Page 2: Required To Complete
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Xcalibur+ Jet. This high performance model is ideal for use as a first jet or as a sports jet model. Before you build the model, please read the instructions the whole way through to understand the construction sequence. - Page 3 Step 1 Check the fit of the aileron to the wing panel. If there is any misalignment the holes in the trailing edge of the wing can be slotted as required for the hinges. Step 2 Run glue into the holes in the trailing edge of the wing panel and onto the exposed hinges, then fit the aileron to the wing panel.
- Page 4 Step 6 Hinge the elevator to the tailplane in the same way as the ailerons were fitted to the wing panels. Step 7 Install the first elevator servo onto the mounting plate in the same way as was done with the aileron servo, then feed the servo lead through the servo lead tube built-in to the tailplane.
- Page 5 Step 11 Fit the rudders to the tail booms, installing the hinges in a similar manner to that illustrated for the elevator, note that the rudders are handed and have hard points for the control horns on the inboard sides, and the rudder servos are consequently fitted on the inboard sides of the booms Step 12...
- Page 6 Step 16 Test fit the main undercarrage and pre-drill the mounting holes. Use a felt tip pen to mark the sides of the recess where the air line holes are needed. Step 17 Test fit the nose undercarriage and pre-drill the mounting holes.
- Page 7 Step 21 Fit the nose retract, having previously connected the air lines, and run these back into the main equipment bay. Step 22 Install the main retracts, legs and wheels as shown, running the retract and brake airlines into the fuselage.
- Page 8 Step 30 Holes need to be drilled in the retract bay for the steering cables to run into the fuselage. Attach the closed loop cables to the nose leg and crimp firmly to secure. Step 31 Fit the clevises and closed loop adapters to the centred servo arm and attach the closed loop cables to the adapters, crimping securely.
- Page 9 Step 35 Prepare the fuel system for the tank as shown – it is strongly recommended that all fuel lines are safety wired to all tubes/fittings to eliminate any leakage or possibility of the fuel lines becoming detached. Note the use of a felt clunk to eliminate any air bubbles being passed through to the turbine.
- Page 10 Step 40 Install the receiver on the right hand equipment plate using double sided tape and neaten the wiring using cable ties. Step 41 Install the switch and regulator/power system (if used) in front of the receiver, ensuring easy access to the switch when the canopy is removed.

Page 11: Control Throws
Control Throws Use the following control throws as a starting point, when you have experience and are comfortable with the model then you can increase or decrease them to suit your flying style. Aileron: 20mm each way at the tip of aileron, with 40% exponential Elevator: 27mm each way at tip of elevator, with... -
Page 12: Flying Notes
Balancing the Xcalibur+ The balance point of the Xcalibur+ is 195mm back from the leading edge at the root of the wing panels, this should be measured with the undercarriage extended and with any header tank (if used) full. 195mm Flying Notes We recommend the use of a long runway for first flights, particularly if this is the first jet model you have flown. - Page 13 should be required during the early stages of the take off run unless taking off cross wind, and once at flying speed a small amount of up elevator is all that is required to allow the model to lift off, whereupon we suggest that the landing gear can be retracted and the model allowed to climb to circuit height.

rate of the model, this will reduce the likelihood of the model ending up too low and too slow on final approach, with power coming on too late to arrest the descent and resulting in an off runway landing. Due to the relatively light wing loading of the Xcalibur+ and the clean design it is a pleasure to fly through most aerobatics, and rolls, loops, spins etc are all easily performed, as can be slow flight, particularly as the tank empties and the model weight reduces. - Page 15 Page 15...
