This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great ying aeroplane. Please read this manual
thoroughly before starting assembly of your PROCTOR. Use the parts listing below to identify all parts.
FUSELAGE ASSEMBLY
(1) Fuselage.
WING ASSEMBLY
(1) Right wing half with pre-installed
aileron.
(1) Left wing half with pre-installed
aileron.
TAIL SECTION ASSEMBLY
(1) Vertical stabilizer with pre-installed
rudder.
(1) Horizontal stabilizer with
pre-installed elevator halves.
Some more parts.
HARDWARE PACK
Landing gear.....
Please trial t all the parts. Make sure you have
the correct parts and that they t and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. PROCTOR 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 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.
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 aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the
bag.
SUGGESTION
NOTE
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 ight 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 ight. They will also be able to advise on any
insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

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 lm more than is absolutely
necessary. If the air or the iron is too hot, the lm 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 y 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 t the screw.
Caution:
This model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered model,
please ask an experienced model yer 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 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 lm covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the
lm covering due to major uctuations in weather
conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases
you may even nd a slight warp in a component.
These minor faults are in the nature of lm-covered
built-up wooden structures, and can easily be
corrected using a heat gun, as commonly used for
modelling.
Creases: Blow warm air over the area and
rub down with a soft cloth.
REPLACEMENT LARGE PARTS
+ This is not a toy
+ Be sure that no other yers are using your radio
frequency.
+ Wear safety glasses.
+ The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
+ Do not start the EDF if people are near.

Test t the ailerons to the wing with the hinges. If the
hinges don’t remain centered, stick a pin through the
middle of the hinge to hold it in position.
See pictures below:
2. INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS

covering from over the pre-cut servo arm exit hole on
the aileron servo tray / hatch. This hole will allow the
servo arm to pass through when installing the aileron
pushrods.

VI. INSTALLING HORIZONTAL
STABILIZER
2) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove the lm
covering from the tail slots at the rear of the fuselage.
Make sure that you do not remove any wood from the
slots as this will affect the alignment of the tail.

4) Check the t of the horizontal stabilizer in its
slot. Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and
centered to the fuselage by taking measurements, but
don’t glue anything yet.
Check to mark sure the wing and stabilizer are
paralell. If they are not, lightly sand the opening
in the fuselage for the stabilizer until the stabilizer
is paralell to the wing, but don’t glue anything yet.

5) With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,
mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and the
bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble / non
permanent felt-tip pen.
6) Remove the stabilizer. Using a modeling knife
and ruler CAREFULLY cut 1mm inside the marked
lines. Remove the covering from the top and the
bottom of the tail plane.
Make sure you only cut with enough pressure to only
cut through the lm and not the wood. Cutting into
the balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead to
possible failure during ight.

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 stabilizer in place with T-pins or
masking tape.
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 ll
in any gaps that may exits that were not lled previ-
ously and clean up the excess using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol.
ELEVATOR PUSHROD INSTALLATION
1) Using pliers, carefully make a 90 degree bend
down at the mark made. Cut off the excess wire, leaving
about 6mm beyond the blend.
2) Insert the 90 degree bend down through the
hole in the servo arm. Install one nylon snap keeper
over the wire to secure it to the arm. Install the servo
arm retaining screw.
