The H-King F6F Hellcat "Little Nugget" is the second in the "Reno Aces" mini-series from H-King, they are
WW2 fighters dressed to impress at the air races. The F6F Hellcat "Little Nugget" with the included stock
3108-1070KV brushless motor offers a really hot-rod performance straight out of the box, speeds approaching
100mph are possible when using the recommended 2200mAh 4S LiPo. However, if you are an experienced
hand and are looking for 100+ mph speeds then there is the optional drop-in fit 3108-1170KV 'Pro' brushless
motor. This will give your great-looking Reno Ace a really ballistic performance on the same prop, ESC, and
4S battery. This is only for those that can handle the extra speed and the extra rotational torque on hand-
launching.

Installation of the vertical and horizontal stabilizers:
Before you install the horizontal stabilizer, dry fit it onto the seating at the rear
of the fuselage as shown.
1Press the horizontal stabilizer lightly against the rear of the seating area so
as to leave a mark on the foam. Make a 1mm wide groove with a hobby
knife in the foam to allow for clearance of the elevator torque rod.
2Then remove 5mm of foam material from the rear of the fuselage as
shown by the red lines with a hobby knife.
