You must take time to build straight, true and strong. It is your responsibility to ensure the air worthiness of this product.
  • Page 6 Wing and Rudder Assembly NOTE: The ailerons can also be used as flaperons. We will refer to them as ailerons during the assembly process. Use sandpaper to clean up the 3 horns and rough up the gluing area near the base. ...
  • Page 7 Use thin CA to carefully glue each hinge from each side of the wing. Make sure the glue wicks into  the slot. Use a tissue to blot away any excess glue. After about 10 minutes re-apply a small amount of thin CA to each hinge and blot away any excess. ...
  • Page 8 Assemble three linkages as shown. Jam nuts are provided for the clevises. Use blue thread lock on all  metal to metal threaded joints to make them secure and to prevent play and thread wear over time. Fit the servo to the servo hatch as shown noting the slot orientation above and just below. Use the ...

  • Page 9: Landing Gear

    Connect a 600mm (24”) extension to the Rudder servo and run it through the tube in the fuselage. It  will soon be plugged into the Aura or receiver as configured. Tip: Use dental floss with several knots to secure the servo lead to the extension. Repeat steps 10 to 12 to install the Rudder linkage, noting the servo/hatch orientation.
  • Page 10 Plug the sequencer can directly into your receivers Channel 5 port.  Program the transmitter’s channel 5 to a 2-position switch, and set the travel to about 110% to make  sure it passes the switching threshold (you can reverse later based on your preference). With the receiver bound and functioning and the transmitter On, apply the Rx power.

  • Page 11: Equipment Installation

    Equipment Installation: Mount the retract sequencer with 2 sided tape or hook and loop tape. The location above the right air  intake is recommended. Mount the receiver and antenna’s according to your manufacturer’s recommendations. We suggest  mounting the receiver with hook and loop tape. This will allow access later for installing additional items. Temporarily install the removeable battery tray to aid in locating equipment.

  • Page 12: Install The Elevator Servos

    If you are using and Aura 8 AFCS, mount it now using the included mounting tape. Never use hook and  loop to mount a gyro system. It is not stable enough. The fixed platform at the back of the battery tray is the recommended location.
  • Page 13 Install the Stabs and Elevator Linkages A servo arm hole of not longer than 15mm radius should be used. Install the linkages onto the servo  arms. Center the servos and install the servo arm. (Do not install the arm center screws yet, as you can ...
  • Page 14 TIP: You can install the stab arm and ‘rotate’ the parts to the most vertical position possible while the glue cures. After the epoxy is cured, install the stab to the fuselage using the circular shims as before.  Use a toothpick to place three tiny drops of epoxy about the side of the head of a pin equally spaced ...
  • Page 15 Prepare and install the ESC 1. Check the length of the ESC wire and make sure the length can reach from the ESC location to the fan location. Adjust as needed. 2. Install the proper plug-in connectors between the ESC and the Motor. Flex used 4mm bullets on the motor side on the prototypes, the JP supplied bullets are also good.
  • Page 16 7. Glue the ESC Mount to the bottom of the battery tray. 8. Double-check that the wiring is sufficient to reach the Fan/Motor. Note that the V-Good 120A ESC is small and can temporarily pass back through the former temporarily for wire connection. 9.
  • Page 17 Install the Aft Duct through the very back of the fuselage. Sleeve the Aft Duct to the forward duct.  (final parts may vary slightly from photo) Fit and install the fan with (2) 3mm x 12mm SHCS with 3mm washers. (Extra holes are provided to aid ...
  • Page 18 11. We recommend gluing two-sided hook and loop strap to the mount as shown. Then apply thick two-sided foam tape to the mount. 12. Attach the ESC to the mount/tape and secure with the hook and loop strap. 13. Bolt the battery tray into the model with (4) 3mm x 12mm SHCS and (4) 3mm washers. Install the Tailpipe Re-install the fan’s center body fairing (Some users prefer to save the weight and run without it.) ...

  • Page 19: Attach The Wings

    Remove the temporary masking tap and adjust the tailpipe fore and aft until it is flush with the tail-  cone aft edge. Secure the tailpipe to the fan unit with quality vinyl tape. Install the Ventral Fins and Fan Hatch Test fit the ventral fins on the aircraft using the fixture parts provided.
  • Page 20 Center of Gravity and Receiver Battery Install The CG is located 105mm aft of the front corner of the wing. You can apply a piece of masking tape to  the model and mark it on both sides of the fuselage for the balancing process. After first flights, pilots can adjust the CG fore and aft up to 6mm per their preference.

  • Page 21: Apply Decals

    Place your receiver battery a bit forward and check the CG of your model. (In our models the Rx  battery was placed most of the way forward and hung finally on the ‘bottom’ side of the mount.) You can tune the location of your motor and receiver batteries to obtain convenient and adjustable ...
