During assembly of this aircraft, you will be asked to use sharp knives and hobby adhesives. Please
follow all safety procedures recommended by the manufacturers of the products you use, and always
follow these important guidelines:
•
ALWAYS protect your eyes when working with adhesives, knives, or tools, especially power tools. Safety
glasses are the best way to protect your eyes.
•
ALWAYS protect your body, especially your hands and fingers when using adhesives, knives, or tools,
especially power tools. Do not cut toward exposed skin with hobby knives. Do not place hobby knives on
tables or benches where they can roll off or be knocked off.
•
ALWAYS have a first-aid kit handy when working with adhesives, knives, or tools, especially power tools.
•
ALWAYS keep hobby equipment and supplies out of the reach of children.
•
IMPORTANT NOTE – We strive to provide the absolute best-quality ARF aircraft on the planet. However,
the ultimate success or failure of this aircraft is dependent upon proper assembly by you. If you have
questions about an assembly step, please contact us, or read the assembly thread for your airplane on
RCGroups.com before proceeding. It is always better to slow down and be sure of your assembly than to
rush through it and make a mistake which can cause a crash.
•
SAFETY NOTICE: This is NOT a toy! It is a very high-performance RC airplane capable of high speeds
and extreme maneuvers. It should only be operated by a competent pilot in a safe area with proper
supervision.

ONLY fly your aircraft in a safe, open area, away from spectators and vehicles–and where it is legal to fly.
•
NEVER fly over an unsafe area, such as a road or street.
•
NEVER fly near overhead power or utility lines. If your airplane ever becomes stuck in a line or a tree DO
NOT attempt to retrieve it yourself. Contact the authorities for assistance in retrieving your aircraft.
Power lines are DANGEROUS and falls from ladders and trees CAN KILL!
•
Never fly too close to yourself or spectators. Spinning propellers are DANGEROUS!
•
Never run your motor inside a house or building with the propeller attached – Remove the prop for safety.
•
Always fly within your control.

Page 2: Required Items
REQUIRED ITEMS • CA Glue – Thin and Medium • Welders Contact Adhesive • Hobby Knife • Small Phillips Screwdriver • Set Metric Allen Wrenches • Scissors • Small Pliers • Masking tape Assembly Instructions – Read completely before starting assembly! UNPACK Unpack your airplane and examine the components. - Page 3 Install aileron control horns with either medium CA or Welders adhesive. Opening of the slot in the plywood stiffener may be required to insert the control horn. Assemble the ailerons onto the wings, flex them up and down to check for free motion, and drip thin CA glue onto each hinge.
- Page 4 Servo connectors are installed onto servo arms as shown. Drill the holes in your servo arms to the right size to allow the connectors to easily spin on the servo arm. Attach with the nut, but do not tighten all the way, the connector must remain able to twist on the servo arm.
- Page 5 On to the fuselage, remove the elevator from the horizontal stabilizer. Insert the elevator in the slot for the horizontal stabilizer. You will find it is easier if the elevator is upside down and backwards as shown. The elevator can then be turned over once installed in the slot. Locate the carbon wing spar tube and insert it into the fuselage.
- Page 6 Apply thin CA glue to the joint of the horizontal stabilizer and fuselage. Allow the thin CA to wick into the joint. Install the elevator control horn the same as the aileron control horns. Insert elevator back into the horizontal stabilizer and glue the hinges using the same technique as the aileron hinges. Tape the elevator as show to keep the the elevator from moving will the CA dries.
- Page 7 Next, position the rudder as shown to locate the hinges in the vertical stabilizer. Mark their location. With a sharp knife, open up a slot for the rudder hinges in the vertical stabilizer. Dry fit the rudder hinges in to the vertical stabilizer. Glue the rudder control horn in place.
- Page 8 Locate the tailwheel assembly and the plywood bracket. Glue the tailwheel wire into the tube imbedded in the front of the rudder. Slide the rudder hinges into slots you previously opened with a hobby knife in the vertical stabilizer. The rudder hinges may be glued with the same technique as the elevator.
- Page 9 Next, install the rudder and elevator servos. Using string and a weight will help fish the servo extensions through the fuselage. Connect the push rods using the same system as the ailerons.
- Page 10 Next, mount the motor and ESC. If using the recommended Omega 130g motor, the firewall is pre-drilled for the motor's X-mount. It is a bit of a challenge getting the provided metal wood screws past the magnetic motor. Tacking the screw to the screwdriver with glue is one suggestion.
- Page 11 Also, install a length of Velcro for the battery. Mount the receiver and route all servo wires.
- Page 12 Onto the landing gear assembly. Mount the wheels and wheel pants as shown. While the wheels are held on with wheel collars, the wheel pants are glued to the wire with either Welders adhesive or medium CA. The small rectangles of thin EPP are to reinforce the inside of the wheel pant where the axle exits.
- Page 13 The wheel pants can also be made stronger with a small bead of Welders on the bottom. Attach the gear legs with either Welders or medium CA. Once the glue has dried on the landing gear assembly, insert the landing gear into the fuselage. Apply either Welders or medium CA to the plywood insert and press into the landing gear block.
- Page 14 The wings are held on with the provided rubber bands wrapped 2-3 times around the wing hooks. Plug your servos and ESC into your receiver, attach your battery and test your radio system. Check for correct motor running direction now, before your prop is installed. Never run your motor inside a building with the prop installed.
