Caution: this model is not a toy!If you are a beginner to this type of poweredmodel, please ask an experienced model flyerfor help and support. If you attempt to operatethe model without knowing what you are doingyou could easily injure yourself or somebodyelse. Please keep your safety and well-beingin mind at all times.
Important: before you start constructionEven if you have already built a large numberof RC models please read right through theseinstructions and check all the kit componentsagainst the parts list. We have taken greattrouble to keep construction as simple aspossible, without making any compromisesin the area of safety.
Note regarding the film coveringMinor creases or bubbles may develop in thefilm covering due to major fluctuations inweather conditions (temperature, humidityetc.); in rare cases you may even find a slightwarp in a component. These minor faults arein the nature of film-covered built-up woodenstructures, and can easily be corrected usinga heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.
Caution! do not heat the film more than isabsolutely necessary. If the air or the iron istoo hot, the film may melt and holes may beformed.This model is highly pre-fabricated and canbe built in a very short time. However, the workwhich you have to carry out is important andmust be done carefully. The model will onlybe strong and fly well if you complete yourtasks competently - so please work slowly andaccurately.
When self-tapping screws have to bescrewed into wood, apply a little white glueto prevent them shaking loose: just squirtwhite glue into the hole and fit the screw.
+ This is not a toy + Be sure that no other flyers are using yourradio frequency. + Do not smoke near fuel + Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away fromchildren and pets. + Wear safety glasses. +The glow plug clip must be securely attachedto the glow plug. + Do not flip the propeller with your fingers. + Keep loose clothing and wires away fromthe propeller. + Do not start the engine if people are near.Do not stand in line with the side of the propel-ler. + Make engine adjustments from behind thepropeller only. Do not reach around the spin-ning propeller.
SAFETY PRECAUTION.
REPLACEMENT LARGE PARTS
Creases: Blow warm air over the areaand rub down with a softcloth.

4) Carefully bend the third nylon tube downat a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter).This tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve.
5) Test fit the stopper assembly into thetank. It may be necessary to remove some ofthe flashing around the tank opening usinga modeling knife. If flashing is present, makesure none of it falls into the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment ofthe stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mmmachine screw until the rubber stopper ex-pands and seals the tank opening. Do not overtighten the assembly as this could cause thetank to split.
8) Feed three lines through the fuel tankcompartment and through the pre-drilled holein the firewall. Pull the lines out from behindthe engine, while guiding the fuel tank intoplace. Push the fuel tank as far forward aspossible, the front of the tank should just abouttouch the back of the firewall.
7) Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths offuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube inthe stopper.
Blow through one of the lines to ensurethe fuel lines have not become kinked insidethe fuel tank compartment. Air should flowthrough easily.
9) To secure the fuel tank in place, apply abead of silicon sealer to the forward area ofthe tank, where it exits the fuselage behind theengine mounting box and to the rear of the tankat the forward bulkhead.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Placeyour fingers on the masking tape and care-fully lift the plane .
1) It is critical that your airplane be bal-anced correctly. Improper balance will causeyour plane to lose control and crash.THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED115MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGEOF THE WING.
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using acouple of pieces of masking tape, place themon the top side of the wing 115mm back fromthe leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
BALANCING.
Accurately mark the balance point on the topof the wing on both sides of the fuselage. Thebalance point is located 115mm back from theleading edge. This is the balance point at whichyour model should balance for your first flights.Later, you may wish to experiment by shiftingthe balance up to 10mm forward or back tochange the flying characteristics. Moving thebalance forward may improve the smooth-ness and arrow- like tracking, but it may thenrequire more speed for take off and make itmore difficult to slow down for landing. Movingthe balance aft makes the model more agilewith a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case,please start at the location we recommend . With the wing attached to the fuselage, allparts of the model installed ( ready to fly), andempty fuel tanks, hold the model at themarked balance point with the stabilizer level. Lift the model. If the tail drops when youlift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must addweigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it is “noseheavy” and you must add weight* to the tail tobalance.*If possible, first attempt to balance the modelby changing the position of the receiver bat-tery and receiver. If you are unable to obtaingood balance by doing so, then it will be nec-essary to add weight to the nose or tail toachieve the proper balance point.
