REMOVING WRINKLES

The covering of your model may develop wrinkles during shipping and will require the use of a heat gun (HAN100)

and covering glove (HAN150) or covering iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron sock (HAN141) to remove them. Use

caution while working around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors. Avoid using too much

heat, which could separate the colors. Placing a cool damp cloth on adjacent colors will also help in preventing the

separation of the colors while removing wrinkles.

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.

REPLACEMENT COVERING

Your model is covered with UltraCote

ﬁ lm in the following colors. If repairs are required, order these coverings to

make those repairs.

White HANU870

Black HANU874

Red HANU871

We have found the Testors Red Paint Marker (TES2503C) matched the red used on the Fokker D.VII and can be used for

touch-up on all the painted parts.

NOSE WEIGHT

To maintain the scale outline of your model, it will require the addition of nose weight to properly balance. Testing

has been performed on all power options. Using a heavier engine or motor will help in reducing the amount of weight

required. Make sure to use proper throttle management when ﬂ ying with these larger and more powerful options. Our

test aircraft with the recommended Evolution

62cc engine and mufﬂ er, and receiver and ignition batteries on either

side of the fuel tank required 1

lbs (680g) of nose weight. Using the Evolution 33GX may require the addition of up

to 6 lbs (2.7kg) to proerly balance your model. This may vary from plane to plane. Add this weight as far forward in the

fuselage as possible to reduce the amount required to balance. This weight must be secure so it does not come loose

in ﬂ ight, causing an unsafe model which could result in the loss of the aircraft.

CHECKING BLIND NUTS

When building the aircraft, you will be required to thread machine screws into blind nuts. We recommend pre-threading

the screws to make sure the blind nuts are clear of any debris. If the screws do not thread in easily, clear the threads

using the appropriate tap and tap handle.

CONTROL HORN INSTALLATION

1. Check the ﬁ t of the clevis to each of the control horns. Use a pin vise

and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to enlarge the hole if necessary.

2. Use medium-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the red aileron control

horn where it ﬁ ts into the aileron. Clean the sanded area using a

paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris or oils. This

provides the surface texture necessary for the epoxy to bond to.

 Use tape on the painted area to help prevent removing

the exposed portion of the control horn. Remove the

tape once the control horn has been sanded.

4. Test ﬁ t the aileron control horn in the slot in the aileron. It may be

necessary to trim the opening in the aileron to ﬁ t the control horn.

5. Place low-tack tape around the aileron control horn. The tape should

be 1/32-inch (1mm) from the control horn as shown.

3. Remove the aileron from the wing. Set the hinges aside in a safe

location.

6. Check that the horn is 90-degrees to the surface of the aileron. If

not, lightly trim the hole in the aileron to reposition the control horn.

7. Remove the control horn. Mix 10g of 15-minute epoxy. Apply epoxy

to the slot in the aileron. Make sure the epoxy gets into the slot for a

good bond between the aileron and control horn.

9. Before the epoxy fully cures, remove the tape from around the

control horn. This will allow the epoxy to ﬂ ow around the control

horn, creating a small ﬁ llet between the control horn and surface for

a ﬁ nished look and secure bond.

10. Insert the rudder control horn in the rudder. The tabs on the horn will

rest against the rudder.

8. Apply epoxy to the area of the control horn that ﬁ ts into the slot. Use

enough epoxy so the control horn will be fully bonded to the control

surface.

7 EN

Fokker D.VII 30–60cc ARF

11. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the control horn on both sides of the

rudder. This will indicate the area of the control horn where the paint

must be removed.

12. Remove the control horn from the rudder. Place tape against the

lines drawn to prevent removing any unwanted paint. Use medium-

grit sandpaper to lightly sand the control horn where it ﬁ ts into the

udder. Clean the sanded area using a paper towel and isopropyl

alcohol to remove any debris or oils. This provides the surface

texture necessary for the epoxy to bond to. Remove the tape once

the control horn has been sanded.

