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
SONIC HW 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 that 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 clothing and wires 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.
INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS
1. Install the rubber grommets and brass eyelets
onto the aileron servo.
2. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo arm exit hole on the
aileron servo tray / hatch. This hole will allow
the servo arm to pass through when installing
the aileron pushrods.
3. Place the servo into the servo tray. Center the
servo within the tray and drill 1,6mm pilot holes
through the block of wood for each of the four
mounting screws provided with the servo.
4. Install the servo in the wing require the use of
one 305mm servo extension for each aileron
servo. One Y-harness connector is required
and is used to allow the aileron servo to plug
into one slot in your receiver. You may have a
computer radio that allows you to plug the
servos into separate slots and then mix them
together through the radio transmitter. If you
choose to mix them with the radio rather than
the Y-harness, refer to the instructions with
your particular brand of radio.
5. Attach the servo extension to the aileron servo.
Secure the connectors together using a large
piece of heat shrink tubing, tape or other
method for securing the connectors together.
6. Remove the covering from the bottom of the
wing and using the thread as a guide and using
masking tape, tape the servo lead to the end of
the thread: carefully pull the thread out. When
you have pulled the servo lead out, remove the
masking tape and the servo lead from the
thread.
