Apply the Decals
❏
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals
from the sheet.
❏
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fingerprints
and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with a mixture
of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one teaspoon of
soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in the soap and
water and peel off the paper backing. Note: Even though the
decals have a "sticky-back" and are not the water transfer type,
submersing them in soap & water allows accurate positioning
and reduces air bubbles underneath.
❏
3. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
❏
4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to squeegee
remaining water from under the decal. Apply the rest of the
decals the same way.
❏
5. Use the templates in the back of this manual to make
outlines for the passenger and cargo hatch doors.

Check the Control Directions
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos
and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the
screws that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram.
If any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use
the servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.

Set the Control Throws
Use a Great Planes AccuThrow, a ruler, or an inclinometer
to accurately measure and set the control throw of each
control surface as indicated in the chart that follows. While
more control throw is possible and may seem necessary,
this model reacts well to very little throw. For this particular
airplane, we recommend using the high rate rudder only on
the ground when taxiing. Switch to low rate rudder before
initiating your takeoff roll. NOTE: The throws are measured
at the widest part of the elevators, rudder and ailerons.
These are the recommended control surface throws:
