PRE-ASSEMBLY NOTES

1.This manual is for 3D Profile EP series including
Expo 3D, G202 and Christen Eagle. The photos
shown in the assembly steps may not show all three
kinds of plane as they are in the same manner of
assembly. If you encounter any assembly question,
you may contact Thunder Tiger author ized
distributors or write email to Thunder Tiger directly
for tech support.
2.These 3D profile EP are for experienced R/C pilot
orientated and not for novice or entry level pilot. If
you are not an experienced pilot, please get a fully
competent pilot to help you to learn. This will avoid
potential damage of your model as this series are
made of PSP board which is easily broken if heavy
landing or crash.
3.Please assemble your model exactly according to
the instruction. Do not attempt to modify or change
in any way as doing so may adversely change its
flying characteristics.
4.Before you begin please check the entire contents of
this kit against the part drawing to be sure that no
parts are missing or damaged. This will also help
you to become familiar with each component of your
plane. If you find any of parts are either missing or
damaged. Please contact your dealer immediately
for replacement.
Note: Your dealer cannot accept kits for return if

Lipoly Battery:
Suggest to use
Quality 2~3-cell Lipoly battery
instead of any other NiCd or
NiMH batter y pack.
advantage of Lipoly battery is
much lighter than the traditional
Nicd or NiMH battery pack of the
same capacity. Thunder Tiger
provide high performance Ace
Power Lipoly Battery which is at
true discharge rate at 13C that
most 3D pilots are looking for. The 2-cell Li-Poly
battery is for normal flight yet 3-cell is good for 3D
aerobatics.
Lipoly Charger:
You will need a performance Lipoly
battery charger to charge your Lipoly battery either at
flying field or home. Always pay high attention when
you're charging the Lipoly battery. Get a charger with
alarm system and computerized charger with LCD
screen that shows charging status. This will help you
monitor the battery easily and safely.
Extension Wire:
wire for aileron servo.
MOTOR CARE
The included Super 370 motor is designed for 2~3-
cells use yet we recommend you break-in the motor
properly to extend the life of the motor. The following
are some tricks :
1. Drop some oil on both bushing at the end caps of motor.
2. Break-in the motor for couple minutes at about 4.8 V
without loading.
3. Apply oil after every 5 flights for best performance.
4. Do not fly continuously without letting motor have
chance to cool down. This will hurt motor badly. Make
sure motor is cool before you perform next flight.
5. Motor Heat Sink will help cooling and you can get this
heat sink at any hobby shop.
OBL:
Thunder Tiger OBL outrunner
brushless motor 29 series is
available for upgraded power. For
