has a

factory  made  Z-Bend  on  the  front  end  of  it.
Connect  the  nylon  steering  arm  to  this
pushrod.  The  pushrod  should  be  installed  in
the outermost hole in the steering arm.

INSTALLING THE ENGINE

1. Locate the long piece of wire used for the throttle

pushrod.  One  end  of  the  wire  has  been
pre-bend in to a "Z" bend at the factory. This "Z"
bend should be inserted into the throttle arm of
the engine when the engine is fitted onto     the
engine  mount.  Fit  the  engine  to  the  engine
mount using the screws provided.

6. Locate the nose gear wire. Slide the nose gear

wire  up  through  the  lower  portion  of  the  nose
gear  block,  then  through  the  nylon  steering
arm, then through the upper portion of the nose
gear  block.  The  top  of  the  nose  gear  wire
should  be  flush  with  the  top  of  the  nose  gear
bracket.

7. With the nose gear wire straight, angle the

nylon steering arm about 300 forward of the
fire-wall and tighten the set screw. Angling the
arm forward like this will allow room for the arm
to move back for more adequate steering.

8. Install the remaining wheel onto the axle using

the two wheel collars and set screws provided.
The wheel should be centered on the axle with
a wheel collar on each side, holding it in place.
Tighten the set screws on the collars to secure
them  in  place.  The  wheel  should  rotate  freely.
You  should  apply  a  small  drop  of  Lock_tite
thread  lock  to  each  set  screw  to  prevent  them
from coming loose.

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY

1. The stopper has been pre-assembled at the

factory.

2. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon

fuel  line  (the  length  of  silicon  fuel  line  is
calculated  by  how  the  weighted  clunk  should
rest about 8mm away from the rear of the tank
and  move  freely  inside  the  tank).  Connect  one
end  of  the  line  to  the  weighted  clunk  and  the
other  end  to  the  nylon  pick  up  tube  in  the
stopper.

3. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45

degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.

4. Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a 45

degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve.

When the stopper assembly is installed in the

tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top surface of the tank. It should not
touch the top of the tank.

SUGGESTION

To  avoid  scratching    your  new  airplane,  do  not
unwrap  the  pieces  until  they  are  needed  for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown  paper,  both  to  protect  the  aircraft  and  to
protect  the  table.  Keep  a  couple  of  jars  or  bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE:

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly
before gluing! This will assure proper assembly. The
BOOMERANG  60  is  hand  made  from  natural
materials,  every  plane  is  unique  and  minor
adjustments  may  have  to  be  made.  However,  you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do
not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION:

• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

Draw a center line

3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its

slot. Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is
square and centered to the fuselage by taking
measurements, but don't glue anything yet.

4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,

mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and
bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /
non-permanent felt-tip pen.
