Assembly Manual Addendum

Thanks for your purchase of the

Aces High P-47D

ARF! Since writing the assembly

manual we've discovered a couple of key points that will enhance your enjoyment of
the model:

1.

It is highly recommended that the wing halves be glued together with epoxy once all

electronics have been installed. This will add additional strength to the wing center section

since it will be subjected to loads during landing from the retractable landing gear.

2.

Operating voltage for the retract controller is 4.8-6 volts. Exceeding this voltage may

damage the unit.

3.

To make field assembly faster and easier we highly recommend using the Extreme

Flight

multi-plugs on the wing servo/retract connections. A 2 wire plug and a 3 wire plug

are

recommended so that you can incorporate the retract connector into the 3 wire multi-plug.
When using the 3 wire plug, it is imperative that you pull back the black heat shrink

tubing

and inspect the wiring of the plug. You will notice that 2 of the wires share common

contacts on the plug, while the 3rd wire is independent. It is of utmost importance that the

connector for the retract system is plugged into the independent wire for proper operation.

Failure to do so will lead to retract mechanism failure.

4. The rudder post has been left intact for shipping purposes. You will need to remove a

portion of the post to accept the horizontal stab/elevator assembly with a razor saw. We

find it best to mark the location with two pieces of tape and then follow the tapeline with

your razor saw.
