Kit Contents: Below is a basic rendition of the contents of the kit, your will have more hardware as the pushrods would Not be installed at the factory and would be installed by the customer...

Use 6.0v MAX CAUTION: When setting up and connecting the servos on your T-45 for the first time, be careful not to have the Speed Brakes and the Flaps Binding or Reversed one example is to have the model resting on a table and connecting power to the servos and have the Flap or Speed Be sure to check the FLAP, Brakes in the Open position.

Nose section: There are four servo leads coming out of the nose section, make sure you pass them through to the fuselage. Please note that some of the cables come with two wires and some with three wires and you will have to match up the power wires when connecting them together. There is a matching set of four servo cables under the canopy in their own wire bundle, find those to connect with the cables in the nose section The four servo leads: 1.

Bring the nose section to the fuselage and Join the two using the 4x50 bolts. Insert them from the fuselage into the nose section. You might find it easier in you remove the main receiver tray, in this example the tray is just unbolted it and turned vertical...

Fuel Tanks: The Main Fuel tank is 1600cc / 54 Ounces; two of them are include. If you have enough channels on your radio and you would also like to install a Smoke pump, the top fuel tank position can be made to fit a 1600cc tank or a combination of Fuel and Smoke as desired.

With the main tank and lines removed, it will look like the image below. This will work properly, but as stated above, this it not the best practice for better reliability.
Page 9
Now with best practices for Turbine operations, barbs installed on all the fuel lines and then safety wire to hold the lines in place. Fuel Tank Tip. If you can’t see the vent line and want to see how close it is to the top of the tank, place a flashlight behind it and look though the opposite end.

Below left is the picture of the stock bottom location. The picture on the right is how I was able to remove the tank through the rear where the Turbine access hatch is located, you will need to remove the mail fuel tank retainer / stopper brace. The main tank is held in place with a wood stopper, assemble the three pieces of wood and secure them with CyA to hold your main tank in place.

ELEVATOR: The T-45 uses a Single 45g servo for elevator. The servo is located in the tail on the left side of the elevator. The actual elevator rod is a push pull, meaning it has two control arms. There are two Phillips screws on the cover to gain access to the servo.
Page 12
Elevator Travel Rates are as follows: low rate 19mm / .75 inch Mid 23mm / .90 inch High 26mm / 1.02inch. Vertical Fin / Rudder: The Vertical fin and rudder are installed on the T-45 by first inserting the carbon spar into the fuselage. The simply match slot in the rudder to the...

Ailerons: The Ailerons and corresponding servo are already installed on the T-45 you will have to install the control rod. You want the servo to provide the best resolution, torque and mechanical advantage. You do not want to limit the travel adjust / limit if you have to lower the travel adjust to get the required throws, you are not getting the max torque possible from each servo.
Page 14
Flaps: The Flaps and corresponding servo are already installed on the T-45 you will have to install the control rod.. Install the control rod on the second hole from the top of the servo arm and also on the second hole of the control horn on the actual Flap for better mechanical leverage.
Page 15
The servos are covers are glued and you would have to pry them out, I have removed them here to show you how they are installed at the factory. The leading edge flap or slat deflection is about .75 inch or 19mm Max deployment. You want to make sure both are as close as possible to each other on both wings.

Turbine Installation: If you purchased one of our ACEx80 Turbines, then you will see that the mounting holes have already been drilled on the wood Turbine mounts and there is no other guesswork to be done. This will also insure the you have a gap of 1 inch to 1.5 inches from the rear tail cone of the Turbine to the start of the actual pipe.
Page 17
This view of the Turbine installation is to show the Turbine to Tailpipe gap is measured, we check it between the rear of the Turbine and the actual start of the tailpipe NOT the bellmouth of the tailpipe. So, you want Smoke? Sold Separately, we also offer a couple of different kits for a Smoke system that can be purchased as a complete kit or in parts to piece your own system.
Page 18
Installation of your smoke pump can be done, at your discretion / choice. My turbine fuel pump is in front of the main tank, under the receiver tray, my smoke pump is located in the engine compartment next to the Turbine as shown below. Your Smoke tube can be place right behind the turbine, or behind the exhaust pipe.

CG: The CG of your T-45 is 178 MM / 7 inches from the leading edge of the wing at the Fuselage. This is basically measured where the wing meets the fuselage. If you are checking the CG manually, the Wheels will always have to be down and you must have the AUT full of fuel, but no fuel in the main tanks.

The Retract and Brake controller continue to evolve, so we are not going to spend too much time on them. They both come installed for you. IF YOU UNPLUG anything, make sure to label it, so you know where you unplugged it from. There is NO wiring diagram.
Page 21
Once you are comfortable with your T-45, you can experiment with the T-45 CG to suit your flying skills. order to fly the T-45 in a scale manner, we required to use only 50% to 60% power out of the 80n Turbine.

US DEALER: GLOBAL JET CLUB Contact: Mike Lin or Carrie Lau globaljetclub@gmail.com/ carrielau.jet@gmail.com AEROJET AG63 GYRO ASSISTED BRAKE MODULE Usage: RC JETS with front steering wheel and electromagnetic brakes. EDF or Turbine Powered.
Page 23
Overview: The AG63 Gyro Brake Controller is designed for planes equipped with tricycle landing gear and electromagnetic brakes . The gyro stabilizes the steering and modulates both left and right brake controls digitally so that the plane would track straight during taxi, takeoff or landing. The antilock and slip control prevents uneven braking and keeps plane straight.

LED Indicator: Red and Blue Lights at the same Initialization time flashing quickly Steering wheel input signal at neutral point, no Blue Light Is On steering operation Steering wheel input signal is not at neutral, there Blue Light Double Flash is steering input detected The fuselage is not level lifted or turned over 40 Blue Light Short Flash...
Page 25
How To Install: AG63 gyro assisted brake system can be installed in many directions, Using a double-sided adhesive tape to secure it reliably on an airplane. There are four arrows on the unit for installation direction plus it can also be installed upside-down. The main take-away, is that like any other gyro, it must be in a fixed position so it does NOT move once it has been setup / configured.
Page 26
Notes: If you are not going to use the brake function, do not plug anything into the brake control input and brake power on the gyro. You must ensure that the left and right wheel electromagnetic brake lines are connected to the correct side on the gyro if you are using the brake function. When you lift, flip or tilt your model aircraft more than 40 degree, the gyroscope will stop working after two seconds, allowing you to observe the position of the front steering wheel.
