SebArt professional line Mini Avanti
1.4m ARF Jet for EDF or P20 micro-turbine
Instruction Manual
The all new Mini Avanti Jet 1.4m ARF was designed by Italian champion aerobatic pilot Sebastiano
Silvestri. This sport ARF jet-model design is based on the Hawk full size aircraft design and modified
by adding the ultimate aerodynamic ideas of modern pattern models and using Seba’s 15 years
experience in flying jets.... the result is surprising! This innovative design combined with the
lightweight structure, the fiberglass fuselage and all wood airframe wings and stabs, give the Mini
Avanti Jet 1.4m ARF an impressive precision and smoothness at any airspeed and flight condition.
Thanks to this low wing loading and the powerful 90mm 12 blades EDF or the P20 micro-turbine, it
can be a fantastic aerobatic jet-trainer… you will be amazed with your new Mini Avanti Jet ARF !
.....the only aerobatic limit to unlimited fun is your imagination!

Warning: This RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to
property. Fly only in open areas, preferably at official flying sites, following all instructions included
with your radio and motor.
Before starting the assembly, remove each part from its bag and protection for a prior inspection.
Closely inspect the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you find any damage
or missing parts, contact the place of purchase. If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat
gun or covering iron to remove them. Use caution while working around areas where the covering
material overlaps to prevent separating the covering.

RADIO SET UP: For more realistic jet flying, more stable and easier control in the wind, we
recommend the use of a 3 axis gyro system such as the Dualsky FC150, the Spektrum AR7350 or
AR9350 receiver or the JR Axis receiver.
Flaps: We recommend the use of flaps down for take-off and landings to make them shorter and
easier. Activate the FLAP function in your radio. For take-off use approx. 20° flaps down and mix 8%
elevator down . For landing use approx. 50° full flap down and mix 20% elevator down
Control throws:
- For the AILERON we recommend the following throws: Use approx. 10% aileron differential (more
up) for normal flight. High rate: 30° left & right Normal flight: D/R: 60% Expo: 10% Snap, spin: D/R:
100% Expo: 40% Start & landing: D/R: 100% Expo: 40%
- For the ELEVATOR we recommend the following throws: High rate: 35° up & down Normal flight:
D/R: 50% Expo: 40% Snap, spin: D/R: 100% Expo: 80% Start & landing: D/R: 100% Expo: 80%
- For the RUDDER we recommend the following throws: High rate: 35° left & right Normal flight:
D/R: 80% Expo: 20% Snap, spin: D/R: 100% Expo: 60% Start & landing: D/R: 100% Expo: 60% Note:
the Expo is (+) for JR systems, and (–) for Futaba systems.
Mixing: We recommend the following mix (if you have a programmable computer radio): Rudder
→Elevator DOWN full rudder to the right, the elevator have to go down (negative) approx. 4% full
rudder to the left, the elevator have to go down (negative) approx. 4% Rudder →Ailerons full
rudder to the right, the ailerons have to go left approx. 7% full rudder to the left, the ailerons have
to go right approx. 7%
Centre of Gravity: the recommended CG is 145mm behind the leading edge of the wing.

Pre-flight: Never attempt to make full throttle dives! This model must be flown like a full scale
airplane. If the airframe goes too fast, such as in a high throttle dive, it may fail. Throttle
management is absolutely necessary.
Range test your radio - Before you fly this model for the first time, be sure to range check your radio
as per manufacturer’s instructions. Double-check all controls (aileron, flaps, elevator, rudder and
throttle) move in the correct direction. Be sure that your motor battery pack is fully charged, as per
the instructions included with your batteries and that your radio is fully charged as per its
instructions. Finally... we hope you have nice flights with this model!
