1. Remove packing tape, clean and polish the wing surface.

3. Find the short servo mounts. Drill pilot holes for the servo mounting

screws.

4. Carefully roughen the wing servo mounting surface for the servo

mount using either a rotary tool on low speed or 80 grit sandpaper.

Only lightly scuff the inner surface of the wing panel to give the

epoxy something to grip. DO NOT sand through the surface of the

wing panel. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with denatured

alcohol or 91% IPA.

5. Cut 3 arms from a 4 arm servo horn.

6. Test ﬁt the servo with the servo arm

installed. Enlarge the opening in the mount

as necessary to allow the servo to sit fully

in the mount.

Test ﬁt the servo mount screws as well to

ensure they do not protrude through the

mount and damage the wing surface. If

the screws protrude, cut them off so they

are below the surface of the mount.

BUILDING PRECAUTIONS

Prepare the work surface prior to beginning the build. The surface

should be soft and free of any sharp objects. We recommend resting

the airframe parts on a soft towel or pit mat to prevent scratching or

denting the surface of the aircraft.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

When transporting and storing your model, you will need a minimum

of 80 inches (2m) in length, and 18 inches (46cm) in height to

accommodate the size of the fuselage. We also recommend the use of

wing and stabilizer bags to help protect these surfaces during transport

and storage. The control horns and linkages can cause damage to

other surfaces even when placed in storage bags. Always transport

and store the wings and stabilizer so the linkages do not contact other

panels to prevent damage.

FLUORESCENT COLOR CARE

The ﬂuorescent color used on your model can fade with exposure to

direct sunlight over time. To increase the longevity of the ﬂuorescent

color on the aircraft, limit the exposure to direct sunlight when not ﬂying.

If repairs become necessary or if you decide to color optional parts

to match the fuselage color, Tamiya spray color, PS-24, Fluorescent

Orange is a close match to the color used on the model. For best

results, PS-24 needs to be sprayed over Tamiya Fine White Primer

(TAM87044) and clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13, Clear.

OUTER WING PANELS

2. Cut an access hole in the root end of the outer wing panel using a

rotary tool.

TIP: Make the hole just large enough for the servo connector to ﬁt

through. If the hole is too big, the extension will fall back into the

wing panel when disconnected.

6EN

Measure and mark the wing panel at the servo hatch;

10mm from raised outer hatch edge and 45mm from rear raised edge.

7. Measure and mark the wing panel at the servo hatch; 10mm from

raised outer hatch edge and 45mm from rear raised edge.

When mounting the frame in the wing, the edge of the frame lines

up with the front and back marks, and the servo output lines up

with the 45mm mark.

8. Using epoxy (DLMAD64), install the servo mount to the wing panel.

Ensure the servo arm will align with the surface control horn.

The arm clearance notch should face the wingtip and the servo

lead notch should face forward. Clean any epoxy from the servo

mounting area, which may interfere with the servo ﬁtting into the

mount, with paper towel and alcohol. Allow the epoxy to cure fully.

9. Install anti-rotation pins in the root end with epoxy. Do not push the

pin in past half the length of the pin. Wipe away any excess epoxy

with paper towel and alcohol.

10. Connect a 12” servo lead extension to the aileron servo. Secure the

extension with a servo connector clip (SPMA3054) or heat shrink

tubing.

11. Use either a string with a weight attached or a long plastic pushrod

to thread the assembled servo extension through the wing panel

and out the previously cut access hole.

TIP: Feed the string or plastic rod through the access hole to the

servo hatch and attach the servo lead to the end. Pull the servo

lead end back through the access hole.

12. Install the servo arm. Install the servo in the mount using short

servo screws (2 x 8mm).

13. Carefully measure and cut the hole in the hatch for the servo arm

using a rotary tool or hobby knife. Test ﬁt the hatch often to ensure

adequate clearance of the servo arm through full travel of the

servo. Round the outside corners of the hatch to fully ﬁt into the

recessed mounting area of the wing panel.

14. Cut a piece of white UltraTrim (HANU80000) adhesive ﬁlm about

3cm larger than the size of the servo hatch.

15. Peel and stick the adhesive ﬁlm to the ﬁnished side of the servo hatch.

TIP: Start at the center of the hatch and carefully press any air

bubbles and wrinkles out of the ﬁlm as you work your way to the

edges.

Cut and remove the hole for the servo arm. Trim the ﬁlm to

approximately 10mm past the edge of the hatch and ease the

corners as shown to help prevent the corners from lifting after use.

16. Carefully install the servo hatch to the wing panel by placing the

hatch in the recess of the wing panel and pressing the ﬁlm to the

wing panel around the perimeter of the hatch. Work outward from

the hatch to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles.

17. With the aileron held at center, measure between the holes of the

servo arm and the control horn.

18. Set the length of the aileron pushrod to the measurement above by

turning in or out on the clevis at either end of the pushrod. When

the correct length is achieved, apply thread locking compound and

tighten the nuts against the clevis. Try to center the threaded rod

between the two clevises.

TIP: The excess threaded rod may be cut off, if desired. Leave

enough of the rod that at least 3 threads are visible on the inside of

the clevis, as shown.

19. Install the pushrod to the servo and control surface horns. Ensure

the control surface is centered when the servo is at neutral.

20. Repeat steps 1–19 for the opposite outer wing panel.

2. Lay the ﬁnished outer wing panel next to the inner wing panel as

shown. Mark the location of the outer wing access hole on the

inner wing panel.

4. Connect a 48” and 24” servo extension together to create an inner

aileron extension. Secure with a clip or heat shrink tubing.

3. Cut access holes in both the outer and root ends of the inner

wing panel. The holes should be just large enough to ﬁt the servo

connectors through to keep the ends from falling back into the

wing.

5. Insert a long plastic pushrod or weighted string through the cut

access hole in either end of the panel and out the ﬂap servo hatch.

Attach one end of the assembled aileron servo extension to the

pushrod. Pull the extension end through the wing panel and out the

access hole. Tape the extension end to the end of the wing panel.

Repeat the procedure from the other end of the panel to pull the

opposite end of the aileron servo extension through the access

hole in the other end of the wing panel.

INNER WING PANELS

1. Remove packing tape, clean and polish the wing surface.

8EN

10mm

6. Connect an 18” servo extension to the spoiler lead and secure it

with a clip or heat shrink tubing. Thread the extension through the

inner end of the wing panel as before.

11. Install the ﬂap servo mount using epoxy. Align the mount with the

marks made in the previous step. Remove any epoxy that squeezes

into the mounting lug slots or the inner base of the mount which

may interfere with the servo. Ensure the mount bonds to the wing

spar as well as the surface and that the servo arm will align with

the ﬂap control horn. Allow epoxy to fully cure.

8. Carefully trim the webs from the servo mounting lugs. Test ﬁt the

servo in the servo mount. The servo should be a very snug ﬁt in the

mount.

13. Center the servo and install the control horn angled slightly toward

the trailing edge of the wing.

14. Slide the servo into the mount as shown.

7. Using hot glue or contact adhesive, such as Deluxe Systems

Foam2Foam (DLMAD34), secure the aileron and spoiler leads to

the spar at the front of the servo hatch. Doing so will keep the leads

from shifting and interfering with the ﬂap servo arm and pushrod.

12. Cut the ﬂap servo arm to length.

9. Carefully scuff the wing ﬂap servo mounting surface for the servo

mount using either a rotary tool on low speed or 80 grit sandpaper.

Only lightly scuff the inner surface of the wing panel to give the

epoxy something to grip. DO NOT sand through the surface of the

wing panel. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with denatured

alcohol or IPA.

15. Using the acetate template provided, create a servo retention plate

using 1/8” and 1/16” ply.

10. Measure and mark the ﬂap servo hatch opening, 12mm from the

rear recess line and 17mm from the outer recess line, as shown in

the illustration.

