BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down
Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down
Rudder : 60mm right 60mm left
CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.
3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in
the correct directions.

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.
INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in
the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using
a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION
PARTS REQUIRED
· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.
1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the
mounting platform in the top of the fuselage. Mark
the shape of the fuselage on the left and right

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a
guide and using masking tape, tape the servo
lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the
thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the
servo lead from the thread.
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing
halves together to double check that the wing
halves still fit correctly.
4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply
a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the
dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace
box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make
sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully
align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe
away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the
two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.
6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the
center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a
small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill
any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the
wings where they join.

remove the masking tape from the aileron.
9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron
linkage. After both linkages are completed,
connect both of the aileron servo leads using a
Y-harness you have purchased separately.
3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.
Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and
centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,
but don't glue anything yet.
4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,
mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and
bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /
non-permanent felt-tip pen.
5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.
When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.

After installing the adjustable metal connector
apply a small drop of thin C/A to the bottom nut.
This will prevent the connector from loosening
during flight.
2. Plug the throttle servo into the receiver and turn
on the radio system. Check to ensure that the
throttle servo output shaft is moving in the
correct direction. When the throttle stick is
moved forward from idle to full throttle, the
throttle barrel should also open and close using
this motion. If not, reverse the direction of the
servo, using the transmitter.
3. Slide the adjustable metal connector / servo
arm assembly over the plain end of the pushrod
wire. Position the throttle stick and the throttle
trim at their lowest positions.
4. Manually push the carburator barrel fully closed.
Angle the arm back about 45 degree from
center and attach the servo arm onto the servo.
With the carburator barrel fully closed, tighte
the set screw in the adjustable metal connector.
5. Remove the excess throttle pushrod wire using wire
cutters and install the servo arm retaining screw.
4. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill
four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl
and the side edges of the firewall.
5. Using a 3mm drill bit, enlarge the four holes in
the cowling
Enlarging the holes through the cowl will
prevent the fiberglass from splitting when the
mounting screws are installed.
6. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure
it in place using four 4mm x 16mm wood
screws.
7. Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and
pressure lines to the carburator, muffler and

transmitter and check that the control
surfaces move freely and in the
CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the
wind, this ensures that the model lands
at the slowest possible speed.
Switch on the transmitter.
Switch off the transmitter.
Check that the transmitter batteries
have adequate power.
Switch off the receiver.
Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.
Check that the wings are correctly
fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly
to the controls, land it as soon as
possible and correct the fault.
Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left
in the tank can cause corrosion and
lead to engine problems.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.
INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in
the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using
a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION
PARTS REQUIRED
· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.
1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a
guide and using masking tape, tape the servo
lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the
thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the
servo lead from the thread.
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

halves still fit correctly.
4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply
a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the
dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace
box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make
sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully
align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe
away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the
two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.
6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the
center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a
small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill
any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the
wings where they join.

1. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering
from the fuselage for the stabilizer and remove it.
8. Insert the 90 degree bend down through the
hole in the servo arm. Install one nylon snap
keeper over the wire to secure it to the arm.
Install the servo arm retaining screw and
remove the masking tape from the aileron.
9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron
linkage. After both linkages are completed,
connect both of the aileron servo leads using a
Y-harness you have purchased separately.
3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.
Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and
centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,
but don't glue anything yet.
4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,
mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and
bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /
non-permanent felt-tip pen.
5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.
When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace
box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make
sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully
align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe
away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the
two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.
6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the
center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a
small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill
any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the
wings where they join.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down
Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down
Rudder : 60mm right 60mm left
CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.
3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in
the correct directions.

