SEA FURY - EP Item code: BH126 . Instruction Manual
Caution: this model is not a toy!
Ifyouare a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an experienced model flyerforhelp
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.
Creases: Blow warm air 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 be built in a very short time. However, the work which
youhave to carry out is important and must be donecarefully.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.
SAFETY PRECAUTION.
+ This is not a toy
+ Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio frequency.
+ Wear safety glasses.
+ Keep loose clothing and wires away from the propeller.
+ Do not start the motor if people are near. Do not stand in line with the side of the propeller.
+ Make motor adjustments from behind the propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.

1. Plug the servo leads and the switch
leadinto the receiver. You may want to plug
anaileronextensioninto the receiver to make
plugging in the aileron servo lead easier
when you are installing the wing . Plug the
battery pack lead into the switch.

2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in
the protective foam to protect them from vi-
bration.Use a rubber band or masking tape to
hold the foam in place.


1) It is critical that your airplane be bal-
anced correctly. Improper balance will cause
your plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
80MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING.


2)Mountthe wing to the fuselage. Using a
coupleof pieces of masking tape, place them
on the top side of the wing 80mm back from
the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.


3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place
your fingers on the masking tape and care-
fully lift the plane .
BALANCING.
Lift the model. If the tail drops when you
lift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must
add weigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it
is “nose heavy” and you must add weight* to
the tail to balance.
*Ifpossible, firstattemptto balancethemodel
by changing the position of the receiver bat-
tery and receiver. If you are unable to obtain
goodbalance by doing so, then it will be nec-
essary to add weight to the nose or tail to
achieve the proper balance point.
 With the wing attached to the fuselage, all
partsof the model installed ( readytofly),and
empty fuel tanks, hold the model at the
markedbalance point with the stabilizerlevel.
Accuratelymark the balance point on the top
ofthe wing onboth sides ofthefuselage. The
balance point is located 80mm back from
theleadingedge. This is the balance point at
whichyourmodel shouldbalance foryour first
flights. Later, you may wish to experiment by
shifting the balance up to 10mm forward or
back to change the flying characteristics.
Movingthe balance forwardmay improve the
smoothness and arrow- like tracking, but it
may then require more speed for take off
and make it more difficult to slow down for
landing. Moving the balance aft makes the
model more agile with a lighter and snappier
”feel”. In any case, please start at the loca-
tion we recommend .


1) We highly recommend setting up a
plane using the control throws listed.


2) The control throws should be meas-
ured at the widest point of each control sur-
face.


3) Check to be sure the control surfaces
move in the correct directions.
CONTROL THROWS.
Ailerons : 10 mm up 10 mm down
Elevator : 12 mm up 12 mm down
Rudder : 15 mm right 15 mm left


1) Completely charge your transmitter and
receiver batteries before your first day of fly-
ing.


2) Check every bolt and every glue joint in
your plane to ensure that everything is tight
and well bonded.


3) Double check the balance of the
airplane.


4) Check the control surface.


5) Check the receiver antenna . It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.


6) Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many safe and enjoy-
able flights with your Spitfire - EP.