17mm

16. Secure the servo in the mount with the servo retention plate and

two screws. Ensure the screw heads sit below the servo hatch

mounting surface and the screws don’t damage the outer surface

of the wing panel.

17. Connect a 24” servo extension to the servo lead and secure with

a clip or heat shrink tubing. Thread the extension through the

wing root end of the wing panel, using a long plastic pushrod or

weighted string as before.

18. Cut the pushrods to 79mm length.

19. Install the pushrod to the ﬂap horn and servo arm. Deﬂect the ﬂap

down and insert one end of the pushrod through the hole in the

trailing edge of the wing and connect it to the servo arm. Connect

the other end of the pushrod to the ﬂap control horn.

20. Install the servo hatch to the wing with tape as done on the outer

wing panel.

21. Install anti-rotation pins in the root end of the panel with epoxy.

Wipe away any excess epoxy with paper towel and alcohol.

22. Trim and attach the ﬂap pushrod exit cover to the top of the wing

using contact cement.

23. Repeat steps 1–22 for the opposite inner wing panel.

10EN

13mm

1. Clean and polish the fuselage.

2. Remove the tailwheel using a 2.5mm hex driver.

3. Feed a weighted string or long ﬂexible pushrod through the elevator

servo opening, through the vertical ﬁn, through the small hole in

front of the rudder servo opening and up through the fuselage

tail. This will be used later to pull the rudder and elevator servo

extensions through the fuselage.

4. Trim a servo arm to 13mm.

5. Center the rudder servo and install the servo arm.

6. A 60” servo extension is required for the rudder servo. Connect a

48” and a 12” extension to the rudder servo. Secure all connections

with servo extension clips or heat shrink tubing.

RUDDER INSTALLATION

1. Slide the winglet blade into the winglet slot.

2. Slide the assembly into the slot in the outer wing panel tip.

3. Trim the winglet blade to length, if necessary, to achieve a tight ﬁt

of the winglet against the wing panel. There should not be a gap

between the panel and the winglet.

4. The blade should be a tight ﬁt in both the winglet and the outer

wing panel. The winglet should be taped in place for added

security.

WINGLET INSTALLATION

5. Using epoxy, attach a wing tip wheel to the outer wing panel

bottom, near the tip.

TIP: Use ﬁne grit sandpaper or a scouring pad to very lightly scuff

the surface of the wing panel where the wheel will be attached to

give the epoxy something to grip.

Repeat steps 1-5 for the opposite wingtip.

11 EN

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

12. Push the rudder over the hinge points in the ﬁn.

13. Carefully insert the rudder hinge pin through the hole in the top of

the rudder and feed it fully through each of the hinge points until it

exits through the bottom of the rudder.

TIP: The hinge pin is a tight friction ﬁt. It may be necessary to lightly

push or pull on the rudder as the pin is inserted to get the pin to

seat fully. Do not force the pin through. If you feel resistance, move

the rudder slightly and continue to insert the pin.

14. When fully inserted, the hinge pin may be taped at the top of the

rudder if desired or if the hinge pin is excessively loose.

95mm

7. Trim the rudder pushrod so the ﬁnished length is 95mm between

the clevis pins. Attach one end of the pushrod to the rudder servo

arm.

8. With the fuselage upside down in a stand, feed the servo extension

through the rudder servo cutout and out the elevator servo cutout at

the top of the ﬁn. This extension will be pulled through the fuselage

with the elevator servo extension later.

9. Install the rudder servo through the tailwheel opening and into the

servo mount. The servo is installed with the output shaft toward

the front of the aircraft and the servo arm toward the left side of

the fuselage. Feed the open end of the pushrod through the molded

opening in the tail as you ﬁt the servo into place. Keep some tension

on the servo lead to ensure the lead is not pinched in the opening.

TIP: Use a magnetic screwdriver or attach a small magnet to a

regular screwdriver to install the servo screws.

10. Rotate the servo horn so the pushrod extends out the back of the ﬁn.

11. Attach the rudder control horn to the pushrod.

12EN

53mm

10mm

1. A 72” servo extension is required for the elevator servo. Connect

a 48” and a 24” extension together and connect to the elevator

servo. Secure all connections with clips or heat shrink tubing.

2. Tape the ends of the rudder and elevator servo extensions to

the end of the ﬂexible pushrod or string that was inserted in the

fuselage earlier. Carefully pull the servo extensions through the

fuselage and up to the cockpit.

3. Fit the elevator servo into place with the output shaft toward the

front of the aircraft. Ensure the servo lead is not pinched.

4. Trim the elevator pushrod so the ﬁnished length is 53mm between

the clevis pins. The clevises should be at 90° to each other.

5. Trim the elevator servo arm to 10mm.

6. Attach one end of the pushrod to the elevator servo arm and the

other end to the elevator control horn.

7. Feed the elevator pushrod with the servo arm attached through the

top of the ﬁn. Center the elevator servo. Attach the servo horn to

the servo output shaft at 90° as shown in the illustration.

8. Attach the horizontal stab to the ﬁn using two M4 X 20mm ﬂathead

screws.

ELEVATOR INSTALLATION

13 EN

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

2. Install the tow release servo into the nose of the fuselage. Slide

the release wire through the small hole in the front of the cockpit.

Attach the arm to the servo, ensuring the wire fully opens at one end

of the servo travel and fully closes at the opposite end of travel.

IMPORTANT: While the spoilers and retract will operate on 7.2V, for increased longevity and reliability, we recommend

regulating the power input of these components to 5.2V with the use of an inline voltage regulator, such as SPMVR5203.

If the retract is slow to operate or does not retract to the fully locked position at the regulated voltage, run the retract

directly to the receiver at 7.2V.

IMPORTANT: If you are installing the electric power option, skip this

section and see the optional electric power installation secton.

1. Carefully cut the rear of the cockpit ﬂoor in the area shown.

2. Connect the gear and spoiler channels from the receiver to the

input ports of the regulator.

3. Connect the output ports of the regulator to the gear lead and the

spoiler y-harness.

4. Route all servo leads from the tail to the forward fuselage, keeping

them as organized as possible. Use wire ties or hook and loop tape

to secure the leads in the fuselage.

5. Prepare six 18-inch servo leads; two for ailerons, two for ﬂaps and

two for spoilers.

TIP: Use different colored tape wrapped around the ends of the

leads to differentiate which leads go to which control surface.

6. Connect all servo leads to the appropriate receiver ports.

7. Mount the receiver under the rear of the cockpit ﬂoor as shown. If

necessary, use small pieces of foam or hook and loop tape to hold

the receiver in place.

TIP: If desired, cut holes in the rear of the cockpit ﬂoor and route

the servo leads to the receiver.

8. Temporarily mount the receiver batteries as far forward in the

cockpit as possible. The battery location will be ﬁnalized after the

correct center of gravity has been established. The unpowered, glider version will have the batteries mounted as

far forward as possible, along with additional nose weight.

The electric powered version does not require additional nose weight to balance, and depending on the motor

battery used, may require the receiver batteries to be moved rearward.

1. Install the tow release wire to the servo arm.

TOW RELEASE INSTALLATION RADIO INSTALLATION

14EN

COCKPIT INSTALLATION

1. Install the ﬁberglass cockpit tub. Squeeze gently on the sides of

the tub to ﬁt it between and under the molded fuselage sides.

The holes in the tub should line up with the holes in the fuselage.

It is not necessary to secure the tub to the fuselage. The tub is

removable to allow for access to the rear of the fuselage and the

lower cockpit area.

2. Install an optional pilot into the tub for added scale realism if

desired. It is not necessary to secure the pilot to the tub.

TIP: Hangar 9 has partnered with two companies who offer

custom pilots; www.warbirdpilots.com in the United States and

www.tailoredpilots.com in the United Kingdom offer very detailed

pilot ﬁgures to suit the ASH 31.

