Introduction; Additional Parts Needed - Hangar 9 VRTF Easy 2 Instruction Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Hangar 9's Easy 2 ™ , the first in Hangar 9's VRTF ™ series of airplanes.
VRTF, Virtually Ready-to-Fly, is a concept that Hangar 9 pioneered. Unlike standard ARF (Almost Ready-to-Fly)
airplanes that typically take up to 20 hours to build, the Easy 2 can be assembled in just two easy hours.
Furthermore, the Easy 2 doesn't require glue, and only one tool is needed for the complete assembly
process—and that tool, a Phillips screwdriver, is even included.
For first-time fliers, the Easy 2 is the perfect trainer with positive self-righting flight characteristics and
exceptional slow flight performance. More experienced flyers will find the Easy 2 to be a quick way to get in the
air fast with a high-quality, all-wood UltraCote ™ covered airplane that even the most discriminating pilot would
be proud to show off.
The Easy 2 includes both a written instruction manual and a Real-Time ™ instruction video. If feasible, we highly
recommend using the video instructions and keeping the written instructions handy for reference or for
clarifying any questions you may have regarding any of the assembly steps.
While the Easy 2 can easily be built in two hours using the video instructions, there's certainly no rush. If you'd
prefer to spend a couple of evenings assembling a stage, or perhaps doing two stages per night, please feel
free to do so. On the average for most, the actual assembly time using the video instructions takes just under
two hours, while assembling using only the written instructions may take slightly longer.
There is a glossary located at the back of this manual should you encounter any unfamiliar terms.
Additional Parts Needed to Assemble the Easy 2:
• .40 – .46 2-cycle engine with muffler
• 4-channel or greater radio system with four standard servos (JR F400 with four 507 servos recommended)
• Aileron extension (Part JRPA112)
Helpful Additional Items (Optional):

Additional Items Needed to Get the Easy 2 in the Air:
