KMP CF-105 Arro User manual

Historyofthe Avro Arrow:
The CF-105 Avro Arrow was a Canadian built and designed delta winginterceptor. It
was an incrediblyadvanced aircraft, with the promise of reachingmach 2 at altitudes
over 50 000 ft. It took flight in 1958, powered byits Orenda Iroquois engine.
Shortlyafter the first prototypes were built, the Liberal partylost a federal election to the
Progressive Conservative partyunder John Diefenbaker. At the time, it appeared as
though missiles would replace combat aircraft forinterception duties Canada’s NORAD
partner, the United States was pressuringCanada to purchase the BoeingBomarc missile
system. Because of the costs of adoptingthe Bomarc it was decided that Canada could
not afford the Arrow.
As a result, the government spectacularlycancelled the program in 1959, putting50 000
workers out of work. Within two months, all aircraft, tooling, technical data and etc...
were all ordered destroyed because of RCMP reports of a soviet mole in the Avro
company. The 5 prototypes and production aircraft, and virtuallyeverythingelse were
destroyed.
KMP is honoured to bringthis historicallysignificant and great flyingaircraft to the R/C
marketplace.
Instruction Manual
Please note that this instruction manual should serve as a basicguide to help the build
process of this model. Itis assumed that the builder alreadyhas a basic knowledge of
model aircraft construction. Should you have anyquestions or wish to contribute to the
guide, feel free to contactus toll free 1-888-968-7251.
WARNING!
This model is not a toyand should onlybe flown bya capable model aircraft pilot. We do
not recommend flyingthis model in small parks as speeds of over 100 Mph maybe achieved
with the model. Please flyonlyin a MAAC or AMA sanctioned field.
Building Requirements:
5 & 30 min EpoxyHobbyKnife RotaryToolRuler
Thin CA Fine Sandpaper Drill Cloth
Flying Requirements:
2 Mini Servos Optional Retracts Optional 3d Servo Deans Connectors 5 Ch Radio w/mix
50+ Amp ESC Brushless Motor 3S 2200Mah – 30C 2 - 9in Servo Ext.12 Guage Wire

1. Locate the servo bays on the bottom of
the wing
2. Trim the coveringawaywith a sharp
#11 blade exposingthe bays
3. After trimmingthe servo baysensure
there is an access hole to pull the
servo lead through. Use a drill or
metal tube to make your hole.
4. Position your servo and secure it inside
the bayusingsilicone ortwo sided
tape
5. Pull the servo lead through and make
sure it is free of anykinks. Servo
extensions maybe necessaryto reach
the receiver.
6. Locate the ailevons and make sure you
have 3 fabric CA hinges per side.

7. Use thin CA to secure the hinges in
place
8. Repeat the same process for the other
side
9. Locate the main wingspar. There is
one for each wing.
10. Test fit the wingspar inside the fuse to
ensure a smooth fit.
11. Locate the wingalignment pins. There
are two for each side.
12. Drill a hole slightlysmaller than the
pin allowingfor a tight fit. Place the
hole toward the leading edge of the
wingas shown in the picture

13. Secure the pin with ThinCA.
14. Repeat the procedure for the rear
alignment pin
15. Gentlyslide the wingassemblyinto
the fuselage. Mark the spots
carefullywhere the wingalignment
pins meet the fuse.
16. Drill the holes carefullyand test fit
the assembly.
17. Ensure the wingincidence is the
same on both sides. DO NOT Glue
the winginto place at this point.
.
18. Locate the Vertical Fin.
19. Gentlysand the lower contact points
of the fin to ensure a tight bond with
the fuselage

20. Using5-30 minute Epoxy, glue the
vertical fin in place.Use tape to
secure the fin in position while the
epoxyis setting.
21. Locate the fan hatch. Test fit the
hatch and ensure a secure fit.
22. Position the rear fan shroud as far
back as possible to create an
openingto mount the fan unit.
23. Sand the openingof the shroud
lightlyto ensure a good bond with
the fan unit.

24. Test fit the fan unit.
25. Test Fit the ESC. Measure the
appropriate length of wire used to
reach the receiver in the front of the
aircraft. 12 Guage wire works best.
26. Test fit the battery. Use “Deans” style
connectors to join the Batteryto the
ESC.
27. Be sure that all the wires are run
neatlythrough the compartment

28. Locate the batterycover and test fit.
29. Use a straight edge to ensure the
decals are applied level.Use a cloth
to absorb the excess water and help
secure the decals.
30. Run the air line throughthe mount
31. Set the optional retracts into position.
32. Using4 screws set the gear in place
33. Finished assemblywithout the strut.

34. Usinga wheel collar secure the wheel
into place.
35. Finished assemblywith the strut and
wheel
35. Connect the servo to the control horn
usinga short pushrod and clevis.
36. Use an “Z” bend at the servo arm
37. Be sure that the fuselagehas enough
holed drilled to accommodate the air
lines and the servo lead to pass through.
38. Now that the wingassemblyis
completed, you mayglue the winginto
place.
39. You maychose to cut out the wind
shield. This will allow the air to cool the
batterycompartment more easily.
40. The Aircraft is finished. The CoG is
located 9” behind the leadingedge,
Roughlyat the center of the fan hatch.
