SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel
or brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the
bag.
NOTE:
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have
the correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The STREGA ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are
fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant of many
harsh chemicals including the following: paint
thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder
and acetone. Do not let these chemicals come in
contact with the colors on the covering and the
plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
• This is not a toy
• Be sure no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose wires and clothing away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
WING ASSEMBLY
• (2) Wing halves with ailerons.
• (1) Hardwood dihedral brace.
• (2) Trim Tape.
• (4) Block of wood : 20mm x 25mm.
• (8) Screw 2mm x 12mm.
INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS
1. Install the rubber grommets and brass eyelets
onto the aileron servo.
2. Turn the wing panel right side up. Using a
modeling knife, remove the covering from over
the precut servo lead exit hole in the root rib and
the top of the wing sheeting. This hole will allow
the servo leads to pass through when the wing
halves are joined.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering from
over the pre-cut servo arm exit hole on the servo
tray/hatch. This hole will allow the servo arm to
pass through when installing the aileron pushrod.
4. Using medium C.A Glue, glue two blocks of
wood onto the servo tray. Use your servo to
space the blocks properly. Position the blocks
so that the servo arm exits the center of the slot
in the servo tray.
