Building Instructions for the Predator Gas eCCPM helicopter kits.
Congratulations on your purchase of Century Helicopter Product's newest RC helicopter model.
The Predator Gas eCCPM is an excellent addition to Century's Predator model helicopter line.
The two stroke gasoline Predator is well suited for all flying levels and lowers fuel costs while
extending into markets where the glow engines cannot compete. Compared to other 60 class
models, pilots will be elated to find the Predator Gas is easy to build. This kit will exceed your
expectations for precision control at an affordable price.
In order to take advantage of the Predator's performance capabilities we recommend using a high
quality computer radio system with 120 degree eCCPM mixing. The radio system should have
at least 8 channels to use modern heading lock gyros and throttle governors. The radio should
also have a minimum of 5 programmable points on both throttle and pitch curves. Servos used
should be a matched set of 3 for the collective system, be of quality coreless, ball bearing and
having a minimum torque rating of 70 oz/in. The tail rotor servo should have a servo speed of
0.11sec/60 degrees or better.
This radio controlled model is not a toy! It is a precision machine requiring proper assembly
and setup to avoid accidents. It is the responsibility of the owner to operate this product in a
safe manner as it can inflict serious injury otherwise. It is recommended that if you are in doubt
of your abilities, seek assistance from experienced radio control modelers and associations. As
manufacturer, we assume no liability for the use of this product.
Upon opening the kit, all the major component parts are bagged by relationship to the different
sections of the helicopter. Various assemblies have been pre-assembled only requiring the final
assembly. The particular parts, screws and nuts required for each step are packaged in the same
bag as the parts. Be careful when opening each bag as not to lose any hardware. As a reminder,
all metal to metal screw assemblies require L242 Blue thread lock compound, all metal to plastic
screw assemblies require slow setting cyanoacrylate adhesive (Slow CA) and all bearing race to
metal shafts should use L262 Red threadlock compound.
Care has been taken in filling and packing of each bag however mistakes do happen, if there is
a parts shortage or missing hardware please contact us at:
