- Page 5 CONSTRUCTION Fuselage : We recommand to let the fuselage in 2 parts for transportation. All plywood reinforcement are already glued and hole drill in the front and rear fuselage. You' ll just have to screw the 2 parts together with 4 x M3x16 mm diameter screws + blind nuts. Don' t forget to check the 4 screws before to fly ..
- Page 6 Front gear door cylinder: Screw a ball link on the 1" air cylinder. Screw the air cylinder on the plywood frame. Screw the ball of the ball link on the rear door hinge Connect the link to the ball link and check that the door closes perfectly : the door is open when the cylinder is fully extended and the door is closed when the air cylinder is retracted.
- Page 7 Main gear door : Cut the 2 main gear doors according to the engraved panel lines. Glue the 4 flat hinges with cyano (take care of the position according to the photo). For this operation in order to avoid glue to “harden” the hinges put a small drop of oil in the pivot point.
- Page 8 Air brake (optionnal): Cut the air brake according to the engraved panel lines. Drill a hole in the air brake for the piano wire Screw the 2 aluminium link to the 2 air cylinder Connect the link to the air brake Fit the piano wire in the control horn of the air brake Fit the air brake in position...

Page 9: Fin Installation
(optionnal): FRONT GUN Cut the openning for the 4 gun according to the engraved panel lines. Glue the 4 resin gun inside the fuselage with CA FIN INSTALLATION : Fit the fin on the fuselage Drill a 2.5 mm hole through the fin tube, the 12 mm tube and the plywwod frame Insert a 3 mm screw to lock the fin. - Page 10 You have 2 bearings per stabs with aluminium mounting. First check that all mounting are perfectly screwed to the plywood and that the bearings are glued in the mounting If not, just glue the bearing in the aluminium block with threadlock. Stabs installation Important : the 2 stabs MUST be balanced You will have to drill a hole in the stab root and glue some lest in...
- Page 11 Wings : Aileron servo : Increase the hole for the servo location in the wings with a permagrit rotating tool for the aileron Screw the servo in the servo cover (you can also glue it with silicon glue for more security) Put in place the servo cover on the wings Drill 4 x 1 mm hole in the wings for the...
- Page 12 Screw the servo on the plywood block Cut a slot in the control surface for the fiber control horn Glue with fast epoxy the control horn Connect two 3 mm link with M3 threaded rod Connect the servo with the control horn Apply thread lock.

Page 13: Main Landing Gear
MAIN LANDING GEAR : Make a hole for gear and oleo location in the wings with a permagrit rotating tool (see photo) according to the engraved panel lines. Insert the retracts on the plywood mount. Fit the oleo legs in the retracts. Check that the 2 wheels are parallel. -
Page 14: Wheels And Brakes
The main air bottle and brake bottle will be mounted in the back of the front fuselage with double face tape Wheels and brakes Glue the 6 mm diameter screws with threadlock in the legs Connect the system according to the manual. Do not remove the O ring inthe brake drum Separate rubber tires and O ring are available in spare parts. - Page 15 The ECU and the AMT Batterie are put just rear of the canopy. With this configuration, the F100 don' t need any ballast to balance the model. Balance the model with the gear down and the fuel tanks empty. Kevlar Fuel Tanks : You will now have to install the fuel tanks in the fuselage.
- Page 16 Connect all tubing as the following drawing. This fuel tank is connected to a small catch tank (200 cc) to be sure that there is no bubble in the fuel line. The tubing from the main tanks to the catch tank and to the catch tank to the fuel pump must be gasoline tubing (no silicone tubing).

Page 17: Exhaust Nozzle
Exhaust nozzle The exhaust nozzle can be screw (3 parker screws) on the fuselage It can also be glued with silicone glue to the end of the fuselage. Inlet ducting Now the inlet ducting can be glued in the fuselage Take care to sand carefully the front fuselage and the front of the ducting. - Page 18 CANOPY Cut all glass panel according to the engraved panel lines with fine diamond disc. Paint now the canopy frame (inside). Adjust the canopy in the canopy frame. The canopy must overlap the frame from few mm. Hold the canopy in position using some tape. Glue the canopy inside the frame with ZAP canopy glue.
- Page 19 Cockpit detail kit : The first step is to assemble the ejector seat : Cut the vacuum part as shown Glue with CA the vacuum part and the 2 plastic parts according to the pics. Fit the pilot on ejector seat.
- Page 20 The third step is to fit all the part in the cockpit Fit the ejector seat in the ABS vacuum part. Fit the pilot and instrument panel. You should have to heat the pilot (with a air gun heater) to fit it in the cockpit with the good angle and to slide the instrument panel between its legs.
- Page 21 FINISHING TIPS Decals (optionnal) : Fit the water decals on the plane Refuelling probe (optionnal) : Glue under the wing the refuelling probe mounting Glue all aluminium tubings with CA according to the plan Pitot probe (optionnal) Glue all aluminium tubings with CA according to the plan Underwing fuel tank (optionnal) Cut the fin as the pics Glue all the fin with CA...
