PRE-ASSEMBLY
INTRODUCTION
1. The Fun Tigers are designed for the experi-
enced R/C pilot. If you do not yet have the skills
to fly this outrageously maneuverable machine,
set it aside until you have progressed through
the trainer and intermediate stages of R/C flight;
you will then be ready for this plane.
2. Please assemble your model according to
these instructions. Do not attempt to modify or
change in any way as doing so may adversely
change its flying characteristics.
3. Before you begin, please check the entire
contents of this kit against the parts list and
drawings to make 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 that any of the parts are either missing
or damaged, please contact your dealer imme-
diately for replacement.
Note: Your dealer cannot accept kits for
return if construction has begun.
Note: Each step of these instructions is pre-
ceded by a box which can be checked off as you
complete the step. This will allow you to follow
your progress and quickly find your starting
place after any interruptions or breaks.
The following instruction manual
depicts the Fun Tiger Extra. If you are
building the Fun Tiger G-200, it builds
exactly the same; just disregard the dif-
ferences in the color scheme.
PRE-ASSEMBLY-Fuselage
1
Using a sharp modeling knife, cut away the
covering film from both the wing joiner slot and
the 1/4"D alignment hole in the wing area on
both sides of the fuselage.
2
Also cut away the film at the rear of the fuse-
lage where the stab slot is. Notice that this
reveals the balsa tail post between the flaired
part of the stab slot. Use a razor saw or repeat-
edly cut with a hobby knife to remove the tail
post in this area.
3
Locate the full size drill template. Cut away
the paper where indicated. Locate it on the left
side of the fuselage and tape in place. Using a
center punch or an awl, mark and drill four 5/32"
holes for mounting the landing gear then mark
and drill three 5/64" holes for the tank mounting
wires. Be careful to keep the drill perpendicular
to the fuselage.
4/5
Position your engine in the cut-out area in the
front of the fuselage so the spinner will clear the
nose by about 1/8". Firmly holding the engine in
place, mark the four engine mounting hole loca-
tions.
Drill four 5/32" holes where marked,
being careful to keep the drill perpendicular to
the fuselage.
Using medium CA glue or epoxy, coat the
exposed wood in the fuselage's engine slot for
fuel proofing.
