- Page 2 E Aristocrats remain flying and are highly valued by their owners and Waco enthusiasts alike. The SIG 1/6th scale Waco SRE ARF kit is a very nice tribute to the exquisite lines and high-performance capabilities of its full-scale counterpart. Based on the full-scale NC1252W SRE, the SIG Waco shares its beautiful color scheme and undeniably Waco lines.

- Page 9 your servos, mount the servo in place. Install the opposite aileron Pushrods (2-1/2" long with a metal clevis at one end and a Z-bend servo in the same manner. Last, use a small piece of tape to at the other). Locate Bag #21 and remove four (4) Nylon Control identify the two servo leads as the aileron leads.

With the servos now moving in the adjust the clevises to neutralize the flaps at zero, or no-flap. Now correct directions and the output arms in place correctly, linkages test the flap movement with the transmitter.
- Page 11 wing panels. Use four 4-40 x 9 mm round head Allen bolts to install the four brackets, using thread-locking compound on the bolt threads. As you did when mounting the flap horns, use a #57 (.043”) dia. bit to now drill two parallel and perpendicular into the aileron at the marks just made, about 3/8”...

Allow the glue to dry. 5) The elevators are now hinged to the horizontal stabilizer, using the hinging methods described earlier for the flaps and ailerons.
- Page 14 Trial-fit the tailwheel wire into the bottom leading edge of the rudder at this time. It may be necessary to deepen the After sufficient time has passed, briskly flex the rudder left and right to free up its movement. Any excess glue can be removed with SIG Debonder.
- Page 15 11) The tailwheel mounting bracket is now mounted in place to the bottom rear of the fuselage using the three provided T2.6 x 10 mm Phillips head screws. Visually center the bracket in place and use a sharp pencil to mark the mounting hole locations onto the fuselage.
- Page 16 transmitter to correct this. Now fit the rudder output arm onto the 14) The final pull-pull rudder connections are now made at the servo, aligning it at 180 to the servo body. If it will not fit at the two rudder control horns. Use a piece of masking tape at the position, try reversing it on the output shaft.
- Page 17 NOT mount your engine on these motor mounts by drilling and tapping them for bolts or screws! These mounts should be drilled for clearance of the engine mounting bolts and the engine itself should be secured to the mount arms with bolts, washers and lock nuts.
- Page 18 3) The engine mounting bolt holes are now drilled through the then through the corresponding hole in the firewall. Engage the two mount arms. These four holes should be clearance holes for threads of the blind nut being held in place and begin threading it the bolts you intend to use.
- Page 19 down in the servo tray with its output arm facing inward towards the center of the cabin, as shown. This servo is installed into the opening that is on the same side as the carburetor throttle arm. Prepare the throttle servo by first installing the rubber grommets and eyelets into its mounting lugs.
- Page 20 servo output arm retaining screw. Install the M2 threaded clevis with its M2 x 22 mm threaded stud in place into the outermost hole in the servo output arm. Place the arm back onto the servo at the full "high" throttle position - about 45 back from center and also hold the nylon pushrod at the full "high"...

Our reason for using this part was to neatly and efficiently redirect the exhaust back to the stock muffler that we mounted into the c) Lay a ruler on the side of the fuselage, centered over the bottom center recessed opening at the nose of the fuselage.
- Page 25 c) The flex tube header can now be bent into the desired hole 1/4" away from the half circle cut out, on each side. Center configuration. This tube bends surprisingly well and will hold its these holes exactly in the center of the lite-ply and drill them both shape provided you over-bend it a little.

Note that in the case of the Saito cast As mentioned earlier, we chose to install an after-market glow aluminum muffler (described earlier), the small, machined ridge at driver system in our Waco models.

Use through the firewall to provide an opening for the glow plug the backplate provided with the switch as a cutting template for the connector wire and the ground wire.

- Page 33 Repeat this process with the remaining seven turnbuckles, cables, and swages. You should now have eight turnbuckles with the flying wires attached and locked in place. 3) All eight turnbuckles, with the flying wires attached, are now mounted to the bottom surfaces of the two top wing panels, using eight of the provided T2.6 x 8 mm PWA screws.
- Page 34 8) The top fuselage access hatch can now be reinstalled in place using the two T2.6 x 8 mm PWA screws. If your cowl is not in place on the model, reinstall it now. 9) From the kit contents, locate Bag #16, the aluminum scale spinner.
