Install nose wheel (<^38.1 mm) to the nose gear and fix with A1 retainer. Trim the nose gear in neutralposition, then fix the push rod with a nut screw. (Pic.100.101)

• Mounting the aileron servo to the hollow of the wing with a double-side tape and drop little amount of GWSglue to secure. (Pic. 102)

• Bent one end of the push rod (Z shape) then hook up the push rod into the aileron linkage. And make a " V"shape bend (5~7mm) in the push rod as shown, then mark the position where the push rod passes the holeof the servo horn and make another Z shape for servo horn connecting. (Pic. 103)

• Repeat the procedure for the other side aileron push rod, then fix the servo horn with a screw. (Pic.104)• Mounting the receiver and speed controller with double-side adhesive tapes. (Pic.105)• Remove two excess plastic parts of the battery hatch. (Pic. 106.)• Slide the speed controller connecter to the hollow for battery connecting. (Pic.107)• Connecting the servo wire to the servo extension wire. (Pic. 108)• To fix the wing, use 03 x L30mm screw and M3 washer, screw through the hole and insert the 05x3 Grommet. (Pic. 109)

PAINTING /fH m A'lO

• Choose emulsion paint suitable for polystyrene. (Pic.110)• Before Paint, wipe all surface with medical alcohol and remove oil, dust,

dirt etc.

• For best results, hold the spray can about 20cm away from the surface. Donot over painting for the sake of each additional lay will increase the weightof the airplane. Please remember the lighter the better for the airplane.

• The C.G. (Center ofGravity) is located 50~57mm back from the leading edge ofthe wing. After all radio gears andthe battery pack is installed, checkthe C.G. point of the air plane. If the C.G. is offset, move the receiver and speedcontroller forward or backward until you find the recommended balancing point. The otherwayto balance the C.G.point is to use the supplied clay to add weight. Do not fly if the plane is notproperly balanced. (Pic. 119)

CONTROLLER FUNCTION

AND RADIO SET-UPMODE 2

• The right side stick of the transmitter (elevator and aileron)• The left side stick of the transmitter (throttle and nose steering)

ELEVATOR TEST

• Pull the stick backward then the elevator should flip up ( pull-up).• Push the stick forward then the elevator should flip down (pushing down).• When the stick is in neutral , the elevator should return to neutral position.

AILERON TEST

• Moving the stick to right, then the right side aileron should flip up and the left sideaileron should flip down.

• Moving the stick to left, then the right side aileron should flip down and the left sideaileron should flip up.

• When the stick is in neutral , the two ailerons should return to neutral position.THROTTLE TEST

• Pull the stick all the way backward and the trimmer at the 1/3 position ,then wait for 2seconds.

• Slowly push the stick forward and the power system starts to run. Now push thethrottle all the way forward and the motor should run athigh speed.

• Pull the stick all the way backward and the motor should stop.NOSE STEERING TEST

• Moving the stick to right, the nose steering should turn to the right.• Moving the stick to left, the nose steering should turn to the left.• When the stick is in neutral , the nose steering should return to neutral position.

MODE 1

• The right side stick of the transmitter (throttle and aileron)• The left side stick of the transmitter (elevator and nose steering)• If the control fin or throttle is not on the correct movement, please switch the reverse

on the transmitter.

A-10 PREFLIGHT CHECKING LIST

caution!1. It is best for you to fly your plane In a large open place.

2. Do not fly around some restricted location like airports, military bases, etc.

3. You will need to range check the transmitter to be sure you are not experiencing any

interference. (If you are flying with other RC modeler at a field, do not turn on your transmitter

until you are certain that no one else is using your channel.)

4. Always turn on the receiver last after turning on the transmitter and shut off the receiver first

before turning off the transmitter.

5. Ifyou are only a beginner to the radio control model flying, do not attempt to fly your model

without any assistance or advice from advanced expert fliers.

6. Please refer to the instruction guide carefully and thoroughly before assembling equipment kits.

Different power units and servos combination will lead to its various flight performance .

Remember the lighter the better.

TAKE OFF nil The Wind Direction

1. Apply full throttle to speed up the airplane against the wind.2. Keep the tracking straight using the nose steering during the

take-off process.3. Apply just a touch of up-elevator when the model reaches

sufficient takeoff speed and the model lifts smoothly into the air.4. Make the turn when the model is at a high altitude. Then the trim all

control surfaces to achieve the level flight.

LANDING/

nil The Wind Direction

1. Gradually reduce the throttle during the final pattern for speed down theairplane.

2. Slightly touch up-elevator to maintain a smooth ratio of the descendentprocess .Do not apply too much up-elevator otherwise the plane maygo into a stall.

3. Make a final turn against the wind and heading to the runway.4. When the altitude approximately 30cm from the ground, pull a little more

up-elevator and let the airplane nose-up and touch- down.
