This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your MIDGET MUSTANG-EP. Use the parts listing
below to identify all parts.
WARNING.
Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is
capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU
ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.
If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier
and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training
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.MIDGET MUSTANG-EPIARF is hand
made from natural materials, every plane is
unique and minor adjustments may have to be
made. However, you should find the fit supe-
rior 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.

the marks you made on the fuselage.
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.
3. Slide the cowl back over the engine
and secure it in place using four wood screws.
See picture below.

you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the
covering from between them using a modeling
knife. When cutting through the cover-
ingto remove it, cut with only enoughpres-
sure 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

 5. When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
top and bottom of the stabilizer mounting area
and to the stabilizer mounting platform sides
in the fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in place and
re-align. Double check all of your measure-
ments one more time before the epoxy cures.
Remove any excess epoxy using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the stabi-
lizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
6. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove
the masking tape or T-pins used to hold the
stabilizer in place and carefully inspect the
glue joints. Use more epoxy to fill in any
gaps that were not filled previously and
clean up the excess using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol.

 2. Put the rudder into the fuselage as
same as picture below.
 4. Now, remove the rudder and using a
modeling knife, carefully cut just inside the
marked lines and remove the film of the rud-
der. Just as you did with the horizontal stabi-
lizer, make sure you only press hard enough
to cut the film, not the balsa rudder.
 5. Put the vertical stabilizer back in
place. Using a triangle, check to ensure
that the vertical stabilizer is aligned 90 de-
gree to the horizontal stabilizer.
 6) When you are sure that everything is a
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
slot in the mounting platform and to the verti-
cal stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to
the lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in
place and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceed-
ing.
