SUPER AIR- Item code BH05-A. Instruction Manual
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your SUPER AIR. 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.

Landinggear.....
Toavoid scratching yournew airplane, donot
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old
towel or brown paper, both to protect the air-
craftand to protectthe table.Keep a coupleof
jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts af-
ter you open the bag.
Pleasetrialfitalltheparts.Makesureyouhave
the correct parts and that they fit and are
alignedproperly beforegluing! Thiswillassure
proper assembly. SUPER AIR 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 su-
perior 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
debonderandacetone. Donotlet thesechemi-
cals come in contact with the colors on the
covering and the plastic parts.

Caution: this model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered
model,please askanexperienced modelflyer
forhelpand support.Ifyou attempt tooperate
themodel withoutknowing whatyou aredoing
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
ofRCmodels please readright 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
bebuilt ina veryshort time.However,thework
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
taskscompetently -so pleasework slowlyand
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.
Creases: Blowwarm airoverthe area
and rub down with a soft
cloth.
SAFETY PRECAUTION.
Wing warp: Holdthepaneltwisted gently
in the opposite direction to
the warp, and apply warm
air to remove the creases
from the covering.

It should not touch the top of the tank.
 5. Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using
amodeling knife. Ifflashing 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-
pandsand sealsthe tankopening.Donotover
tighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.

Fueltank
Fueltank
Do not secure the tank into place perma-
nently until after balancing the airplane.
You may need to remove the tank to mount
the battery in the fuel tank compartment.
9. To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a
bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of
thetank, whereit exitsthe fuselagebehind the
enginemountingbox andtothe rearofthetank
at the forward bulkhead.
Blow through one of the lines to ensure
the fuel lines have not become kinked inside
the fuel tank compartment. Air should flow
througheasily.
 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 frontof thetank shouldjustabout
touch the back of the firewall.
Locate the long piece of wire used for the
throttlepushrod. Oneend ofthe wirehas been
pre-bend in to a “Z” bend at the factory. This

intothelower rearportion of thefuselage This
slot accepts the lower vertical.
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.