14. Remove the elevator from the stabilizer. Set the hinges aside in a

safe location.

 Place a piece of tape on the top of elevator and stabilizer so

they can be oriented in the same direction later in the manual.

15. Install the white elevator control horns to complete the control horn

installation. Follow the same procedure as the aileron control horns

to install the elevator control horns.

13. Prepare the rudder by applying tape to the rudder around the

opening for the rudder control horn. Mix 10g of 15-minute epoxy

and apply it to the sanded area of the rudder control horn. Insert the

rudder control horn in the rudder. Check to make sure the horn is

centered correctly in the rudder. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before

proceeding.

16. Place a T-pin in the center of each of the three hinges.

17. Slide the hinges into position in the aileron with the T-pin resting

against the edge of the control surface. Center the hinge in the slot

and mark the center of the hinge on the bevel of the aileron using a

felt-tipped pen.

19. Fit all three hinges to the aileron. Make sure to center the slot in the

hinge with the hole drilled in the previous step.

20. Fit the aileron to the wing by inserting the hinges into the slots in

the wing. Position the aileron so the aileron does not rub against the

wing when it moves.

18. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a hole in the

center of each hinge slot marked previously. Drill the hole 1/4-inch

(6mm) deep into the wood.

 Drilling this hole provides a tunnel for the CA to fully wick

into the hinge and surrounding surface. Failure to drill this

hole may result in a hinge that may not be glued properly.

8EN

21. Use a felt-tipped marker to mark the slot of the hinge on the wing.

22. Remove the aileron and hinges from the wing. Use a pin vise and

1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a hole at each mark. Drill the hole

1/4-inch (6mm) deep into the wood.

 Drilling this hole provides a tunnel for the CA to fully wick

into the hinge and surrounding surface. Failure to drill this

hole may result in a hinge that may not be glued properly.

24. Apply thin CA to the bottom of each of the hinges. Make sure to fully

soak the hinges so the CA can wick into the hinge and bond to the

surrounding wood.

25. Allow the CA to cure for 10 to 15 minutes. Gently pull on the ﬁ xed

surface and control surface to make sure the hinges are glued

securely. If not, apply additional CA to secure each of the hinges.

23. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any marks from

the wing and aileron. Fit the hinges and aileron back in position.

Apply thin CA to the top of each of the hinges. Make sure to fully

soak the hinges so the CA can wick into the hinge and bond to the

surrounding wood.

 Use thin CA so it wicks into the hinge. A thicker CA will

not wick into the hinge properly. Do not to allow the CA

to run over the covering on the wing and aileron.

26. Move the aileron through its range of travel to break in the hinges.

27. Check both the up and down movement of the hinges before

proceeding.

 Repeat this section for the remaining aileron installation.

AILERON SERVO INSTALLATION

1. Remove the aileron servo cover from the wing.

2. Tape the string to the wing so it won’t fall into the wing.

4. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to thread the M3 x 10 self-tapping

screws into the holes. Remove the screws before proceeding to the

next step.

 Do not press down excessively on the screw

as it could damage the structure.

5. Apply a small amount of thin CA to harden the threads made in the

previous step. Allow the CA to fully cure before installing the aileron

servo cover.

3. Use a toothpick or hobby knife to puncture the covering for the servo

cover mounting screws.

6. Install the grommets and eyelets in the servos. Follow any

instructions included with the servo. Prepare both aileron servos.

7. Place a servo arm on the aileron servo to help in aligning the servo

to the servo cover.

9. Mark the locations for the servo mounting screws using a pencil,

then remove the servo.

10. Use a drill and a 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to drill the holes for the

servo mounting screws in the locations marked in the previous step.

8. Fit the servo between the servo mounting tabs in the aileron servo

tray. The servo arm will be centered in the slot.

10EN

11. Thread a servo mounting screw into each of the holes in the servo

mounting holes.

 Do not skip this step. Doing so may damage the servo mounts.

12. Remove the screws, then apply a small amount of thin CA to harden

the threads made in the previous step.

