ZERO FIGHTER.
Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the
Zero fighter
ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The
Zero fighter
was
designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a semi scale airplane which is
easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood and
veneer to make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept
light. You will find that most of the work has been done for you already. The pushrods are pre-made
to the correct lengths, the motor mount has been fitted and the hinges are pre-installed and pinned
for security. Flying the
Zero fighter
is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your
Zero fighter
. Use the parts listing below to
identify all parts.
WARNING
Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is
capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU

If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier
