Kit Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the X-Cell Furion 6 by Miniature Aircraft USA. This model is the culmination
of years of designing and manufacturing R/C helicopters. It is designed with the highest standards, and will
provide years of enjoyment. Whether this is your first R/C model helicopter or you are an advanced R/C
helicopter modeler, the X-Cell Furion 6 is a fantastic choice for a “600 size” model.
R/C Helicopter Safety
A radio controlled model helicopter is not a toy, but rather a technically complex device that must be built
and operated with care. It is also a fascinating and challenging part of the R/C sport, the mastery of which is
very rewarding. A model helicopter must be built exactly in accordance with the building instructions. The kit
manufacturer has spent much time and effort refining his product to make it reliable in operation and easy to
build. The essentially bolt together construction can proceed quite rapidly, giving the builder a strong sense of
accomplishment that encourages hasty progress from one construction phase to the next, so that the completed
model can be more quickly seen and enjoyed. It is essential to recognize and guard against this tendency.
Follow building instructions exactly. Vibration and stress levels are high and all fasteners and attachments must
be secure for safe operation.
Note that this is the first use of the word SAFETY in these comments. Previously the kit manufacturer’s efforts to ensure reliable
operation were mentioned. That is ALL that he can do. Safe operation is the responsibility of the builder/flyer and starts with careful
construction and continues with selection and installation of reliable radio equipment and engine.
The need for safety is nowhere greater than at the flying field. A number of guidelines for safe flight have been
developed by experienced flyers and are set down here. It is urged that they be read, understood and followed.
Warning! – Risk of death or serious injury
Remote Control (“R/C”) Helicopters can be dangerous. Inexperienced pilots of R/C Helicopters should be
trained and supervised by experienced operators. All operators should use safety glasses and other appropriate
safety equipment, and exercise necessary precautions when fueling, repairing, maintaining, flying and
storing R/C Helicopters, and when using or storing R/C Helicopter accessories, equipment, fuels, and related
materials. R/C Helicopters should be used only in open areas free of obstacles, and far enough from people to
minimize the possibility of injury from the helicopter or any of its components falling or flying in unexpected
directions.
This helicopter is not a toy, but a complex flying machine that must be assembled with care by a responsible
individual. Failure to exert care in assembly, or radio or accessory installation, may result in a model incapable
of safe flight or ground operation. Rotating components are an ever present danger and source of injury to
operators and spectators. Since the manufacturer and his agents have no control over the proper assembly and
operation of his products, no responsibility or liability can be assumed for their use.
General Guidelines for Safe R/C Helicopter Flight
• Fly only at approved flying fields and obey field regulations.
• Follow frequency control procedures. Interference can be dangerous to all.
• Know your radio. Check all transmitter functions before each flight.
• Be aware that rotating blades are very dangerous and can cause serious injury.
• Never fly near or above spectators or other modelers.
• If you’re a beginner, get help trimming the model first and flight training later.
• Don’t “track” the main blades by holding the tail boom. This is a temptation to builders who cannot hover yet
and is very dangerous.
• Follow all recommended maintenance procedures for model, radio and engine.

Important Assembly Tips - PLEASE READ
• Follow the instructions. The methods of construction documented in this manual have been proven to work.
Do not rush the build of your model! You have purchased a world class model helicopter kit, take your
time and realize that the final result is now up to you. Take the time to fully understand each step, if you are
unsure please contact Miniature Aircraft USA.
• Follow the order of assembly. The instructions have been organized into major sections and have been written
in such a way that each step builds upon the work done in the previous step. Changing the order of assembly
may result in unnecessary steps.
• Clean all metal parts: All of the steel parts in this kit are coated with a lubricant to prevent them from rusting.
This coating can interfere with the adhesives and thread locks needed for assembly. Use a solvent such as
alcohol or acetone to clean the various metal parts, especially threads.
• Use thread lock as indicated. Generally, any bolt or screw that threads into a metal part requires thread lock.
Model helicopters are subject to vibration and failing to use thread lock on any non-locking assembly may
result in a part becoming loose or falling off.

Getting Started
Bag 1
Locate bag 1, and the hardware for bag 1. Please take the time to identify the hardware for this bag. Please note that the use of
medium thread locking compound is always required when a part is threaded into metal. There may be times when the use of
thread locking compound will not be used until a later point in the build.
In this step, you will attach parts to the right main frame side. Refer to Illustration 1a for this step.
• Locate parts bags 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, and hardware bag 1.
• Locate the MA129-10 right side main frame from bag 1a.
• Use 4 MA0060-1 m3x6 socket head bolts to attach the two MA128-65 landing gear mounting blocks from bag 1b to the
outside of the frame as shown.
• Use 4 MA0060-1 m3x6 socket head bolts to attach 3 MA128-58 frame spacers from bag 1b as shown.
• Use 1 MA0060-1 m3x6 socket head bolt and an MA0003 m3 washer to attach the front canopy mount from bag 1b, and 1
MA0060-1 m3x6 socket bolt to attach the MA128-61 rear canopy mount from bag 1b to each of the MA129-37 canopy break-
away mounts from bag 1a as shown.
• Use 1 MA0060-1 m3x6 socket bolt to attach the front canopy mount assembly to the MA129-10 right side main frame, and
use 1 MA0060-1 m3x6 socket bolt to attach the rear canopy mount assembly to the MA129-10 right side main frame. The
rear canopy mount assembly is attached to the right side main frame assembly using an MA128-58 frame spacer from bag 1b.
Attach the front canopy mount assembly to the right main frame side into the PEM nut. A PEM nut has been installed at the
factory for this bolt to attach to.
• Insert the MA129-49 9/16” rubber wire grommet from bag 1b into the hole in the frame as shown.
