Step 1. Insert the aluminum wing tube with the pre-drilled hole end into the right wing. Align the
lines marked at the wing root and wing tube and apply the HM3 x 45mm & HM3x35mm machine
screw through the pre-drilled hole on top of the wing. ( please confirm the alignment of the hole
by putting a 2.5mm diameter rod through the pre-drilled wing hole before applying the screw )
The hole on the wing tube is pre-threaded, do not over tighten the M3 screw, the set up is for
future removal of the wing.
Step 2. Install the right wing to the fuselage by inserting the wing tube (now attached to the right
wing) through the fuselage, then install the left wing.
Step 3. Make sure the wings are resting against the fuselage tightly. Locate the pre-drilled
2.5mm hole at top of left wing, and drill along with 2.5mm drill bit until it passes through the wing
tube. Apply the PA3x45mm & PA3x35mm self-tapping screw.
Note : It is recommended that the wing tube stays with the left wing. Removal of the wings could be acheived by removing the
right wing machine screw, the right wing then the left wing with wing tube. If removal of wing tube from left wing is also required,
it is recommended that instead of applying self-tapping screw in step 3, you pre-tap with M3 thread cutter and apply M3 machine
screw.

C.G.
The ideal C.G. position is 153mm (6 in.) behind the leading edge measured
at where the wing meets the fuselage. In order to obtain the C.G. specified,
add weight to the fuselage or move the battery position. Check the C.G.
before flying.

Important Safety Precautions
# First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced flyer is
absolutely necessary.
# Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly
pre-adjusted aircraft.
# is specially designed to be powered by 100 c.c. gasoline engine,
using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over powered
engine may cause structural damage and injuries.
# Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get too
close to a running propeller.
# If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot iron to
remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and gradually raise the
temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may damage the covering. Don't
use hot iron near the seams or edges, hot iron will melt the glue and shrink the covering at the
same time, causing the seams to pull away.
# Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.
