Toavoidscratching yournew airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old
towel or brown paper, both to protect the
aircraftandtoprotect the table. Keep a couple
of jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts
after you open the bag.
Pleasetrialfitalltheparts. Makesureyouhave
the correct parts and that they fit and are
alignedproperly before gluing!Thiswillassure
proper assembly. CAP 232 ARFis hand made
from natural materials, every plane is unique
andminoradjustmentsmayhavetobemade.
However, you should find the fit superior and
assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit
are fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant
of many harsh chemicals including the
following: paint thinner, C/A glue accelerator,
C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do not let
these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

Caution: this model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered
model,pleaseaskan experienced model flyer
forhelpand support. If you attempt to operate
themodelwithoutknowingwhatyouaredoing
you could easily injure yourself or somebody
else. Please keep your safety and well-being
in mind at all times.
Important: before you start construction
Evenif you have alreadybuilt a large number
ofRCmodels please read rightthroughthese
instructionsand check all thekit components
against the parts list. We have taken great
trouble to keep construction as simple as
possible, without making any compromises
in the area of safety.
Note regarding the film covering
Minorcreases or bubblesmay develop in the
film covering due to major fluctuations in
weather conditions (temperature, humidity
etc.);in rare cases you may even find aslight
warp in a component. These minor faults are
in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden
structures,and can easilybe corrected using
aheat gun, as commonlyused for modelling.
Creases: Blowwarmair over the area
and rub down with a soft
cloth.
Wing warp: Hold the panel twisted
gently in the opposite
direction to the warp, and
apply warm air to remove
the creases from the
covering.
Caution! do not heat the film more than is
absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron is
too hot, the film may melt and holes may be
formed.
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can
bebuilt in a veryshorttime.However,the work
which you have to carry out is important and
must be done carefully. The model will only
be strong and fly well if you complete your
tasks competently - so please work slowly
and accurately.
When self-tapping screws have to be
screwed into wood, apply a little white
glue to prevent them shaking loose: just
squirt white glue into the hole and fit the
screw.
+ This is not a toy
+ Be sure that no other flyers are using your
radiofrequency.
+ Do not smoke near fuel
+ Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
+ Wear safety glasses.

+ Do not start the engine if people are near.
Do not stand in line with the side of the
propeller.
+ Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the

15. Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using
amodeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.
16.When satisfied with thealignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper
expands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtightenthe assembly as thiscouldcause
the tank to split.
17. Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of
fuelline150mm long. Connect 2 linestothe 2
venttubes and 1 lineto the fuel pickuptube in
the stopper.
18. Feed three lines through the fuel tank
compartmentand through the pre-drilled hole
in the firewall. Pull the lines out from behind
the engine, while guiding the fuel tank into
place. Push the fuel tank as far forward as
possible,the front ofthetankshouldjust about
touch the back of the firewall.

Do not secure the tank into place perma-
nently until after balancing the airplane.
You may need to remove the tank to mount
the battery in the fuel tank compartment.
Blow through one of the lines to ensure
the fuel lines have not become kinked inside
the fuel tank compartment. Air should flow
througheasily.
19. To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a
bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of
thetank, where it exits the fuselagebehindthe

14. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines
you just drew as a guide, carefully remove
the covering from between them using a

When cutting through the covering to
remove it, cut with only enough pressure
to only cut through the covering it’s self.
Cutting into the balsa structure may
weaken it. This could lead to possible fail-
ure during flight
15. When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
topandbottomofthestabilizermountingarea
and to the stabilizer mounting platform sides
in the fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your meas-
urements one more time before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
