Two points to start: In this build, we will use epoxy glue in several steps. Prompt cleanup of any excess
epoxy is important. We recommend you use denatured alcohol, available at most hardware and home-im-
provement stores.
When you unpack your airplane, note that in order to remove the main hatch, you must release the latch
and then *pull forward* to release the hatch.

A few tips to ensure success:
1. We are very pleased with the level of craftsmanship displayed by the builders in our factory. Through hundreds of grueling
test flights containing maneuvers that no aircraft should be subjected to, our prototypes have remained rigid and completely
airworthy. Having said that, it is impossible for us to inspect every glue joint in the aircraft. Take a few minutes and apply some
medium CA to high stress areas such as the aileron servo mounting trays , landing gear mount, anti rotation pins, wing and stab
root ribs, etc.
2. Having survived the journey half way around the world while experiencing several climate changes, it is not uncommon for a
few wrinkles to develop in the covering. Fear not! These are not manufacturing defects, and are easily removed with a little bit of
heat. Use a sealing iron to go over all seams, stripes and sharp points in the covering scheme. You may want to apply a drop of
clear fingernail polish at the tip of all sharp points to prevent them from lifting. To remove wrinkles use a 100% cotton tee-shirt
or microfiber cloth and your heat gun and heat the covering while gently rubbing the covering onto the wood with the t-shirt or
cloth. Be careful not to use too much heat as the covering may shrink too much and begin to lift at the edges. Take your time,
and a beautiful, paint like finish is attainable. If you need to repair any covering during the life of your aircraft, the colors are:

White/Midnight Blue/Cub Yellow color scheme:
Cub Yellow #30 Cub Yellow-#HANU884
Dark Blue #52 Midnight Blue- # HANU885
White #10 White-# HANU870
3. DO NOT SKIMP ON SERVOS! Your aircraft is equipped with very large control surfaces that deflect up to 45 degrees. A lot of
servo power is required to prevent flutter and to maintain the required deflection for maneuvers. We absolutely recommend the
use of METAL GEARED servos with a minimum of 300 oz. inches of torque.
4. Use a high quality epoxy for installing the composite control horns and hinges. We highly recommend the use of Pacer
Z-Poxy 30 minute formula. We have used this glue for many years with zero failures. We also use the Loctite HYSOL brand epox-
ies with their very convenient application gun. If you need to clean any excess epoxy, we recommend a paper towel and dena-
tured alcohol.
5. Your aircraft is built using very modern construction techniques and is very light weight for its size. As with any high per-
formance machine, regular inspection and maintenance is a must. While disassembling your aircraft after a flying session, pay
close attention and inspect glue joints, linkages and loose covering to be sure the airframe is sound. A few minutes spent doing
this will help maintain airframe longevity.
6. We recommend the use of blue Loctite threadlocker when installing fasteners into your aircraft.

Locate the carbon ber landing gear and the Main Wheel hardware pack. e gear has a front,
and a back. To identify the front, note that the gear sweeps slight forward when installed. Use
4 screws and washers with loctite to install the landing gear as shown. Locate the gear “cu ”
fairings. Test t them to the landing gear. We recommend “Goop” adhesive to attach the cus.
Place masking tape to protect the gear surfeace as shown, apply a large dollop of Goop, slide on
the cu, and ax with masking tape until cured.

Attach the wheel axles to the landing gear by tightening the locking nuts. Slide on the wheels, and the
wheel spacers. Note the axles have at areas to accept the wheel collar set screws. Put loctite on the set
screw, then install and tighten the wheel collars. Locate the tailwheel and hardware bag. Using loctite,
mount the tailwheel to the fuselage using three screws as shown. Using a small amount of epoxy glue on
the wooden tabs, install the n on the bottom of the fusleage.

Assemble the tailwheel pushrod with the nylon ball link ends as shown. Remove the covering over the tail-
wheel steering servo mount location as shown. Install the servo wire extension onto the servo and mount
the servo. Install the pushrod between the servo arm and the tailwheel arm with 2mm screws, washers, and
locking nuts. Now is a good time to install the MPX wiring plugs into the pre-t locations in the fuselage,
using wood screws, as shown.

Locate the stab/rudder (it is pre-hinged for you), its hardware pack, and your servo, wire extesion, and
servo arm. Remove the wood tab on the bottom of the stab as shown. Locate the control horns. Sand
them lightly as shown in the area which will be glued. Assemble the plastic ball links onto the pushrods,
we use a cordless drill to assist. Note that the pushrods has one le hand, and one right hand thread.
Assemble the horns with the sqaure base plate, and the pushrod, with a screw, washers, and locking nuts
as shown.

Remove the covering in the area between the slots on the rudder as shown. Test-t the horn assembly
into the slots. It should be tight, but should go in with moderate force. You may need to clean out the
slots with the hobby knife. Place epoxy glue into the slots and onto the horns. Push the horns into the
slot, seat it rmly. If any epoxy glue squeezes out, clean up with a paper towel soaked with denatured
alcohol.
