1- Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace.
2- Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked above.
3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be necessary to
lightly sand the dihedral brace.
4- Check for the correct dihedral angle.
5- Mix up some 30 minute epoxy and apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half.
6- Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace
into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line, marking sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly
7- Do the same way with the other wing half.
8- Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves
together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Clean off the excess epoxy.

Install one clevis onto each of the
aileron control horn. With the aileron
and the aileron servo in the neutral
position, mark the position where
each of the aileron pushrod will
attach to the servo arm. A small
piece of masking tape works well for
this.
Cut off the excess length of each rod.

Hinge Line/Control horn Alignment
Depending on the position of the linkage, determine the location
of aileron control horn.
The horn holes must be perfectly aligned with the axis of articulation.

DO NOT try to fly an out-of-balance model !
25- Balance
The recommended C.G (Center of Gravity)
location for the Hurricane is 3-1/8”(79-81mm)
Adjust the location of the battery pack as
required to achieve this C.G location.
If necessary , add weight to the nose until the
correct balance is achieve.
3-1/8”
To get the correct C.G., Several strips of
lead weight were required in the nose of
this model . To minimize the amount of
weight required, it is desirable to position
the weight as far forward as possible. This
can be done by making a platform form
leftover basswood stick and 3.2mm (1/8”)
ply wood. Using 4x35mm bolts to mount
the engine would also be long enough to
mount the flatform. The lead should be
permanently glued on with epoxy.
IMPORTANT: Recheck the C.G. After the
weight has been installed.
Securely install the nose-weight
ensuring it will not come loose during flights.

2-Using a sharp hobby knife, cut away the covering inside the lines. Not to cut into the wood.
3-Apply the air-scoop in place and secure with CA glue.
Do the same way with the Plastic wing cover.

BEFORE FLYING CHECK EVERYTHING
Before each flight, inspect the airplane for any loose parts. Check the hinges, make sure the pushrods are still firmly attached,
and check the engine mounting bolts. In general, check everything on the plane that might possibly come loose.
DO NOT FLY NEAR A POWER LINE
The power lines cause radio interference, so avoid flying near them.

Adjust the engine always from behind, but never from infront or the sides as rotating propeller may badly injure you!
Do not allow watching people to get too close to a rotating propeller.
Ensure the spinner and propeller are securely attached. Immediately disure defective propeller as well as deformed spinners.
Warning!
IMPORTANT: Please do not clean your model with pure alcohol, only use liquid soap with water or use glass cleaner
to clean on surface of your model to keep the colour not fade.