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.
INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in
the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using
a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION
PARTS REQUIRED

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a
guide and using masking tape, tape the servo
lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the
thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the
servo lead from the thread.
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply
a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the
dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace
box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make
sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully
align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe
away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the
two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.
6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the
center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a
small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill
any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES
Made in Vietnam
When ready to fly, first extend the
transmitter aerial.
Operate the control sticks on the
transmitter and check that the control
surfaces move freely and in the
CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the
wind, this ensures that the model lands
at the slowest possible speed.
Switch on the transmitter.
Switch off the transmitter.
Check that the transmitter batteries
have adequate power.
Switch off the receiver.
Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.
Check that the wings are correctly
fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly
to the controls, land it as soon as
possible and correct the fault.
Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left
in the tank can cause corrosion and
lead to engine problems.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.
INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in
the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using
a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION
PARTS REQUIRED
· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.
1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the
mounting platform in the top of the fuselage. Mark
the shape of the fuselage on the left and right

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a
guide and using masking tape, tape the servo
lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the
thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the
servo lead from the thread.
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing
halves together to double check that the wing
halves still fit correctly.
4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply
a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the
dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace
box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make
sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully
align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe
away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the
two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.
6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the
center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a
small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill
any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the
wings where they join.

remove the masking tape from the aileron.
9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron
linkage. After both linkages are completed,
connect both of the aileron servo leads using a
Y-harness you have purchased separately.
3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.
Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and
centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,
but don't glue anything yet.
4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,
mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and
bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /
non-permanent felt-tip pen.
5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.
When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.
INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in
the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using
a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down
Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a
guide and using masking tape, tape the servo
lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the
thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the
servo lead from the thread.
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES
Made in Vietnam
When ready to fly, first extend the
transmitter aerial.
Operate the control sticks on the
transmitter and check that the control
surfaces move freely and in the
CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the
wind, this ensures that the model lands
at the slowest possible speed.
Switch on the transmitter.
Switch off the transmitter.
Check that the transmitter batteries
have adequate power.
Switch off the receiver.
Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.
Check that the wings are correctly
fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly
to the controls, land it as soon as
possible and correct the fault.
Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left
in the tank can cause corrosion and
lead to engine problems.

I/C FLIGHT WARNINGS
Always operate in open areas, away
from factories, hospitals, schools,
buildings and houses etc. NEVER fly
your aircraft close to people or built
up areas.
THE PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS
Keep fingers, clothing (ties, shirt
sleeves, scarves) or any other loose
objects that could be caught or drawn
in, away from the propeller. Take care
at ALL times.
Keep all onlookers (especially small
children and animals) well back from
the area of operation. This is a flying
aircraft, which will cause serious
injury in case of impact with a person
or animal.
NEVER fly near power lines, aerials
or other dangerous areas including
airports, motorways etc.
NEVER use damaged or deformed
propellers or spinners.
DO NOT dispose of empty fuel
containers on a fire, this can lead to
an explosion.
NEVER fly in wet conditions or on
windy or stormy days.
ALWAYS adjust the engine from
behind the propeller, and do not allow
any part of your body to be in line
with the propeller.
1. Mark the holes for the axles on both sides of
one wheel pant 10mm up from the bottom edge
and centered in the wheel opening. Drill 5mm
holes at the marks.
2. Cut the wheel pant at one of the holes to make
a slot. When cutting the other wheel pant later,
be certain to cut on the other side so there will
be a right and a left wheel pant.
4. Fit the assembly into the wheel pant. Use thread
lock and another nut to tighten the axle and the
wheel pant to the landing gear. Tighten the

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down
Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.
INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in
the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using
a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION
PARTS REQUIRED
· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.
1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the
mounting platform in the top of the fuselage. Mark
the shape of the fuselage on the left and right
sides of the vertical stabilizer using a felt-tip pen.

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a
guide and using masking tape, tape the servo
lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the
thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the
servo lead from the thread.
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing
halves together to double check that the wing
halves still fit correctly.
4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply
a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the
dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace
box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make
sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully
align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe
away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the
two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.
6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the
center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a
small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill
any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the
wings where they join.

keeper over the wire to secure it to the arm.
Install the servo arm retaining screw and
remove the masking tape from the aileron.
9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron
linkage. After both linkages are completed,
connect both of the aileron servo leads using a
Y-harness you have purchased separately.
3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.
Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and
centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,
but don't glue anything yet.
4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,
mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and
bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /
non-permanent felt-tip pen.
5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.
When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.

