Page 4: Required To Complete Model
REQUIRED TO COMPLETE MODEL: In its "Plug N Fly" format the Spitfire Mk5 will still require some additional electronic components to get it "flight ready". Avios recommends the following products for optimum performance and great value. All these items are available at HobbyKing.com . - Page 5 ASSEMBLY 1. Out of the box your Spitfire comes with a reinforced foam hinge for the elevator. However before assmbly can begin, the hinge line must be flexed back and forth 5-6 times to reduce the tension and the load on the servo. 2.
- Page 6 3. Insert the rudder and connect the rudder LED connector to the fuselage extension lead. Then pull the extension lead from the battery hatch end gently until it stops, then snap the rudder hinge halves to the fuselage hinge halves. The bottom hinge is the key to secure the rudder into place, please check to make sure that the rudder can move freely with no catching or resistance.
- Page 7 5. Using a small amount of the supplied contact glue, secure the under wing radiators, the servo covers(check the fit first, then glue into place), the cannon magazine blisters (use the 2 small holes to center) and the pitot tube. Insert the 2 main wing spars into one wing half. 6.
- Page 8 8. We recommend you seal the slot between the wing panels using the supplied plastic strips. If your choice is the ETO, then you can glue the air scoop on, if you have the Desert version please glue the two pieces of the volks filter in to place (be sure not to glue the rear and the front filter part together), then secure the cowl using (2.3x10) screw.
- Page 9 Optional FPV Version: 1. Install the FPV gear by sliding and opening the canopy rearward, then disassemble the head rest, Glue the FPV gear as far rearward as possible, it is also best to remove the wind shield to reduce the distortion of the camera image. 2.

Page 10: Setting Up Your Model
SETTING UP YOUR MODEL: 1.With your receiver installed and the servos plugged into their correct channels you can connect the flight battery to the ESC and power up the electronics. Once the model is armed ensure all the servos are centered correctly and all control surfaces are neutral. If not then adjust the push rod lengths until the control surface is neutral. - Page 11 30-40mm 30-40mm 80-95mm 10-15mm 10-15mm • Elevator: "Low Rates" 10mm "High Rates" 20mm each direction from neutral. • Rudder: "Low Rates" 30mm "High Rates" 40mm each direction from neutral. • Ailerons: "Low Rates" 10mm "High Rates" 15mm each direction from neutral.

Page 13: Model Flying Precautions
MODEL FLYING PRECAUTIONS • Select your flying area carefully. Always choose an open space that is clear of trees and buildings and is away from crowded area's. Avoid flying near roads, electric/telephone poles and wires, water or close to a full size active airfield. - Page 14 FLYING YOUR SPITFIRE Before flying make sure you have followed closely the set-up guidelines on pages 6 to 9. Start by taxying around a little to get used to the ground handling. Always make sure you use full up elevator when taxying to avoid nosing over and to keep pressure on the tailwheel, keep the flaps up and use the throttle gently.
- Page 15 SPITFIRE TIPS • For optimum flight performance and model longevity we recommend that you always fly with a balanced propeller. The supplied propeller should be balanced but it is always good practice to check this. • Keep all leads within the fuselage area as tidy as possible. A tidy wiring set-up looks better, allows for easier access to all the internal components, better battery installation, increased airflow around the electronic components and also reduces the potential electronic signal interference (noise).

Page 18: Decal Application Guidelines
DECAL APPLICATION GUIDELINES... - Page 19 household Your Spitfire comes with some stickers already applied out of the box. Keep in mind that this model has travelled a long way and has experienced many temperature changes. These occasionally causes the edges of the pre-applied stickers to lift. Use an iron in the same way as you did on the main decals you have applied and this will seal down the decal once more.

Page 20: Decal Tips
DECAL TIPS • Rub the clear front film before you remove the decal from the paper backing to ensure it lifts fully from the backing. • Remove the clear fronting by pulling it gently of to one side once the decal has been applied. DO NOT pull this clear film directly upwards as this could cause the decal to tear.
