The ASW 28 is one of the best scale ships to learn on. If
you have never flown a glider, you will be surprised
how docile this glider is in the air. It is a real performer,
even on light lift. The two wingspans will allow you to
explore all the soaring capability, from smooth graceful
thermaling, to power lift with ripping high speeds and
adrenalin pumping aerobatics.
1. Your ASW 28 ARF should not be considered a toy,
but rather a sophisticated, working model that
functions very much like a full-size airplane. Because of
its performance capabilities, the ASW 28 ARF, if not
assembled and operated correctly, could possibly
cause injury to you or spectators and damage to
property.
2. You must assemble the model according to the
instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as
doing so may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In
a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the
photos. In thoseinstances the written instructions
should be considered as correct.
3. You must take time to build straight, true and
strong.
4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-
class condition and components throughout the
building process.
5. You must correctly install all R/C and other
components so that the model operates correctly on
the ground and in the air.
6. You must check the operation of the model before
every flight to insure that all equipment is operating
and that the model has remained structurally sound.
Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often
and replace them if they show any signs of wear or
fatigue.
7. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not
flown this type of model before, we recommend that
you get the assistance of an experienced pilot in your
R/C club for your first flights. If you’re not a member of
a club, your local hobby shop has information about
clubs in your area whose
membership includes experienced pilots.
8. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed
normal use, if the plane will be used for extremely
high-stress flying, such as competition, the modeler is
responsible for taking steps to
reinforce the high-stress points and/or substituting
hardware more suitable for the increased stress.
9. WARNING: The fuselage and other parts included in
this kit is made of glass/carbon fiber, the fibers of
which may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract
irritation. Never blow into the fuselage to remove dust,
as the dust will blow back into your eyes.
Always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and
rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding
carbon fiber parts. Vacuum the parts and the work
area thoroughly after working with carbon fiber parts.
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a
top quality, thoroughly tested kit and instru-
ctions, but ultimately the quality and flyability
of your finished model depends on how you
build it; therefore, we cannot in any way
guarantee the performance of your completed
model, and no representations are expressed or
implied as to the performance or safety of your
completed model.
Remember:
Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight
and true.
The ASW 28 ARF requires a radio with a minimum of
four channels ( elevator, ailerons, rudder and
flaperon). The transmitter should have a throttle stick,
not a slider, especially when using
the flaperon (the stick allows for more precise throttle
control). The servos recommended for
this airplane are good quality servos with at least
3.5kg-cm and metal gears for ailrons/flaperon of
torque such as the Futaba® S3150MG Micro servo.
Should you choose a different brand of servo, make
sure they use slop-free gears and that they center well
and fit in place. Lower quality servos can cause flutter
and destroy an airplane quickly.
Our recomandation:
- ailerons: FUTABA S3150MG
- ruder, elevator: FUTABA S3050MG
Additional things needes:
- 2pcs. of servo extensions cords of cca 600mm
- 3pcs. of servo extensions cords of cca 900mm
- switch harness with charging cable
- RX battery, 4.8 or 6.0V. For long thermal flying is
better to choose high capacity batteries ( 4000
or4800mAh )
- servo locks 2pcs., for easier mounting of servos
- EPOXY and CA glue
- Flat screwdriver and sharp cutting knive
