I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES
Made in Vietnam
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.

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
at
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.
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.
!
LATERAL BALANCE
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.
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 nose
heavy. 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.
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 120mm (
4.7 in) BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. BALANCE A
PLANE UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE FUEL TANK
EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of
pieces of masking tape, place them on the top
side of the wing 120mm ( 4.7 in) back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
120mm
( 4.7 in)
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.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION
1. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering
from the fuselage for the stabilizer and remove it.
2. Remove the covering from the stabilizer.
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.
3. Attach the wing to the fuselage as picture.
4. Test the position of the elevator and adjust it as
shown.
5. When you are sure that everything is aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30 minute
epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the bottom and to the
top of the stabilizer mounting area and to the
stabilizer mounting platform sides in the fuselage.
Insert 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.
6. 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.
7. Repeat step 1 - step 2 from the installing aileron for
the installing elevator.
Ensure smooth, non-binding
movement when assembling

MOUNTING THE COWL
1. Remove the muffler and needle valve assembly
from the engine. Slide the fiberglass cowl over the
engine.
2. Measure and mark the locations to be cut out for
engine head clearance, needle valve, muffler.
Remove the cowl and make these cutouts using a
rotary tool with a cutting disc and a rotary sanding
drum attachment.
3. Slide the cowl back into place. Align the front of the
cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The front of
the cowl should be positioned so the crankshaft is
in the middle of the precut opening. Hold the cowl
firmly in place using several pieces of masking
tape.
Enlarging the holes through the cowl will prevent
the fiberglass from splitting when the mounting
screws are installed.
6. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure it
in place using four screws.
7. Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and pressure
lines to the carburator, muffler and fuel filler
valve. Tighten the screws completely.
!
4. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill
four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl
and the side edges of the firewall.
5. Using a 3mm drill bit, enlarge the four holes in
the cowling.

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 5mm 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.
5. Test fit the stopper assembly into the tank. It
may be necessary to remove some of the
flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
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.
9. Secure the fuel tank.