3. Install the canopy to the fuselage by inserting the pin at the front

of the canopy into the hole at the front of the fuselage and rotating

the back of the canopy down against the fuselage, ensuring the

side alignment lugs insert into the holes in the fuselage.

4. Slide the wire canopy lock, located under the left wing root, in until

the canopy is secured. It may be necessary to press gently on the

back of the canopy to get it to latch fully. The wire lock is purposely

a tight ﬁt to prevent coming loose in ﬂight.

OPTIONAL ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. Roughen one side of each of the motor mount pieces using 80 grit

sandpaper.

2. Using 5-minute epoxy, glue the roughened sides of the two motor

mount pieces together, ensuring the holes line up accurately. Clean

up any excess epoxy with alcohol and a paper towel. Clamp the

pieces together until the epoxy fully cures.

3. Trace a line around one side of the mount approximately 1.5mm

from the outer edge, as shown.

4. Using the line as a guide, sand a bevel on the edge of the mount by

sanding across the edge, from the back corner to the line.

5. Using 1/8” tape, mark a line 25mm back from the nose of the

fuselage.

15 EN

ASH 31 6.4M ARF

6. Carefully cut the nose away from the fuselage using a rotary tool

with a cutoff disk. Do not cut all the way to the tape. Leave some

excess to be sanded away later.

7. Following the instructions included with the motor, change the

motor shaft orientation for mounting the motor to the back of the

mount.

8. Attach the motor mount to the motor using screws provided with

the motor. If necessary, use a countersink to bevel the holes in

the mounting plate. Ensure the narrow side of the edge bevel

previously sanded into the mount is facing away from the motor.

9. Insert the motor and mount into the nose of the fuselage from the

inside.

10. Press the propeller adapter onto the motor shaft and loosely install

the propeller nut. Install the spinner over the propeller adapter.

Ensure the spinner is fully seated over the adapter. Install the

spinner center screw.

11. Press the motor forward and tighten the spinner center screw

while pressing against the motor. Tighten the screw just enough

to hold the motor in place but still allow for adjusting the spinner

placement against the fuselage.

12. Use the spinner to correctly align the motor with the nose of the

fuselage.

13. When the alignment is correct, hold the motor steady from the

inside of the fuselage and carefully remove the spinner assembly

by loosening the spinner center screw, being careful to not move

the motor. Slide the spinner assembly off of the motor shaft.

14. With the spinner removed, temporarily tack the motor mount to the

fuselage with a couple drops of medium CA and accelerator around

the mounting ring.

15. Remove the motor mount screws and remove the motor, being

careful not to break the motor mount loose from the fuselage.

16. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Apply a generous bead of epoxy around

the joint between the mount and fuselage, both in front of and

behind the motor mount. Press the epoxy into the joint and smooth

it to form a ﬁllet. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before continuing.

16EN

17. Temporarily install the motor and spinner assembly.

18. Measure and mark 1mm back from the spinner around the

fuselage.

19. Remove the spinner assembly and motor and sand the front of the

fuselage back to the line.

TIP: Use a sanding block to keep the front of the fuselage straight.

Remove material slowly and check the progress often. The goal is

to get a perfectly straight line that is parallel with the back of the

spinner around the circumference of the fuselage.

20. Mount the motor to the motor mount using medium thread locking

compound.

21. Use hook and loop tape or servo tape to install the ESC in the

cockpit.

22. Connect the motor leads to the ESC following the instructions

included with the motor and ESC.

23. Connect the ESC throttle lead to the appropriate reciever port.

24. Cut and remove the section of the cockpit ﬂoor shown.

25. Mount the motor battery in the cockpit ﬂoor and secure using hook

and loop straps through the pre-cut holes in the cockpit ﬂoor.

26. Mount the receiver batteries at the rear of the cockpit. The receiver

batteries can be moved accordingly to adjust the balance of the

aircraft. When using the recommended optional power system

components no additional ballast should be required. However,

proceed to the Balancing the Aircraft section to conﬁrm the correct

center of gravity.

