VMAR
Manufacturing is committed to delivering superior value to
the RC modeller. Your new VMAR Challenger 40ARF
Trainer is a market leader in features, value, ease of use
and flexibility. Please review these instructions before
beginning the simple assembly procedure.
We’ve used metric measurements throughout these
instructions. We know that some of you like metric while
others think that furlongs per fortnight makes a nifty
velocity indicator. If you are in the furlongs camp, bear
with us… it’s not a big deal… 3 millimetres is stated as 3
mm and 3 mm is about 1/8 of an inch. Fire up your
confuser and you’ll find that 25.4 mm makes an inch. In
most cases we have listed both metric and imperial with the
imperial measurement in inches in brackets ( ).
Whenever we’ve used the directional terms left or right,
they are with respect to the Challenger when viewed as
you would from sitting in the cockpit... that is when viewed
from the back looking forward.
The Challenger 40 ARF Trainer from VMAR Manufacturing
carries on the VMAR tradition of offering beginners an easy
to fly, easy to assemble and top value 40 size ARF Trainer.
Simply put, the Challenger is the best quality, best value,
easiest to fly ARF trainer available anywhere! Nothing can
even come close to the Challenger for value!
Fantastic quality, outstanding graphic scheme and details,
unbeatable value, knock ‘em dead looks, more features and
a price you just cannot beat!
Your instructor will likely be looking for quality clevises on
your control surfaces. Most ARF’s use factory grade
clevises that leave you somewhat wanting in the confidence
department. Guess what? The Challenger uses VMAR metal
pin clevises on all control surfaces! You won’t be throwing
our clevises in file 13... you’ll be flyin ‘em with confidence in
your Challenger!
We’ve coupled those VMAR metal pin clevises to super strong
steel push rods that run in plastic tube guides all the way from
the tail to the radio compartment! Connections between the
threaded control rods and the servo arms are done with
custom VMAR metal pin clevises that have been designed to
accommodate the high angular rotation of the servo arms.
Nothing but nothing is going to break, bend, fail or otherwise
cause you grief between your servo’s and the tail feathers of
your Challenger! We've also included a servo tray. Not only
do we provide a servo tray but it is the best most universally
adjustable tray available anywhere. Once you see how our
servo tray works, you’ll be trying to buy ‘em as a part!
