Congratulations on your choice of the FunJet vector control
unit from Multiplex. This supplementary system expands the
aerobatic potential of your FunJet, enabling you to fly former-
ly unimaginable manoeuvres such as knife-edge passes, flat
spins, hovering and torque-rolls. The vector control unit can be
installed on any existing FunJet model in a matter of minutes.
However, we do recommend its use primarily for the FunJet 1
(with tip-tanks) and the FunJet 2, since these models con-
sist of lighter foam, allowing a lower all-up weight; this in turn
produces better flying characteristics with the vector control
unit. As a basic rule, the lower the FunJet’s flying weight, the better its flying qualities with the vector control unit. If you
wish to exploit the full potential of the vector control unit we
also recommend the use of the Multiplex Wingstabi
#55010 or
Wingstabi Easy Control #1-00858 stabilising systems.
These instructions are intended only as a supplement to the
standard FunJet building instructions. All the steps in const-
ruction which are not mentioned here are described in full in
the main kit instructions.
Use a sharp knife to cut through the fuselage turtle deck at
an angle of 45° at a point 7 cm from the tail end
Fig. 01 , so
that the front part can be used as a hatch cover. The rear part
of the turtle deck can now be glued to the FunJet; the front
part should not be glued. Cut two slots at the front end of the
fuselage turtle deck, and glue the two Canopy Lock loops
⓯
in them Fig. 02 . Cut a pair of matching slots in the fusela-
ge to accept the Canopy Lock latches
⓮
, and glue them in
place

If you intend using a 3S / 1800 mAh battery, glue the battery
plate in the FunJet as far forward as you can; you may need to
remove a little Elapor to do this. If you wish to use a different
size of battery, check the Centre of Gravity first, then glue the
battery plate in the appropriate position
Fig. 04 .
If you are using a Wingstabi stabilising system, connect the
elevon pushrods to the second hole from the inside of the ser-
vo output arms, and the innermost hole of the elevon horns;
note that you may need to remove a little Elapor in order to
obtain larger elevon travels. If you intend to use the vector
control unit without a stabilising system, or with a Wingstabi
Easy Control, install the elevon linkages as described in the
standard FunJet building instructions.
Pierce three 5 mm Ø holes in the underside of the fuselage
just forward of the motor cylinder, to allow the motor wires to
be routed inside the fuselage
