Assemble processes
1.Assembly of Tail wings
Take of the horizontal wings & vertical wings from the box. Connect the servo wires correctly according the numbers.
Then, please install the horizontal wings & vertical wings to the assembling groove at the tail parts of fuselage as per
the right direction. Besides, please lock the tail wings with screw PA2.6*12MM.
2.Assembly of the Power system (Take propeller power system as reference)

black wire of the ESC, red wire of the motor should be connected to the red wire of ESC, yellow wire of the motor should
be connected to the yellow wire of the ESC).Please insert the power system to the assembling groove at the back of
fuselage, then please lock it to fuselage by screws PA2.6*12MM.
3. Assembly of the Main Wings.
Take of the right and left main wings &connecting rod from the box. Please pull out the securing pin from
the fuselage by rotating 90°and insert the connecting rod into one of the main wings. Then please connect
the aileron servo wire and flaps servo wire as per the number, and insert the main wings into the
assembling groove of the fuselage. Please use the same way to connect the other main wings. After
finished the assemble of the right and left main wings, please be noted that the hole location of the
fuselage &right main wings& left main wings should be in one line. At last, lock them with securing pin
