TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED

• Medium C/A glue
• 30 minute epoxy
• 6 minute epoxy
• Hand or electric drill
• Assorted drill bits
• Modeling knife
• Straight edge ruler

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:

1.  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 Super Constellation 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.

2.  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.

3.  The Super Constellation will perform 3-D 

aerobatics easily if you use the largest 
engines recommended within the engine 
range. If you setup your airplane to do 3D 
maneuvers, you will need to be throttle 
conscious; that is, never apply full throttle on 
straight and level flying or in dives to prevent 
flutter.

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.

PREPARATIONS

Remove the tape and separate the ailerons 
from the wing and the elevators from the stab. 
Use a covering iron with a covering sock on 
high heat to tighten the covering if necessary. 
Apply pressure over sheeted areas to 
thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.

•  Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not 

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

•  Make engine adjustments from behind the propeller 

only. Do not reach around the spinning propeller.

• 2 bender plier
• Wire cutters
• Masking tape
• Thread lock
• Paper towels
• Rubbing alcohol

3.  Place the servo into the servo tray. Center the 

servo within the tray and drill 1,6mm pilot holes 
through the block of wood for each of the four 
mounting screws provided with the servo.

Remove the covering

INSTALLING THE AILERON and flap SERVOS

1.  Install the rubber grommets and brass eyelets 

onto the aileron servo.

2. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering 

from over the pre-cut servo arm exit hole on the 
aileron servo tray / hatch. This hole will allow 
the servo arm to pass through when installing 
the  aileron pushrods.
