E-flite Diamante 5e ARF Assembly Manual
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the E-flite ® Diamante 25e ARF.
The Diamante 25e was designed by champion pilot Peter
Goldsmith to provide intermediate to experienced pilots a
precision aerobatics platform that is excellently balanced
stability and has benign stall characteristics. At the heart of this
design is the SD8020 airfoil that provides excellent tracking
and crisp response in any axis. It is also extremely resistant
to accelerated stalls so you’ll feel like you’re on rails in any
attitude. Construction is balsa and light ply with a custom Peter
Goldsmith UltraCote ® trim scheme. The fiberglass cowl and
wheel pants come painted from the factory. You will find two
sets of mounting holes on the firewall to mount your choice of
either the Power 25 or 32 Outrunner motors. The Power 32 is
recommended if you wish to fly aggressive artistic aerobatics
along with sport and precision flying. The Power 25 is ideal for
sport aerobatics.
This model was purposely designed for electric power
application from the ground up. The flight characteristics of this
design are such that it will reach a large cross section of skills.
Whether you are just learning to explore the aerobatic realm,
or a more experienced pilot, the Diamante 25e will touch
your skills with a low level of intimidation. The Diamante 25e
was designed to be a straightforward, pure flying aerobatic
performer. Much attention was spent developing the flight forces
in all 3 axes ensuring minimum coupling, meaning a lower
workload for the pilot.
Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next
to each step to keep track of each step completed. Steps with
a single circle (

) are performed once, while steps with two
circles (
 
) indicate that the step will require repeating, such
as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
