Toavoidscratching 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-
craftandto protect thetable.Keep a coupleof
jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts af-
ter you open the bag.
Pleasetrial fit all theparts.Makesureyouhave
the correct parts and that they fit and are
alignedproperlybeforegluing!Thiswillassure
properassembly.SEDONAARF is hand made
from natural materials, every plane is unique
andminor adjustments mayhaveto 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:paintthinner,C/Aglueaccelerator,C/Aglue

INSTALLING THEAILERON SERVOS.
1) Install the rubber grommets and brass
eyelets onto the aileron servo.
Because the size of servos differ, you may
need to adjust the size of the precut opening
in the mount. The notch in the sides of the
mount allow the servo lead to pass through.

aligning the cut out in the mount with the cut-
out in the wing. The two notches in the mount
should face the leading edge of the wing.
3) While holding the servo mount firmly in
place, trace around it using a pen.
4) Remove the mount, and using a model-
ing knife, carefully remove the covering from

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY
1) The stopper has been pre-assembled
at the factory.
2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length
ofsilicon fuel line (thelength of silicon fuelline
iscalculatedby how the weighted clunk should
restabout8mm away fromtherear of thetank
andmovefreely inside the tank).Connectone
end of the line to the weighted clunk and the
otherend to the nylonpick up tube inthe stop-
per.
3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette
lighter). This tube will be the vent tube to the
muffler.
4)Carefullybendthe third nylon tubedown
ata45degreeangle(usingacigarettelighter).
This tubewillbevent tube to the fuelingvalve.
FUEL TANK.
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.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
thestopper assembly tightenthe3mmx20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pandsandsealsthetankopening.Donotover
tighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.
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.
5) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using
amodelingknife. Ifflashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.

bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of
thetank,whereitexits the fuselage behind the
enginemounting box andtotherearofthe tank
at the forward bulkhead.
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,thefrontofthetankshouldjust about
