STAGE 1 – WING ASSEMBLY.
JOINING THE WING HALVES
1.1Locate the wing joiner (also called Dihedral brace). Using the ruler, determine the center of the wing joiner and
mark it with a pencil as illustrated in 1A. Also mark a center line on each of the dowel guides.
1A- Preparation of wing joiner and dowel guides. 1B- Trial fit the wing joiner and dowel guides
1.4 Apply plenty of 30 minute epoxy to one end of the wing joiner, using a stir stick or epoxy brush. Carefully insert
the joiner into the first wing panel as illustrated in 1D, 1E and 1F, then wipe off the excess epoxy that squeezes
out of the joint with a cloth or tissue. Repeat this process several times to ensure that the wing joiner and cavity
are well coated in epoxy. When the wing joiner & cavity are well coated with 30 minute epoxy, insert the joiner to
the center line, wipe away any excess epoxy and let dry. (Note: Do not use 5 minute epoxy or CA to join the wings)
1.2 Trial fit the wing joiner into the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line as illustrated in 1B.
Now slide the other wing panel onto the wing joiner until the wing panels meet. If the fit is overly tight, sand the wing
joiner slightly and try again.
1.3 Insert the dowel guides into one of the wing panels all the way to the center lines. Apply CA glue to secure the
dowels into their places as illustrated in 1B and 1C. Do not apply CA glue to the wing joiner.
1C- Apply CA glue to secure dowels into their places 1D- Apply plenty of epoxy glue to the wing
joiner.

2.1 When the epoxy has cured in Stage 1, trial fit the second wing
panel onto the wing joiner first to ensure that the two panels fit
without an excessive gap.
2.2 Now apply plenty of epoxy to the wing joiner and wing root ribs of
both wing panels. Use only 30 minute epoxy to ensure a strong bond
and give yourself plenty of working time. As described in the Step 1.4,
repeatedly apply epoxy and insert into the wing joiner cavity, the
epoxy should ooze from the joint and the excess should be cleaned
off with a rag or tissue before it cures.
2.3 Use low tack masking tape to hold the two panels together until
the glue cures.
1E- Carefully insert the joiner all the way to the cen-
ter line
2A- Apply plenty of 30 minute epoxy
glue to all surfaces.
2C- Use low tack masking tape to hold tightly
together.
3.1 Once the epoxy has cured completely (allow several hours at least), the tape can be carefully removed from
the wing panels. Peel the tape back on itself… do not pull upright away from the wing. To seal and finish the joint
in the wings, a roll of wing joiner tape has been supplied.Starting on the bottom side of the wing, stick the tape cen-
trally over the joint ensuring that it is pressed down firmly as you work around the wing. Wrap the tape all the way
around the wing joint in one piece, starting and finishing at the wiring harness cavities at the bottom of the wing.

Engines vary quite a bit in sizes, styles and brands but
most have mounting lugs, a carburetor with a throttle
(speed) control arm, a prop washer, a prop nut and a
muffler.
The procedure we describe here assumes that you are
mounting a 2-stroke engine that has a side exhaust on
the right (when viewed from behind looking forward)
and a throttle control arm on the right.
To assemble the fuel tank you will need the following
items:
- The fuel tank and fuel stopper assembly (supplied)
- The clunk (supplied)
- About 7” (20 cm) of medium ID silicone fuel line (DUB
197 or DUB-222 or similar)

26.1 Adjust the deflection of the control surfaces to match the specifications on page 15
You can reduce the amount of throw by doing either or both of the following:
- From the servo end, move the clevis or EZ connector to a hole in the servo arm that is closer to the servo output
shaft.
- From the control horn end, move the horn out further on the threaded bolts. Always confirm that the horn is still
thoroughly engaged with the threaded bolt after you have adjusted it.
Before starting the final
set-up of the model,
switch on the radio and
ensure that all trims are
in their neutral posi-
tions. Check that the
ailerons, elevator and
rudder are centered. If
any adjustments are
needed, do these by
uncoupling the relevant
clevis and turning it
clockwise to shorten
the linkage or counter -
clockwise to lengthen it.
Only when each control
surface has been cen-
tered mechanically in
this way should you
begin adjusting the sur-
face movement (or
throw)
Now confirm
that the con-
trol surfaces
are moving
in the correct
direction.
Use the
servo revers-
ing switches
on your
transmitter to
reverse the
direction of a
servo if nec-
essary. The

STAGE 29 - INSTALLING THE RECEIVER BATTERY
STAGE 30 - INSTALLING THE RECEIVER
29.1 Consult your radio manual for instructions about hooking up your receiver battery, receiver and switch har-
ness.
29.2 Wrap the battery pack securely in foam suitable for RC equipment and wrap the foam insulated pack in a
plastic bag or cling wrap. Position the battery pack under the fuel tank or nearby.
29.3 Thread the battery pack connector back through from beneath the fuel tank to the radio compartment by
passing the battery connector through an opening beside or beneath the fuel tank.
29.4 Connect the battery connector to your radio system according to the radio manual.
30.1 Consult your radio manual for instructions about hooking up your receiver.
30.2 Plan where you are going to put the receiver with consideration for routing the antenna safely.
30.3 Wrap the receiver securely in foam suitable for RC equipment and wrap the foam insulated receiver in a
plastic bag or cling wrap.
30.4 Generally in the absence of specific instructions from the radio manufacturer, it is recommended that the
receiver should be placed where it is least likely to have impact during a crash. Keep the battery pack and other
heavy loose items ahead of the receiver.
STAGE 31 - CONFIRM RADIO OPERATION
STAGE 32 - BALANCING THE AIRCRAFT
31.1 Consult your radio manual for instructions about testing and operating your radio system.
31.2 Pay particular attention to charging your radio system batteries and range testing the system before and
after each flight.
31.3 Check that all controls are working correctly before and after each flight.
32.1 The CG for your HORNET is located at 3-1/8“ to 3-3/8" (80 - 85 mm) back from the leading edge of the wing
when the wing has been attached to the fuselage as per illustration 34A.
32.2 For the initial flight, the CG should be located at 3 1/8” (80mm) back from the leading edge of the wing
when the wing has been attached to the fuselage.
32.3 The CG is measured with the engine, radio gear and all other components installed but WITH NO FUEL IN
THE TANK.
32.4 Set up the CG as it will be when you fly it BUT WITH NO FUEL IN THE TANK.
32.5 It is very important to have the CG correct. Flying your model with the CG too far will likely lead to loss of
control and a crash.
If you discover that after you have assembled your model and installed your radio and engine that the CG of your
model is incorrect you must bring the CG to the correct location by doing the following BEFORE FLYING :
- Move the battery pack fore or aft.
- Move other components fore or aft.
- Change engine to a lighter or heavier model.
- Add weight to the nose or tail. If adding it to the nose, try to make it useful by going to a heavier duty engine
or adding a spinner with a heavy metal backing plate. As a last resort, add stick on “dead” weight where appropri-
ate.

15
33.1 Once you have confirmed that the CG is correct,
you should do a thorough review of the entire model
before your first flight. Check everything twice! Every
hook up, every coupling, everything! Do it twice!!
33.2 Before your first flight, have an experienced flyer
review your work. Do not fly your model until it has
been checked out by a third party who knows how to
fly and how to set up a model aircraft. Do not fly alone.
Seek experienced help.
33.3 Once you have completed your first flight, get in
the habit of checking your model over before and after
each flight! Don’t fly if you find something that is not
right!
