Please dry fit wing joiner into left and right wing to make sure they fit with the proper
dihedral angle, mark the wing joiner if necessary. Apply epoxy glue to both sides of
all surfaces in contact. Use a stick to apply the glue to inner side of wing joiner sleeve,
and apply the glue to wing joiner before putting them together. Wing joiner not glued

Important Safety Precautions
Warning!
# 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.
# i s sp ec i a l l y d e s i g n ed t o b e p o w e r ed b y 2 C 0 . 6 0 - 0. 75 o r 4 C 0 . 91
engine, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact,
over powered engine may cause severe 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.

The ideal C.G. position is 105mm (4.13in)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.
If you are converting this model to electric, please move the C.G.
forward 10% of current C.G. distance from leading edge to
compensate for weight of fuel.

LINKAGE CONNECTOR
HW7111050 & HW7111060
Drill 2mm hole at servo horn.
Insert linkage connector