transmitter and check that the control
surfaces move freely and in the
CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the
wind, this ensures that the model lands
at the slowest possible speed.
Switch on the transmitter.
Switch off the transmitter.
Check that the transmitter batteries
have adequate power.
Switch off the receiver.
Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.
Check that the wings are correctly
fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly
to the controls, land it as soon as
possible and correct the fault.
Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left
in the tank can cause corrosion and
lead to engine problems.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to
the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.
Follow this procedure until the wing stays level
when you lift the airplane
140mm
FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many enjoyable flights with
your plane and once again thank you for
your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.
Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down
Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.
3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in
the correct directions.

SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is unique and minor
adjustments may have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.
Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to
the glow plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the
propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not
stand in line with the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from behind the
propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering
from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.
INSTALL CA HINGES FOR
AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER
Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the
recommended throws without binding.If you have
to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small
portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid
this ,you may insert a small pin through the center
of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep
the hinge centered while you control surfaces.
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops
for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned
correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30
minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in
the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using
a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal
stabilizer.
7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the
masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer
in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use
more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled
previously and clean up the excess using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a
guide and using masking tape, tape the servo
lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the
thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the
servo lead from the thread.
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES
1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace
box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make
sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom
as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to
fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the
center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it
dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

connect both of the aileron servo leads using a
Y-harness you have purchased separately.
3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.
Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and
centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,
but don't glue anything yet.
4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,
mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and
bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /
non-permanent felt-tip pen.
5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.
When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.
2. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering
from the fuselage for the vertical and remove it.

BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced
correctly. Improper balance will cause your
plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This
location is recommended for initial test flying
and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward
and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN
WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the
top side of the wing 140mm back from the
leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your
fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose
heavy. To correct this first move the battery
pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not
possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under
the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane
falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,
move the battery and receiver forward or if this
is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of
heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to
the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully
lift the airplane by the string. This may require two
people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than
the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on
both wing halves. Notice how the excess
covering material overlaps onto them. Using a
modeling knife, carefully cut out away the
covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering
down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.
It is important that the excess covering be
removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an
adequate wood to wood glue joint.
2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical
line at this location on each side of the brace.
3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each
wing half. The brace should slide into each
wing half up to the center line. If it does not,
remove the brace and lightly sand the edges
and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the
dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not
glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit
together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not
tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand
the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit
the wing halves together with the dihedral
brace installed again. Repeat until you are
satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The
proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and
should not be altered.
5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

I/C FLIGHT WARNINGS
Always operate in open areas, away
from factories, hospitals, schools,
buildings and houses etc. NEVER fly
your aircraft close to people or built
up areas.
THE PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS
Keep fingers, clothing (ties, shirt
sleeves, scarves) or any other loose
objects that could be caught or drawn
in, away from the propeller. Take care
at ALL times.
Keep all onlookers (especially small
children and animals) well back from
the area of operation. This is a flying
aircraft, which will cause serious
injury in case of impact with a person
or animal.
NEVER fly near power lines, aerials
or other dangerous areas including
airports, motorways etc.
NEVER use damaged or deformed
propellers or spinners.
DO NOT dispose of empty fuel
containers on a fire, this can lead to
an explosion.
NEVER fly in wet conditions or on
windy or stormy days.
ALWAYS adjust the engine from
behind the propeller, and do not allow
any part of your body to be in line
with the propeller.
1. Mark the holes for the axles on both sides of
one wheel pant 10mm up from the bottom edge
and centered in the wheel opening. Drill 5mm
holes at the marks.
2. Cut the wheel pant at one of the holes to make
a slot. When cutting the other wheel pant later,
be certain to cut on the other side so there will
be a right and a left wheel pant.
4. Fit the assembly into the wheel pant. Use thread
lock and another nut to tighten the axle and the
wheel pant to the landing gear. Tighten the
collars.
5. Mount the other wheel pant and wheel to the
other landing gear the same way. Be certain to
make a right and a left.
3. Prepare a wheel assembly with an axle,
washer, nut, collar wheel and another collar.
