! Make sure to glue
securely, If not properly
glued, a failure in flight may
occur.
1-Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain
that there are no gaps. If the parts will join,
but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts a little
at a time until the parts meet exactly with no
gaps.
2-Check for the correct dihedral angle
Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned, Firmly press the two
halves together, allowing the excess epoxy run out. Clean off the excess epoxy
3-When joining the wing halves it is extremely important to use plenty of epoxy (30 minutes epoxy).

IMPORTANT:
Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use
kerosene to keep the colour of your model not fade.

1- Locate the main landing gear struts and place
them into the landing gear slot as show. Make
sure that the ends of the struts are inserted into
the holes in the landing gear channel.
2- Position the four nylon straps across the landing
gear struts. Using the eight 3x12mm screws
located in the hardware bag, fasten the landing
gear to the bottom of the wing as show.
3- Slide one wheel onto each of the
landing gear axles and secure them
with the supplied wheel collars
* WARNING: When removing any covering from the airframe,
please ensure that you secure the cut edge with CA or similar
cement. This will ensure the covering remain tight.

1-Insert the Z-bend into the hole on the throttle lever of your engine. Note: It maybe
easier to temporarily remove the carburetor from the engine to insert the Z-bend.
It may also be necessary to slightly enlarge the hole to accept the Z-bend.

2-Set the engine on the engine mounting beams. Adjust the pacing of the beams
so they are centered in the relation to the mounting plate and so they are almost
touching both sides of the engine crankcase.
3-Position the engine on the engine mount beams so the distance from the prop
hub to the fire wall is 5mm
4-Using a pencil, mark the engine mounting plate where the four holes are to be
drilled
5-Remove the engine and drill a 9/64”(3.5mm) hole through the beam at each of
the four marks made in step 4 above.
6-Reposition the engine on the mounting beam, aligning it with the holes. Secure
it in place with the four 1/8x25/32”(3x20mm) screws.
1-Securely attach the nose gear mount to the fire-
wall using the four 3x15mm screws
2-Insert the white plastic tube into the fuselage,
through the firewall.
3-Insert the Z-bend of the nose gear control pushrod
into the hole on the nose gear control horn.
4-Insert the pushrod into the plastic tube
5-Position the nose gear control horn on the center of
the nose gear mount.
6-With the screw hole facing forward,slide the straight
end of the nose gear on to the nose gear mount.
7-When satisfied with the fit and alignment, secure the
nose gear control horn in place with 1/8x13/32”(3x10mm)
set screw.

Check the alignment of the horizontal stabilizer by measuring from a fixed point along the center line of the fuselage
to the leading edge on each side of the horizontal stabilizer. The distance must be equal on both sides. If not, adjust
the stabilizer until the measurements are the same.
1-Slide the vertical and horizontal stabilizer on the fuselage, use a
pencil to trace around the bottom and the top (horizontal stabilizer)
and the right and the left (vertical stabilizer) where they are meet
the fuselage.
2-Remove the vertical and horizontal stab-
ilizer from the fuselage. Careful cut
away the covering inside the lines which
were marked in steep 1
3-Slide the horizontal and vertical stabi-
lizer into the fuselage and adjust the ali-
gnment as described. Note: it is impor-
tant
to ensure that the horizontal stabilizer
is also level in regards to the fuselage.
