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.
• 2 bender plier.
• Wire cutters.

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:

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
Ka-8b  ELECTRIC  6000 ARF  1/2.5  SCALE  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.

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.

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.
• 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.

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.

INSTALLING THE AILERONS

1. Test fit the ailerons to the wing with the hinges.

If the hinges don’t remain centered, stick a pin
through the middle of the hinge to hold it in
position.

2. Apply six drops of thin CA to the top and bottom

of each hinge. Do not use CA accelerator. After
the CA has fully hardened, test the hinges by
pulling on the aileron.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL HORNS

1. One aileron control horn in positioned on each

aileron. Remove the covering from the aileron
and secure it.

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 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.

6. Repeat step # 2 - # 5 to install the second

aileron servo in the opposite wing half.

5. Place the aileron servo tray / hatch into the

servo  box  on  the  bottom  of  the  wing  and  drill
1,6mm  pilot  holes  through  the  tray  and  the
servo box for each of the four mounting screws.
Secure  the  servo  tray  in  place  using  the
mounting screws provided ( 2mm x 12mm ).

4. Using the thread as a guide and using masking

tape,  tape  the  servo  lead  to  the  end  of  the
thread: carefully pull the thread out. When you
have  pulled  the  servo  lead  out,  remove  the
masking  tape  and  the  servo  lead  from  the
thread.

INSTALLING THE AILERON LINKAGES

The aileron linkages are assembled as shown

below.

M3 nut

1. Plug the aileron servo into the receiver and

center the servo. Install the servo arm onto the
servo. The servo arm should be perpendicular
to the servo and point toward the middle of the
wing.

2. Center the aileron and hold it in place using a

couple of pieces of masking tape. Adjust the
linkage until the aileron and the servo arm are
both centered and then tighten the nut against
the clevis. Install the plastic linkball to the servo
arm. Remember use thread locking compound
to secure.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

150mm  BACK  FROM  THE  LEADING  EDGE
OF  THE  WING,  AT  THE  FUSELAGE.  This
location  is  recommended  for  initial  test  flying
and  trimming.  BALANCE  A  PLANE  UPSIDE
DOWN WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 150mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane.

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy.  To  correct  this  first  move  the  battery
pack  further  back  in  the  fuselage.  If  this  is  not
possible  or  does  not  correct  it,  stick  small
amounts  of  lead  weight  on  the  fuselage  under
the  horizontal  stabilizer.  If  the  tail  of  the  plane
falls,  the  plane  is  tail  heavy.  To  correct  this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is  not  possible,  stick  weight  into  the  firewall.
When  balanced  correctly,  the  airplane  should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it up
with your fingers.

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G.

You should laterally balance it. Doing this will
help the airplane track straighter.

5. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop

of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and
one to the tail wheel wire. With the wings level,
carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may
require two people to make it easier.

6. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier

than  the  opposite. Add  small  amounts  of  lead
weight  to  the  bottom  side  of  the  lighter  wing
half's  wing  tip.  Follow  this  procedure  until  the
wing stays level when you lift the airplane.

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane.
4. Check the control surface.
5. Check the receiver antenna. It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

Aileron : 15mm up

15mm down

Elevator : 15mm up 15mm down
Rudder : 45mm right 45mm left

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES

When ready to fly, first extend the

transmitter aerial.

Operate the control sticks on the

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions.

ALWAYS land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver.

ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage.

If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY

1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into

the  receiver.  You  may  want  to  plug  an  aileron
extension into the receiver to make plugging in
the  aileron  servo  lead  easier  when  you  are
installing  the  wing.  Plug  the  battery  pack  lead
into the switch.

2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the

protective foam to protect them from vibration.
Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the
foam in place.
