Arising Star. Instruction Manual.
INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the Arising Star ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The Arising Star was
designed from the ground up with the beginner flyer in mind. It is a High-wing aeroplane which is
easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood and
veneer to make it stronger than the average ARTF, yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept
light.Youwillfindthatmostoftheworkhasbeendoneforyoualready.Thepushrodsarepre-made
to the correct lengths, the motor mount has been fitted and the hinges are pre-installed and pinned
for security. Flying the Arising Star is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your Arising Star. Use the parts listing below to
identify all parts.

Carefully slide the two wing halves together
and firmly press them together, allowing the
excess epoxy to run out. There should not be
any gap in the wing halves. Use rubbing
alcohol and a paper tower to clean up any
excess epoxy.
Apply masking tape at the wing join to hold
the wing halves together securely.

ATTACHMENT WING-FUSELAGE.
See pictures below:
BALANCING.
1) It is critical that your airplane be bal-
anced correctly. Improper balance will cause
yourplanetolose control and crash. The cen-
ter of gravity is located 2.5” to 3” back from
the leading edge of the wing, at the fuselage
sides. Balance the Arising Star with the fuel
tank empty.
2) Mountthe wing to thefuselage. Using
acoupleofpiecesofmasking tape, place them
on the bottom side of the wing 2.5” to 3” back
from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
When balancing the airplane you may
need to move the battery or receiver for-
ward or after to achieve proper balance.
 4) Using a 1/16” drill bit, drill a hole through
the side of the fuselage, near the receiver, for
the antenna to exit. Route the antenna out of
the fuselage and secure it to the vertical stabi-
lizer using a rubber band and a modified servo
arm. See picture as below.
3) 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
sides under the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail
of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To
correctthis,movethe battery and receiverfor-
ward orif this is not possible, stick weight onto
the firewall or use a brass heavy hub spinner
hub, similar to those offered by Harry Higley.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers.

PREFLIGHT CHECK.
1) Completely charge your transmitter
and receiver batteries before your first day of
flying.
2) Check every bolt and every glue joint
in the Arising Star to ensure that everything
is tight and well bonded.
3) Double check the balance of the air-
plane. Do this with the fuel tank empty.
4) Checkthe control surfaces. Allshould
move in the correct direction and not bind in
any way.
5) If your radio transmitter is equipped
withdualrate switches doublecheckthat they
are on the low rate setting for your first few
flights.
6) Check to ensure the control surfaces
are moving the proper amount for both low
and high rate settings.
7) Check the receiver antenna. It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.
E) Check the throttle. Moving the
throttle stick forward should open the carbu-
retor barrel. If it does not, flip the servo re-
versing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
FLIGHT PREPARATION.
C) Check the elevator first. Pull back
on the elevator stick. The elevator halves
shouldmoveup. If it they donot,flip the servo
reversingswitchonyourtransmitter to change
the direction.
D) Check the rudder. Looking from
behind the airplane, move the rudder stick to
theright. Therudder should move totheright.
Ifitdoes not, fliptheservo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
We wish you many safe and enjoy-
able flights with your Arising Star.
8) Properlybalance the propeller. Anout
of balance propeller will cause excessive vi-
bration which could lead to engine and/or air-
frame failure.
INITIAL FLYING/SPORT FLYING
Ailerons: 3/8” up 3/8” down
Elevator: 3/8 ” up 3/8” down
Rudder: 1/2” right 1/2” left
AEROBATIC FLYING
Ailerons: 1/2”up 1/2”down
Elevator: 5/8”up 5/8” down
Rudder: 1” right 1”left
Do not use the aerobatic settings for
initial test flying or sport flying.
4) By moving the position of the adjust-
able control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of that
control surface. Moving the adjustable con-
trol horn toward the control surface will in-
crease the amount of throw.
CONTROL THROWS.
2) Turnonthe radio system,and with the
trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, center
the control surfaces by making adjustments
totheclevisesoradjustableservoconnectors.
The servo arms should be centered also.
1) We highly recommend setting up the
Arising Star using the control throws listed.
We have listed control throws for both initial
test flying/sport flying and aerobatic flying.
3) When the elevator, rudder and aileron
control surfaces are centered, use a ruler and
check the amount of the control throw in each
surface. The control throws should be
measured at the widest point of each sur-
face!
F) From behind the airplane, look at
the aileron on the right wing half. Move the
aileron stick to the right. The right aileron
should move up and the other aileron should
move down. If it does not, flip the servo re-
versing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
A) Check the operation and direction
of the elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle.
B) Plug in your radio system per the
manufacture’sinstructionsandturn every thing
on.
