Before Starting Assembly
Before beginning the assembly of the Beast 100, remove each part from its bag for inspection.
Closely inspect the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you find any
damaged or missing parts, contact the place of purchase. Go over the covering using a heat
gun or sealing iron. It is best to use a heat gun to take away any wrinkles on curved surfaces
such as part of the fuselage, but make sure to apply pressure with a covering glove to make
the covering stick when it is still hot. Use caution while working around areas where the colors
overlap to prevent separating the colors. Also make sure to go over the edges and seams with
a sealing iron.

Beast 100 Introduction and Optional Sun Cover
What do you get when one of RC’s greatest 3D pilots collaborates with one of full-scale
aviation’s greatest aircraft designers? The Beast, a giant-scale bi-plane with monoplane-like
flight characteristics, that blurs the line between 3D and precision aerobatic performance, and
more than lives up to its name.
The full-scale Beast is the brainchild of renowned aircraft restoration expert, Kevin Kimball, who
actually collaborated with 3D champ and Hangar 9 product developer Quique Somenzini on its
design. The brute power of its 410 hp engine combined with the finesse of its neck-snapping
370 degree/second roll rate make it one of the most formidable aerobatic planes ever created.
Drawing on his experience with the design of the full-scale Beast, Quique created this licensed
100cc reproduction for Hangar 9. He did so with the full cooperation of Mr. Kimball as well as
Bryan Jensen, the Beast’s pilot and owner, and Mirco Pecorari who designed the full-scale
plane’s trim scheme. At the heart of the model’s design is a rigid, lightweight airframe that
features thinner wings for better top speed and agility.
Beast 100 is one of the few truly scale but high-performance giant-scale RC planes that today
is available to modelers in the form of an ARF. The trim scheme of this plane is refreshing
among other models and as scale as it can be. However, due to the combination of dark
colors, it is best that the model does not stay under direct sun light for long periods of time to
avoid wrinkles in the covering. Darker colors absorb heat more than lighter colors. We strongly
recommend the use of a sun cover to protect the airplane at the field. Hangar 9 offers a white
plane sun cover (HAN9170) that you can purchase as an optional accessory and easily put on
the plane for complete protection of the covering.

A Word From The Creator Of The Beast
Most designers of cool machines like race cars, boats, motorcycles or airplanes constantly look
for ways to increase performance out of their designs. In many cases, this results in improved
designs as experience is gained. Evolution of design. The Beast is exactly this....the latest
evolution of the Model 12. While most Model 12 aircraft are 2-place aircraft, the Beast has
been modified to be a single seat aircraft. This reduced the weight of the basic aircraft and
eliminated some of the drag associated with the 2-place canopy.
There were three main design improvement goals in creating the Beast. Lighter weight,
increased power, and increased maneuverability. Several design changes to the Beast
were developed based on changes Quique Somenzini had developed for giant-scale RC
models. Weight was reduced 150 pounds (10%) through the use of titanium, carbon fiber,
and some lightweight components. Power of the 10,000 cc, 9-cylinder engine was increased
to 410 hp with modifications including high-compression pistons, fuel injection and advanced
micro-polishing of internal parts. Increased maneuverability was found by wingspan and tip
modifications, aileron design changes, improvements to the tail and CG. The Beast weighs
1420 pounds with 1850 pounds of thrust. This isn’t as good as most 3D RC models but is
far better than most full scale aerobatic airplanes. The Beast has a 2-second takeoff roll and
climbs at over 4000 feet per minute. A top speed of 250 mph and a roll rate of 365 deg/sec.
The Beast, in both full size and RC versions, is the product of shared information between RC
and Full Scale designers. The Hangar 9 Beast is a fantastic model airplane with outstanding
performance, great looks, and solid construction. Enjoy your Beast and let it “Roar to Life” at a
field near you!

Required Parts
• Rudder
• Vertical fin
• Hinge rod
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Drill
• Petroleum jelly
Step 1
Pass the rod with some low viscosity lubricant
through the rudder and vertical fin separately.
This will lubricate the hinges on each side
and help remove any dirt in the hinges.
Note, the rod is 1mm in diameter as seen in
the picture below.
Step 2
Iron the edges then line up the hinges on the
rudder and vertical fin.
Lubricate the rod with a low viscosity lubricant
and push it through the hinges. A drill would
make this easier. If binding, back out and
slowly push the rod through. Putting too much
pressure when binding would buckle the rod.

Required Parts
• Rudder
• Vertical fin
• Hinge rod
• Rudder control horn hardware
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Hobby knife, #11 blade
• Ruler
• Thin CA
• Threadlock
• 30-minute epoxy
• Towel, alcohol swabs
• Crescent wrench or pliers
Step 1
Insert the vertical fin in the fuselage. Mark
the edges using a pen.
Note that the vertical fin fits tightly in the
fuselage. If you have any problem dry fitting
the covering on the vertical fin, DO NOT
force it in as you may break the fuselage
opening. Remove some covering on the
conservative side until the vertical fin fits in
the fuselage. You can use pictures in Step 2
as reference.
Step 2
Remove the vertical fin and covering 1/8 inch
inside the lines you marked. Make sure not
to scar the vertical fin. Use a new blade and
change as needed. Then go over the edges
with a heating iron.
If you scar the balsa, go over it with thin CA
before final assembly.
Note the measurements shown in the
following pictures are approximate. Make sure
to go by your markings.
