ThankyouforchoosingtheGlobalRightFlyer60HARFandwelcometotheexcitingworldofR/Cmodeling!
Whether you have built and flown other R/C airplanes in the past, or if this is your first, you will appreciate the
high quality, easy assembly and excellent flight characteristics of the Right Flyer 60H ARF.
The Right Flyer 60H was designed by expert modelers to be the very best sport trainer available today. It
features a constant cord wing that provides excellent slow-flight handling and forgiving flight characteristics.
The wing's airfoil is semi-symmetrical, so you can learn aerobatics and inverted flight also! A long tail moment
and large tail surfaces help the airplane fly very smooth and stable throughout the entire speed range, and the
rugged tricycle landing gear makes takeoffs and landings a breeze, too. We think that you will agree this
combination makes the Right Flyer 60H the best flying sport trainer at any flying field. Above all else, though,
the Right Flyer 60H is big! This makes learning to fly much easier, because you can see the airplane better and
because it is much more stable in wind than a smaller airplane.
When you open up the box, you'll notice that you won't have much left to do or to purchase to finish your
new airplane. Unlike other trainer kits, the Right Flyer 60H is a complete kit. Wheels, fuel tank, pushrods,
clevises and spinner are all included. The airframe is completely built and covered by master craftsmen, who
take their time to ensure that every part is straight and properly glued, and you'll love the fact the large horizontal
stabilizer is removable! This makes it much easier to transport.
We hope you enjoy your new Right Flyer 60H ARF as much as we have enjoyed designing and building it
for you. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us. We have also included a product
survey in the back of this manual. Please take the time to fill it out and send it to us. We would enjoy hearing
any comments or suggestions you may have.
This instruction manual is designed to guide you through the entire final assembly process of your new
Right Flyer 60H ARF in the least amount of time possible. Along the way you'll learn how to properly
assemble your new airplane and also learn many tips that will help you in the future. We have listed some
of our recommendations below. Please read through them before going any further.
INTRODUCTION
üPlease read through each step before starting
assembly. You should find the layout very com-
plete and simple. Our goal is to guide you through
assembly without any of the headaches and hassles
you might expect.
üThere are check boxes next to each step. After
you complete a step, check off the box. This will
help you keep from losing your place.
üCover your work table with brown paper or a
soft cloth, both to protect the table and to protect
the individual parts.
üKeep a couple of small bowls or jars handy to
put the small parts in after you open the accessory
bags.
üWe have included a glossary of terms begin-
ning on page # 38. Check it out if you come across
a term that is unfamiliar to you.
üWe're all excited to get a new airplane in the
air, but take your time. This will ensure you build
a straight, strong and great flying airplane.
üIf you come across this symbol , it means
that this is an important point or an assembly hint.
If you should find a part missing or damaged, or have any questions about assembly, please contact us at the

The following section describes our recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to
purchase for your new Right Flyer 60H ARF. We have tested all of these items with the airplane and found that
these products will offer the best in performance, reliability and economy.
The Right Flyer 60H ARF requires a .61 - .75 size two
stroke engine. The engine that we recommend is the
Magnum XL .61ARNV with remote needle valve. This
engine is a perfect match to the Right Flyer 60H, both in
power and in ease of installation. The rear-mounted
needle valve assembly makes tuning the engine easy and
safe.
Most people getting into R/C worry most about getting the correct accessories for their airplane (radio, engine,
etc.), and that is important. But a lot of people don't put as much effort into the field support equipment they
choose. Field support equipment is a necessary and important part of flying R/C airplanes. Without it, how do
you fuel your airplane, start the engine and do maintenance? Having the proper field support equipment is just
as important as having the correct engine and radio system. Below we detail two types of field support setups.
One is the bare minimum that will be required. The second setup will cost a little bit more, but if you're planning
on staying in the hobby, it's the best way to go in the long run.
MINIMUM SETUP
Magnum Hand Crank Fuel Pump - This is a hand-
operated fuel pump that makes filling the fuel tank easy
and hassle-free.
RADIO SYSTEM
The Right Flyer 60H ARF requires a minimum 4 chan-
nel radio control system that includes four standard size
servos. The radio system we recommend using is the
Hitec Focus 4 FM radio from Hitec. This particular ra-
dio system includes the transmitter, receiver, four
standard servos, rechargeable transmitter and receiver
battery packs, a standard wall charger, switch, servo
mounting hardware and a setup guide. It is priced right
and can be used in other airplanes as you advance.

Magnum 4-Way Wrench - Use this wrench for your
engine prop nut and glow plug. It has four different
sized sockets built into one wrench, so this is the only
wrench you'll need on the flight line. It also includes
threaded inserts to hold extra glow plugs.
Magnum Glow Starter - This cordless glow starter is
used to heat up the engine's glow plug for starting. It
includes a built-in meter that tells you your glow plug's
status. A battery charger is included to charge the unit
after use. You can start your airplane's engine right on
the flight line with this one if you need to.
Sullivan Chicken Stick - Instead of using your fingers
to flip the propeller and start your engine, you use this
rubber stick. It prevents sometimes nasty cuts and
scratches to your fingers. This is a must-have item for
hand-starting your engine.
Global Super Box RTU Field Box - This field box is
alreadyassembled,paintedandReady-To-Use. Itisideal
for carrying all of your field equipment and supplies,
including a one gallon fuel bottle. It is built from ply-
wood, so it will last for many years to come. (Note:
Accessories shown with field box not included.)
Magnum Power Panel - This panel mounts directly to
your flight box. It features a 12V starter outlet, 12V
fuel pump outlet and a one-touch glow ignitor outlet
with meter.

Magnum 12V Starter - This starter is used with your
power panel. It uses a powerful DC motor to start en-
gines in the .10 - .61 size range. It features a rubber
starter cone insert that won't damage your airplane's
spinner assembly.
Magnum12V Fuel Pump - This fuel pump is used with
your power panel and mounts directly to your flight box.
It quickly fuels or drains your fuel tank with the simple
press of a button.
Global 12V Sealed Cell Battery and Charger - This
battery is a 7Amp battery that is maintenance-free. It
mounts in your flight box and provides power to your
12V accessories. The charger fully charges the battery
in about 8 hours.
Magnum Locking Glow Connector - Used with your
power panel, the locking glow connector is used to heat
up the engine's glow plug for starting.

We have organized the parts as they come out of the box for easier identification during assembly. Each photo
below represents the parts that are required in a main section of the assembly process. Before you begin
assembly, group the parts like we show. This will ensure that you have all of the parts before you begin
assembly and it will also help you become familiar with each part. The corresponding part number is listed first,
then the quantity of that particular part, along with a short description of the part. As you proceed through
assembly, you will notice the same part number listed next to a particular part necessary for that step. If you
have any questions as to what that part might be, refer back to this section.