CAUTION: Never attempt to ﬂy without properly balancing the

aircraft. An un-balanced aircraft will be extremely unstable and

may cause a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

27. Prepare the spinner yoke by installing the tapered shaft and nut.

Do not tighten the nut at this time.

28. Check the ﬁt of the propeller blades to the yoke. The blade should

move freely when the pin is installed. If not, lightly sand the blades

where they contact the yoke to allow free movement.

29. Once the blades ﬁt the yoke, use the pins and clips to secure the

blades to the yoke. Ensure the front of the blades are facing toward

the notched side of the yoke.

30. Fit the assembly to the motor shaft. Check that the yoke can rotate

freely and not contact the front of the fuselage through its full

rotation. Use a 12mm wrench to tighten the nut, securing the yoke

and adapter.

31. Install the spinner, making sure it ﬁts into the notches in the

propeller yoke. Use the screw provided with the spinner and a

#1Phillips screwdriver to secure the spinner to the adapter.

TIP: The spinner and propeller blades may be painted to match

the ﬂuorescent orange of the aircraft nose, using the products

mentioned in the Fluorescent Color Care section, making the

spinner and propeller almost invisible during ﬂight.

1. Cut a hole in the wing root of the fuselage for the various servo leads

from the wing. Ensure the hole aligns with the hole previously cut in

the root of the inner wing panel and it is large enough to allow the

servo lead connectors to pass through. Use sandpaper to remove

any sharp edges around the hole.

2. Insert the wing joiner into the fuselage. The joiner should be a snug

ﬁt in the fuselage opening. Ensure the joiner is centered in the

fuselage.

3. Slide the inner wing panels over the ends of the wing joiner,

connecting the servo leads and inserting the wing alignment pin in

the fuselage as you slide the panel on.

4. Thread the wing retention nut onto the threaded wing stud from

the inside of the fuselage. Hand tighten the retention nut, ensuring

the various servo leads are not pinched between the wing and the

fuselage.

5. Slide an outer wing tube into the outer end of the inner wing panel.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: Always ensure the wing is clean, dry and free from any dust or

debris prior to installing the tape.

NOTICE: Do not re-use the tape after disassembling the wing. Use new

tape every time the wing is reassembled.

6. Slide the outer wing panels over the wingtube until the outer panel

contacts the inner panel. Ensure the wing alignment pin is inserted

into the wing alignment hole.

7. Wrap the seam between the inner and outer panel with tape. Ensure

the tape does not interfere with the operation of the wing control

surfaces. White PVC electrical tape is recommended. We have found

this tape to be more than sufﬁcient to retain the outer wing panels in

ﬂight, even during aggressive aerobatic maneuvers.

8. Install the tip winglet as described in the Winglet Installation section.

9. Repeat steps 1-8 for the opposite wing.

10. Install the cockpit shell, pilot and canopy to the fuselage.

18EN

2. The recommended center of gravity (CG) location for your model

is 23/8–35/16 inches (60–85 mm) back from the leading edge of

the wing at the root. Mark the CG location on the wings with tape

or a marker. Balance your model upright with your ﬁngers or a

balancing stand supporting the model at the marks made on the

bottom of the wing.

3. Support the aircraft upright at the marks made on the wing with

your ﬁngers or a commercially available balancing stand.

If you are building the unpowered, tow launch version, proceed to

step 5.

4. If you are building the electric powered version, move the receiver

batteries forward or backward in the cockpit until the aircraft sits

level or slightly nose down on the balancing stand. When the proper

center of gravity is achieved, mount the receiver batteries to the

fuselage using hook and loop tape.

Proceed to the Control Throws section.

TIP: If the proper balance point cannot be achieved with the receiver

batteries fully forward, add self-adhesive weight until the aircraft

balances.

BALANCING THE AIRCRAFT

CAUTION: DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Never attempt to ﬂy

without properly balancing the aircraft. An un-balanced aircraft

will be extremely unstable and may cause a crash. Crash damage is

not covered under warranty.

