procedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able
to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

To avoid scratching your new 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 air-
craft and to protect the table. Keep a couple of
jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts af-
ter you open the bag.
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have
the correct parts and that they fit and are
aligned properly before gluing! This will assure
proper assembly. FIESELER Fi156C STORCH
ARF is hand made from natural materials,
every plane is unique and minor adjustments
may have to be made. 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 follow-
ing: paint thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A glue
debonder and acetone. Do not let these chemi-
cals come in contact with the colors on the
covering and the plastic parts.

FIESELER Fi156C STORCH - ITEM CODE: BH99-OR. Instruction Manual
Caution: this model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered
model, please ask an experienced model flyer
for help and support. If you attempt to operate
the model without knowing what you are doing
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
Even if you have already built a large number
of RC models please read right through these
instructions and check all the kit 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
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the
film covering due to major fluctuations in
weather conditions (temperature, humidity
etc.); in rare cases you may even find a slight
warp in a component. These minor faults are
in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden
structures, and can easily be corrected using
a heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.
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
be built in a very short time. 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
radio frequency.
+ Do not smoke near fuel
+ Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
+ Wear safety glasses.
+The glow plug clip must be securely attached
to the glow plug.
+ Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
+ Keep loose clothing and wires away from
the propeller.
+ Do not start the engine if people are near.
Do not stand in line with the side of the propel-
ler.
+ Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spin-
ning propeller.
SAFETY PRECAUTION.

through the third hole out from the center of
one servo arm, enlarge the hole in the servo
arm using a 2mm drill bit to accommodate the
servo connector. Remove the excess mate-
rial from the arm.
After installing the adjustable metal con-
nector apply a small drop of thin C/A to

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY
1) The stopper has been pre-assembled
at the factory.
2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length

rest about 8mm away from the rear of the tank
and move freely inside the tank). Connect one

per.
When the stopper assembly is installed in the
tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top surface of the tank. It should not
touch the top of the tank.

Do not secure the tank into place perma-

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 t ank compartment. Air should flow
through easily.
9. To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a
bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of
the tank, where it exits the fuselage behind the
engine mounting box and to the rear of the tank
at the forward bulkhead.
5) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using
a modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not over
tighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.
8) Feed three lines through the fuel tank
compartment and 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 of the tank should just about
touch the back of the firewall.
7) Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of
fuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2
vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in
the stopper.
Blow through one of the lines to ensure
the fuel lines have not become kinked inside
the fuel t ank comp artment. Air should flow
through easily.

2. While keeping the back edge of the
cowl flush with the marks, align the front of
the cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The
front of the cowl should be positioned so the
crankshaft is in nearly the middle of the cowl
opening. Hold the cowl firmly in place using
pieces of masking tape.
4. Install the muffler and muffler extension
onto the engine and make the cutout in the
cowl for muffler clearance. Connect the fuel
and pressure lines to the carburetor , muffler
and fuel filler valve.
