Repeat on the left side. Tighten the setscrews on the connectors, remove the 
clamps holding the rudders, and then check for proper throw direction and travel. 
These rudders are very effective so not much travel is needed.

 
168.

 
Because you will be connecting three different plugs whenever you mount the 
wing, it’s a good idea to use small tape labels on the mating pairs for easy 
identification. Color electricians tape works great for this purpose.

 

Decal Application

 
The decals supplied with your Do 217 kit are high quality Mylar® with an extremely aggressive adhesive. These are not 
die cut and must be removed from the sheet using a hobby knife and/or a sharp #11 blade or a sharp pair of scissors. We 
suggest the following method to accurately apply the larger decals in this kit. 

Carefully cut out the decal and lift it off the sheet with tweezers.  

Use a product like SIG Pure Magic Model Airplane Cleaner or Windex® to spray the area of the model that will 
receive the decal. Then spray the adhesive side of the decal as well.  

Lightly position the decal in place on the model. The liquid cleaner allows the decal to slide easily into the desired 
position as long as you don't press down on it.  

Once you have it in position, hold the decal lightly in place with your fingertips and use a paper towel to gently dab 
away the excess liquid.  

Use a small squeegee to now set the decal in place, removing all excess liquid and any trapped air bubbles from 
beneath the decal. The SIG 4" Epoxy Spreader (SIGSH678) is ideal for the job.  

Remove any excess fluid with a paper towel and allow the decals to set overnight. They will be solidly adhered to 
the model without any air bubbles. 

 

Option Safety Tip

 
For safety and convenience we like to install a master switch in the battery harness between the drive batteries and the 
ESC's. This must be accessible from the outside of the airplane to be effective.

 

Control Throws

 
Mount the wing to the fuselage with all connectors plugged into the receiver and 
battery harness. Check to make sure all wiring is inside the fuselage and not 
caught between the wing and fuselage saddle. Install the battery pack in it’s 
compartment in the nose and turn the system on and verify that everything 
moves the proper direction and the control throws are within the suggested 
range.

 

Ailerons 3/8" (9.5mm) Up and Down

Elevator 1/4" (6.4mm) Up and Down

Rudders 1/4" (6.4mm) Left and Right

 

Center Of Gravity

 
With the wing installed and the battery in place, the center of gravity should be checked and adjusted as required. The 
airplane should balance 2-3/4" to 3" (70 to 76.2mm) behind the leading edge of the wing at the root.

 
 

FLYING

 
The SIG Do 217 is actually quite easy to fly, provided you've had previous experience and success in flying R/C models in 
the past. This model is not recommended as an R/C trainer. If this is your first R/C model aircraft, we urge you to seek out 
and use an experienced R/C pilot to pre-flight, test fly, and flight-trim the model for you. The Do 217 is very stable and 
provides excellent control response. If your model was built without landing gear, you will, of course, have to hand-launch 
it. The very best conditions for your first test flights would be with no wind, such as in the morning or evening. Not having 
to deal with windy conditions allows you to properly observe and trim your model without undue influence from winds. 
Properly powered, the Do 217 is certainly capable of flying in moderate winds without issue. But for the first trim flights of 
this or any model, we always suggest choosing a day with little or no wind.