1. Attach the wing panels, canopy and tail surfaces to the fuselage.

Make sure to connect the leads from the aileron, ﬂaps and spoilers

to the appropriate leads from the receiver. Make sure the leads are

not exposed outside the fuselage before tightening the wing bolts.

Your model should be powered OFF, in an otherwise ﬂight-ready

state prior to balancing.

Add ballast to the nose of the aircraft until the fuselage sits level

or slightly nose-down on the balancing stand.

TIP: Tape a plastic bag to the outside of the nose of the fuselage

and add weight, such as lead shot or Deluxe Materials Liquid

Gravity (DLMBD38) to the bag until the aircraft balances.

5. Remove the wings, canopy and ﬂight batteries from the fuselage,

and carefully stand the fuselage up on its nose.

6. Mix the ballast from step 5 with epoxy and micro balloons and add to

the inside of the nose of the fuselage. Allow the mixture to fully cure.

TIP: An alternative to adding the ballast directly to the fuselage

is to use the spinner from the Hangar 9 RV-4 (HAN488509) as a

mold to hold the epoxy/ballast mixture until it cures. This spinner

is an almost perfect match to the shape of the ASH nose. Pour the

ballast mixture into the spinner. After fully curing, the mixture can

be removed from the spinner and securely mounted in the nose of

the fuselage with epoxy.

Return the ﬂight batteries to their position in the cockpit and

secure their location.

PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST

• Charge the transmitter, receiver and motor batteries. Follow the instructions provided with the charger. Follow all

manufacturer’s instructions for your electronic components.

• Check the radio installation and make sure all control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder, ﬂaps and spoilers) move

correctly (i.e., the correct direction and with the recommended throws).

• Check all the hardware (control horns, servo horns, and clevises) to make sure they are secure and in good condition.

• Prior to each ﬂying session (and especially with a new model), perform a range check of your radio system. See your

radio manual for the recommended range and instructions for your particular radio system.

DAILY FLIGHT CHECKS

• Check the battery voltage of the transmitter battery. Do not ﬂy below the manufacturer’s recommended voltage.

Doing so can cause your aircraft to crash.

• Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, and bolts) prior to each day’s ﬂight. Ensure that binding does not occur

and that all parts are properly secured.

• Ensure all surfaces are moving in the proper manner.

• Perform a ground range check before each day’s ﬂying session.

• All servo leads and switch harness plugs should be secured in the receiver.

CONTROL THROWS

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.

When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the

transmitter if necessary.

2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom of the

transmitter will make the airplane elevator move up.

3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will make the right

aileron move up and the left aileron move down.

4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons and rudder.

• In Landing or Soaring Mode, the ailerons will move independent from the ﬂaperons.

• In Landing or Soaring Mode, droop the entire trailing edge (ﬂaperons and ailerons) down 1/8–5/32 inches (3–4mm).

• In Cruise or Launch Mode, couple the ailerons and ﬂaperons for full roll control.

• In Cruise or Launch Mode, reﬂex the entire trailing edge (ﬂaperons and ailerons) up 1/8–5/32 inches (3–4mm).

• Use a slider to control the ﬂaperon throw so the amount of travel can be varied.

• We recommend lowering the ﬂaperons 3/8 inches (10mm) during Rise-Off-Ground (ROG) takeoffs and

during aero-tow.

• Set the rudder throw to an amount that will not bind the servo.

• Set the maximum ﬂaperon throw to an amount that will not bind the servo.

These are general guidelines measured from our own ﬂight tests. You can experiment with higher rates to match your

preferred style of ﬂying.

Travel Adjust and Sub-Trims are not listed and should be adjusted according to each individual model and preference.

Always install the control horns 90 degrees to the servo center line. Use sub-trim as a last resort to center the servos.

Always re-binding the radio system once all of the control throws are set to keep the servos from moving to their

endpoints until the transmitter and receiver connect.
