100n of thrust, it is setup to be an ideal jet trainer BUT with a 220-250n turbine you have the ultimate 3d jet!! This will let you into a totally different flying experience!! Krill Avanti S jet 2.1m ARF Assembly manual. Specification: setup range of installation: Wingspan:…2.1m...

Wing Assembly (Aileron servo JR ds8411.) (note Aileron horn is 5mm back from wing skin, set Aileron rod length and horn position with zero aileron deflection). Aileron linkage length is 110mm from ball to servo horn.

Wing Assembly (Flap servo JR ds8411. horn and rod position) (Note Flap horn is 10mm from flap hinge line). Flap rod length is 80mm long from ball to servo horn.

Wing Assembly (door/leg and front dowel modification ) Door assembly After fitting the retract into the pre-moulded cut outs in the wing. Make sure the leg retracts with room to spar and is not touching wheel well skin. Now it is time to slide the top door fixing though the leg when it is removed. Refit leg to the retract and align the wheel parallel to the wing root face.

Wing assembly (wires and air tubing) Front dowel modification After fitting and fixing the wing half’s to the Fuselage. You may find there is some rear movement when wing is Pulled back. This can cause the flap to touch the fuselage wing face.Replacing a 6mm thread to the front dowel which is held in place with a thumb screw, will make sure that in flight.The wing will not move and lock the flap up in flight.

Tail stab Assembly Install the JR ds8411 into the stab half with the servo horn set with horn facing to the front of the tail half. Make sure you thread servo wire through the small hole before slotting in the servo. Length of the push rod in 94mm from ball to servo horn.

Rudder Assembly Rudder hinges are factory finished and require no attention but it is good practice to check glue joints and movement. First install the JR ds8511/8911 into the pre-cut hatch on the side of the fin. Servo mount is located on the top of the hatch and will be easier to install with the plane inverted.
Fuselage Assembly Front doors The front doors are ready hinged from the factory and just require a horn and servo install to complete. First select the two horns provided in the bag of horns. They require 10mm reduction to clear the nose leg upon retraction. Install the midi servos as shown in the picture above.

Fuselage Assembly (pipe fixing) (Make sure you have selected the correct pipe for your engine size) As shown below there are two types of pipes for the JetCat p100RX and the p140RX.If you are not using JetCat Turbines then you just need to look at the thrust (N) which corresponds to your engine and the JetCat turbines. p100RX =100N of thrust p140RX=140N of thrust Installing the pipe...

Elevator and Rudder extension leads After fitting the pipe it is time to start from the back of the Avanti, completing jobs through to the front. (Always use high quality extension leads to handle any power loss in the long wire) Use 3 1000mm extension lead for the elevators and rudder.

Aileron and flap wire install It is easier and safer to use PowerBox dual servo wire, multiplex leads for the wing join. As it is only one connection and makes for even quicker rigging at the field. These wires are rooted though the front half of the wing face and under the intakes and down the middle trench.
Page 13
Airlines and retract valve. Airlines are rooted through the hole behind the wheel well, and joined in the middle with t-pieces .there are many ways to install the radio and valves in jets. But we think that this way will save weight and look neater if the retract valve is placed and in the middle of the wheel wells.

Turbine mounting plates and smoke tube. Supplied in the kit are four mounting plates for your engine. These are necessary to give the mounting formers the extra strength it requires. Mounting the engine is one of the hardest jobs building the Avanti so should not be rushed.
Page 15
Turbine mounting plates and smoke tube. Epoxy mounting plates and hold in place with plates, top and bottom of the mounting formers as seen above. Now slide engine in the correct possession for your engine. Making sure the turbine is centred in all direction, mark the holes in the metal turbine mount on the plywood mounts.

U.A.T. If you are using a turbine with 140N or lower, the recommended fuel tank from krill is ideal. And offers a complete unit for fuel, smoke and air trap combined into a nice single unit that fits great in the space available.
Page 17
Radio install There are many ways to install a jet turbine. But the most important thing is the fuel lines before the pump are as short as possible. Also depending on the c of g. With these factors taken into account, here are some ideas of installation.
Page 18
Mods,extras and 3d setup Smoke tank and smoke pump. When using a single fuel cell where does the smoke pump go? There is plenty of room to fit a 40oz (1200cc) tank under the main fuel cell. You can even fit a 52oz tank in there as well.

3d vector thrust pipe and install. Vectored thrust pipes are also an option when ordering your Avanti from krill Models. (Installing the thrust pipe for vectored thrust is quite simple but you must take care with aligning the two pivots 90 degrees to the plane).
Page 20
3D vector thrust pipe servo and push rod install. To get best results from gyro assessed vectored thrust it is very important to have high speed and high power servos. As the gyro often can try and work quicker than the servo can operate.
Page 21
3D vector thrust pipe servo and push rod install. rudder vector servo install. there is not a hole for the servo to go so one needs to be cut. The ideal place is to cut a hole on the turbine mounting formers on the left hand side looking from the back of the plane.
Page 22
Vector push rod assembly Before you can bolt in the rods there is some light cutting to be done to allow for the rods to Move freely. First remove the left hand side wire tube located through the forms alongside the fuselage.

Electric retracts are great and make an easy and reliable install. Also sold by Krill Models. CM JETS supply great high flow tanks for 3d Turbine setups. Also sold in the UK just Contact BISHOP AVIATION.

Recommended cg: The recommended centre of gravity location is 250mm behind the front edge of the wing, against the fuselage.(note because of fuel tank possession the c of g changes.so it is important to setup with fuel in the tank. HOW TO SETUP CG AT THE RIGHT FUEL LEVEL.
