Secure the wings :
Fit the wing joiner tube through the fuselage.
Install the left and right booms .
Take care to put it at the center (same lenght left and
right ).
Install the left and right wings.
A plywood reinforcement is located between the fiber
tube and the wing skin to drill the hole to secure the
wings.
You can see it from the flap servo hole or from the
wing root (if it is open). It is located at 23 cm from the
wing root under the wing
Make a 2.5 mm hole at 230 mm from the wing root throught the wing and aluminium tube to secure
the wings
Threated the wing tube and wing at M3 mm and secure wings with a M3x30 screw
You can also secure the tube in the fuselage.
Make a 2.8 mm hole in the center of the fuselage from
the gear door. Drill the hole throught the plywood frame
and aluminium tube to secure the tube.
Screw a 3 x 16 mm parker screw through the plywood
and aluminium tube, so the tube will not move during
assembling and desassembling.
If you don’t secure the tube in fuslage, write with a pen
on the tube the fuselage location for an easier
assembling and to find the hole to secure the wings
Secure the horizontal stabilisator :
Install the stab between the 2 booms.
Secure the stab with 4 x M6x40 nylon screws

Fuel tank
Connect the fuel tank to the clunk as the photo.
Check that there is no leak before to fit it in
fuselage.
Drill a 3 mm hole in the bottom of the fuselage for
the fuel vent
The fuel tank is connected to UAT catch tank
(optionnal) to be sure that there is no bubble in the
fuel line.
The tubing from the main tank to the catch tank and to the catch
tank to the fuel pump must be gasoline tubing (no silicone
tubing). Also for the air vent tube.
The catch tank is glue with double face tape on the bottom of
the fuselage close to the main tank or with rubber band to the
main tank.
Hold the fuel tank with rubber bands or silicon glue
Filling the fuel tanks :
You have to disconnect the tubing between the fuel pump and
the catch tank.
Connect your pump and fill the system in direction of the tank. It will
first fill the catch tank and
after the main tank. The main
tank will be full when fuel
come from the air vent tube.
Do not close the air vent tube
after.
Connect back the fuel pump
with the catch tank. The
system is ready for starting.
Fuel vent

Engine installation :
The engine must be screw with 4 times 3x20 mm parker screw to the rear position.
A plywood reinforcement is already glued inside the fuselage
Make all necessary hole in the fuselage for electric wire and fuel tubing in front of the engine
ECU installation :
Fit the ECU in one side of the plane.
Fit the fuel pump and valves just rear to the ECU and hold them with T rap.

Radio installation :
Fit the radio in the nose section with batterie.
Adjust batterie position to have to correct CG position.
Don’t put the received and aerial antenae too close the the ECU
Retract valve and brake valve can be fitted as the pics

Center of gravity
You normally need 2 x 1700 Mah battery + ECU battery to have a correct Centre of Gravity.
For heavy engine like AMT Pegasus, about 500 grammes of lead will be necessary in the nose.

Note : balance the model with the gear down and the tanks empty.
The center of gravity (CG) must be located at 156mm rear of the wing leading edge (wing root)
You must check it before the first flight, to do this with the aircraft in flight condition but without
fuel lift the aircraft in this point, the aircraft must adopt a slightly nose down attitude. If it is
horizontal or the tail drops move the baterie forward or add weight in the nose.
In other hand if the nose drops considerably add weight in the tail.
Total weight
The total weight of the Angel is 14 kg tanks empty.
Important note : Pay very careful attention to structural integrity. This jet can reach speeds of
over 400 KPH - 250 MPH. It is your responsibility to operate it safely.
