EXTREME 3-D ARF
Congratulations on your purchase of the Matrix 40 Extreme 3-D ARF. This is a very unique dual-
purpose aircraft, capable of flying any FAI pattern sequence with ease, while exhibiting remarkable
3-D capabilities. Every effort has been made to produce a lightweight, straight, easy to assemble
aircraft. Because of its oversize control surfaces which are double beveled to allow for extreme
throws, great care must be taken in the set-up and flying of this airplane. Quality hardware compo-
nents have been provided to allow for 3D set-up while maintaining adequate mechanical advantage
to eliminate flutter. It is you responsibility as an advanced pilot to fly the aircraft in an intelligent man-
ner. THROTTLE MANAGEMENT IS A MUST!!!!!!! Carl Goldberg Products has flown the Matrix 40
through a very rigorous flight-testing schedule and have stressed the airframe beyond all practical
parameters without a single failure. Carl Goldberg Products will NOT warrant the Matrix 40 against
flutter due to improper set-up or excessive speed maneuvers. having said that, we believe you will
find the Matrix 40 to be one of the most responsive, in-the-grove aircraft on the market. The Matrix
40 excels at high-alpha maneuvers including Harriers (both upright and inverted), high-alpha rolls,
and high-alpha knife edge. Torque rolls, waterfalls, knife edge loops and elevators are all within the
performance parameters of this unique aircraft. Just remember to use common sense when flying
this high performance machine.

  • Page 16: Decal Location

    Canopy Decal Location 1. Locate the canopy and trim to the scribe line. It is a good idea to trim about 1/8” outside the line at first and then trim to fit so as not to get it too small. Clean model surfaces thoroughly before applying decals.
  • Page 17 The Elevator This maneuver has your plane drop vertically in a nose high attitude, depending on wind condi- tions any where from a 45 degree angle in low wind to almost backwards in higher wind condi- tions. To perform it, at a high altitude with high rates on, pull your throttle back and feed in the elevator until you have the full high rate applied.
  • Page 18 The Waterfall This maneuver has your plane flipping around the axis of the wing, while dropping. Starting from a high altitude, go to low throttle and grad- ually pull the nose up to near vertical. Just when the plane is about the stall, give it full down elevator and full power.
