LINKAGES
1. Working with the aileron linkage for now, thread one
nylon clevis at least 14 turns onto one of the
threaded wires.
2. Attach the clevis to the outer hole in the control horn.
3. Locate one nylon servo arm, and using wire cutters,
remove all but one of the arms. Using a 2mm drill
bit, enlarge the third hole out from the center of the
arm to accommodate the aileron pushrod wire.
4. 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.
5. Center the aileron and hold it in place using a couple
of pieces of masking tape.
6. With the aileron and aileron servo centered,
carefully place a mark on the aileron pushrod wire
where it crosses the hole in the servo arm.
7. Using pliers, carefully make a 90 degree bend
down at the mark made. Cut off the excess wire,
leaving about 6mm beyond the bend.
8. Insert the 90 degree bend down through the hole in
the servo arm. Install one nylon snap keeper over
the wire to secure it to the arm. Install the servo
arm retaining screw and remove the masking tape
from the aileron.
9. Repeat step # 4 - # 8 to install the second aileron
linkage. After both linkages are completed,
connect both of the aileron servo leads using a

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.
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 95mm
(3.7 in) BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. 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 95mm (3.7 in) back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

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.
!
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.

1. The stopper has been pre-assembled at the
factory.
2. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon
fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line is
calculated by how the weighted clunk should
rest about 5mm away from the rear of the tank
and move freely inside the tank). Connect one
end of the line to the weighted clunk and the
other end to the nylon pick up tube in the
stopper.
3. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45
degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.
4. Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a 45
degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve.
When the stopper assembly is installed in the
tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top surface of the tank. It should not
touch the top of the tank.
5. Test fit the stopper assembly into the tank. It
may be necessary to remove some of the
flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.

!
When cutting through the covering to remove it, cut
with only enough pressure to only cut through the
covering it's self. Cutting into the balsa structure
may weaken it. This could lead to possible failure
during flight.
6. When you are sure that everything is aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30 minute
epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the top and bottom of
the stabilizer mounting area and to the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Slide
the stabilizer in place and re-align. Double check
all of your measurements one more time before
the epoxy cures. Remove any excess epoxy using
a paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH
1. The switch should be mounted on the fuselage
side, opposite the muffler, close enough to the
receiver so the lead will reach. Use the face plate
of the switch cut out and locate the mounting
holes.
2. Cut out the switch hole using a modeling knife.
Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two mounting
holes through the fuselage side.
3. Secure the switch in place using the two machine
screws provided with the radio system.

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.
Do not permanently secure the receiver and battery
until after balancing the model.
