V2 version. The Flycat V2 has been updated with a new 12-blade 70mm fan unit driven by a powerful 2860-2100KV inrunner motor, dual rudders for added control and agility, a set of pre-installed electronic retracts, and a brand new high-viz color scheme.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY Please note: Before you glue together any parts that have paint on the joints, rough them up first with sandpaper to achieve a better bond. 1. Using a slow cure CA or a similar apply the glue to the area of the fuselage where one of the plywood wing retaining tongues is located.

3. Repeat this process with the other 3 plywood tongues. 4. Glue into place the 4 foam in-fills on top of the plywood tongues.

9. The elevator & rudder servo extension leads are already installed in the tailboom. Connect these to the leads in the fuselage slot and press into place, secure with either a drop of glue, or some colored tape. 10. Apply some slow cure CA into the slot for the horizontal stabilizer to be glued into.

11. Fit the horizontal stabilizer into the slot in the vertical stabilizer and allow the glue to set. Please ensure the assembly stays square as the glue sets. 12. Feed the elevator servo lead into the slot in the vertical stabilizer and connect in to the socket in the cut-out as shown.

13. Apply CA glue to the recess in the cut-out and glue into place the triangular cover supplied. 14. At this point, follow the steps of gluing in place the first tailboom and glue into place the second one, including gluing in the horizontal stabilizer.

16. Slide the wing spar into the pre-installed tube in the fuselage wing root. 17. Then slide the entire wing into the wing root until it is fully seated and the holes line up with those in the plywood tongues.

18. Screw the supplied PK screws through the plastic wing fixings and into the plywood tongues. 19. Repeat this entire process to fit the other wing. 20. Install your chosen receiver in the recess at the rear of the battery compartment, and then install your 6S battery as shown.
SETTING THE ESC The Flycat V2 is fitted with the Aerostar 80A RVS G2 instant reversing electronic speed controller. Setting the reverse on the ESC would be ideal if you are flying from a hard surface to shorten the landing run.
Once you have your Flycat V2 flying well it will perform as if it is on rails, it's fast, smooth and manoeuvrable. You will be able to fly all the usual jet like aerobatics with ease and it looks really great in the sky.
