Refer to the photo on the right
for proper glue points.
Once the glue has set for approximately
90 seconds, join the two pieces then pull
them apart, creating 'strings' of glue.
Repeat 3 times then press the two
pieces together for the final time, this will
ensure maximum strength at the glued
point.
1. Use a radio or servo tester to center the
servo.
2. Apply glue to the servo bay and install
the "9g servo box(C)".
3. Apply glue to the rudder and install the
"Surface control horn(D)".
4. Place the servo in "9g servo
box(C)" and press the wire into the

A. Screws (PT3x5mm 2pcs)
1. Ensure that the flat points of the
"Elevator rotation shaft" are aligned
with the screws that anchor the
Horizontal Stabilizers. If they aren't
aligned, the surfaces will not be
securely anchored and there is a
possibility of them coming loose
during flight.
2. Connect the rudder servo cable to
the extension cable in the fuselage.
3. Slide the Vertical Stabilizer into the
rear of the fuselage and insert the
screw into the bottom of the
fuselage and tighten it to anchor the
Vertical Stabilizer.
4. Place the foam cover over the
fuselage anchor port and secure it
with the 3 screws. Note the plastic
hard points that the screws feed
into.

The correct Center of Gravity is directly related to the success of the initial flights. Refer to the following diagram
to ensure you have the proper CG. Once comfortable with the airplane, you can adjust the CG to suit your
individual taste.
You can adjust the CG by moving the battery either
forward or back. If you find that moving the battery
is insufficient, you can use some other suitable
material such as a sticky back weight strip to
counter weight.
