The EPP eagle is a graceful bird and truly a
pleasure to behold. People could even mistake it
for a real eagle at a distance – until you pull off
some loops and aileron rolls. The EPP eagle can
be a docile soaring bird or fully aerobatic
predator! It comes with 4 servos so you can
choose to set it up as a v-tail configuration, or
you can cut ailerons into the wings and install
the additional servos to make a 4 channel setup.
Our EPP Eagle comes as an ARF kit with servos,
leads, ESC, Motor, Propeller and connectors. All
you need to supply is your receiver and battery.

- Page 2 Two pieces of strengthening wood are provided to be glued inside the beak area at the front. Glue the glass fibre wing supports in place and insert the two rods for attaching the rubber bands. The image below shows how the bottom panel is attached. Glue it in place with both the sides.
- Page 3 Glue the two motor mount boards together leaving an even gap around the edges. Then mark out and drill your motor mount holes. Trim the part of the bottom sheet that overlaps to make it level with the sides. Glue in your motor mount. The U shaped hole for the wires goes to the bottom and the recess around the motor mount goes to the front to fit neatly with the two pieces of board already attached to the inside of the fuselage.
- Page 4 Glue on the tail piece and the tray to hold the servos. See the section at the end of this document for various servo mounting arrangements. Put tail support on without gluing it and mark out the edges as a guide for when attaching tail. Glue both tail surfaces to the tail mounting piece.
- Page 5 Next, attach the control horns for the elevrons. Tighten the knuckle joint nut up just enough to hold it firm and still allow it to turn freely. With this done apply some araldite to the nut to stop it coming loose. Using the guide marks which you drew previously, glue the tail into position The pushrods are mounted through the holes in the side of the fuselage.
- Page 6 Mount the motor and connect up the ESC. Then glue on the front cover. The best place to position the ESC is in this front compartment under the cooling gaps. Attach the Velcro to the bottom of the plane as well as to the bottom of the battery. Space them out so you have an option to move the battery back and forward to get the CoG correct.
- Page 7 Add some glue into the carbon rod hole to hold it in place after it is inserted. Insert the carbon rods and glue in place. Add glue to the wing ends and bring them together. Add the strengtheners to the top of the wing.
- Page 8 Glue on the wing tips. (black wingtip version shown here). Use a black felt pen to colour in glue. Trim the wingtips underneath to make them flush with the lower surface of the wing. Finished product shown (white wingtip version shown on right). Building is complete.
- Page 9 Use the copper wire pushrods for the ailerons. Servo holes in the wings are large enough to allow servos to be mounted either way. Check the direction of travel of your servos and adjust as needed before gluing the servos in. Cover the servos with black electrical tape or clear Blenderm tape.
- Page 10 Run the ESC battery plug wired over the top of this shaft to keep the ESC in position in the front compartment. Setting up your electronics. This will depend on how you want to fly your bird. We’ve included all the components you may possibly need such as servo Y splitter leads , servo reverser and v-tail mixer.
- Page 11 Set V-Tail mixing to be active Set rudder to be reversed Setup 2 V-Tail set up for dual elevator control – ailerons separate (Programmable Transmitter not required) For this setup you will use the supplied servo reverser and a Y splitter cable. In this configuration both the servos mounted inside the body will be working in unison as elevator servos.
- Page 12 Setup 3 V-tail controlled with rudder and aileron sticks (Programmable Transmitter not required) This setup is used when you want to fly the plane using a V-Tail setup but instead of turning with the rudder, you use the aileron stick to turn. So the two tail surfaces mix the aileron and elevator inputs from the transmitter. You can’t use ailerons in the wings when you have the plane set up in this configuration.
- Page 13 Attach and tighten the prop saver to the motor shaft and attach the propeller as shown here with the retaining o- ring. Congratulations, you’re ready to fly! RCFoamFly – www.rcfoamfly.com ©All rights reserved – For personal use only. No unauthorised copying or distributing.
