couple of jars or bowls handy to hold
the small parts after you open the
bags.
Pleasetrialfitallparts.Makesureyou
have the correct parts and that they
fit and are aligned properly before
gluing! This will ensure proper as-
semblyasthe SPARROWHAWK is
made from natural materials and
minor adjustments may have to be
made. Thepaint andplastic parts

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2)Removeeach hinge fromthewingpanel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. This will help ensure an equal amount
ofhingeison either sideofthehingeline when
the aileron is mounted to the aileron.
HINGING THE AILERONS.
3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron.
Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron
against the wing panel.A gap of 1/64” or less
shouldbe maintained betweenthe wingpanel
andaileron.
The control surfaces, including the
ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are
prehinged with hinges installed, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is
imperativethat youproperly adhere the
hingesin placeper the steps that follow
using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
Note:
4)Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
aileronsfrontsurfaceshould lightly contactthe
wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the
hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less
will be maintained throughout the lengh of the
aileron to the wing panel hinge line.
Note: The hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick or
penetrateanddistributethroughout the
hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structureof the wingpanel and aileron.

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
8)Afterbothailerons are securelyhinged,
firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully
applying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
5)Turn the wingpanel over anddeflect the
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge,makingsurethatthe C/A penetratesinto
both the aileron and wing panel.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a
papertowel, remove anyexcess C/A gluethat
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileronhinge area.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
Work the aileron up and down several
times to “work in” the hinges and check
for proper movement.

1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut
off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes
leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the
stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.
INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY.
3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none falls into the tank.
Venttube. Fuel pick up tube.
Fuel fill tube.
5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick-up should rest away from
therear of thetank and move freely insidethe
tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
2) Usinga modelingknife, cut onelength
ofsiliconfuel line. Connectoneend oftheline
tothe weightedfuel pick up andthe otherend
to the nylon pick up tube.
Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to
permenently set the angle of the vent tube.
Important: When the stopper assembly is in-
stalled in the tank, the top of the vent tube
should rest just below the top surface of the
tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.

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 SPARROW HAWK to ensure that ev-
erything is tight and well bonded.
3) Double check the balance of the air-
plane. Do this with the fuel tank empty.
4) Checkthe controlsurfaces. All should
move in the correct direction and not bind in
any way.
2) Turnon theradio system, and with the
trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, center
the control surfaces by making adjustments
totheclevises or adjustableservoconnectors.
The servo arms should be centered also.
1) We highly recommend setting up the
SPARROW HAWK using the control throws
listed at right. We have listed control throws
for Low Rate (initial test flying/sport flying)
(aerobaticflying).
CONTROL THROWS.
 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!
FLIGHT PREPARATION.
 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.
Do not use the aerobatic settings for
initial test flying or sport flying.

sticktotheright. Therightaileronshouldmove
upand the otheraileronshould movedown. If
it does not, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
 E)Check the throttle. Moving the throttle
stick forward should open the carburetor bar-
rel. Ifitdoesnot,fliptheservoreversingswitch
on your transmitter to change the direction.
 D) Check the rudder. Looking from be-
hindthe airplane, move the rudderstick tothe
right. Theruddershould move totheright. If it
does not, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
 C) Check the elevator first. Pull back on
theelevator stick. Theelevator halves should
move up. If it they do not, flip the servo re-
versing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should
sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it
up with your fingers.
To correct this, move the battery and receiver
forward or if this is not possible, stick weight
ontothefirewalloruseabrassheavyhubspin-
ner hub.
2) If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is
noseheavy. To correct this first move thebat-
terypack further backin the fuselage. Ifthis is
not possible or does not correct it, stick small
amounts of lead weight on the fuselage sides
underthe horizontalstabilizer. Ifthe tailof the
plane falls, the plane is tail heavy.
5) If your radio transmitter is equipped
withdual rate switchesdouble checkthat they
are on the low rate setting for your first few
flights.
 A) Check the operation and direction of
the elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle.