14. Secure a 9-inch (230mm) servo extension to the servo using a

commercially available retainer (SPMA3054).

15. Center the servo, then secure the servo arm so it is perpendicular

to the servo center line. Use side cutters to remove any unneeded

servo arms.

13. After the CA has fully cured, secure the servo to the cover using the

screws provided with the servo.

16. When attaching the linkage to the aileron servo arm, use the hole in

the arm that is 5/8-inch (16mm) from the center of the arm.

17. Tie or tape the string located inside the wing to the end of the servo

lead.

19. Secure the servo to the wing using four M3 x 10 self-tapping

screws. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.

20. Remove the clevises from the aileron pushrod. Slide a retainer over

the barrel of the clevises.

the clevises. Tighten the nuts over the thread lock and against the

clevises, then slide the retainers over the forks of the clevises.

 Repeat this section for the remaining aileron servo installation.

ATTACH THE FIN TO THE STABILIZER

1. Use a square and felt-tipped pen to draw a line on the top of the

stabilizer from the front and rear edges of the slot on the top of the

stabilizer.

2. Fit the ﬁ n to the stabilizer. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the forward

tip of the ﬁ n on the stabilizer.

4. Use a hobby knife with a new #11 blade to carefully trim the

covering 1/16-inch (1.5mm) below the line drawn on the ﬁ n.

 Use care not to cut into the underlying wood, weakening the fin.

5. Use a hobby knife with a new #11 blade to carefully trim the

covering 1/16-inch (1.5mm) inside the lines drawn on the stabilizer.

 Use care not to cut into the underlying wood, weakening the

stabilizer. Apply a bead of thin CA into the area where the

film was cut away to seal the edge of the covering, as well

as applying thin CA into any possible cut into the wood.

3. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the edge of the stabilizer on the

bottom of the ﬁ n where it ﬁ ts into the stabilizer.

12EN

6. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any lines from

the ﬁ n and stabilizer.

7. Use low-tack tape to secure a piece of plastic (packaging from the

parts is suitable) over the area on the fuselage where the stabilizer

ﬁ ts.

9. Check the ﬁ t of the stabilizer and ﬁ n to the fuselage. The rear edge

of the ﬁ n must align with the rear edge of the fuselage. Lightly sand

the bottom of the ﬁ n where it ﬁ ts in the stabilizer to correct any

positioning errors.

10. Remove the ﬁ n from the stabilizer. Mix 1/4 oz. (7.5mL) of 30-minute

epoxy. Apply epoxy to the exposed wood using an epoxy brush.

8. Check the ﬁ t of the ﬁ n to the stabilizer. Use a square to make sure

the ﬁ n ﬁ ts square to the stabilizer. Lightly sand the bottom of the ﬁ n

if necessary to correct any alignment issues.

TAIL SKID INSTALLATION

1. Remove the rear hatch cover from the fuselage. Apply a drop of

thread lock on the spring ﬁ tting. Thread the ﬁ tting into the blind nut

in the fuselage.

 Refer to checking the blind nuts on Page 6

before installing the screws.

2. Straighten a 3/4-inch (19mm) section of the spring using pliers.

4. Bend the straightened portion of the spring back around and loop

the wire back around the spring to secure the spring to the skid.

5. Apply a drop of thread lock on the two M3 x 12 socket head screws.

Attach the tail skid bracket to the fuselage using the two screws and

two M3 washers. Tighten the screws using a 2.5mm hex wrench.

3. Slide the straightened portion of the spring through the hole in the

tail skid.

6. Fit the skid in position, checking the ﬁ t of the skid in the bracket. The

skid must ﬁ t freely in the bracket so it can move. Carefully bend the

bracket if necessary.

 The skid should ideally be a snug fit in this slot in the fuselage. It

may require some light sanding of this slot to allow the skid to fit.

7. Slide an M3 x 20 socket head cap screw through the bracket and

skid. Slide an M3 washer on the screw, then thread the M3 locknut

on the screw. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut driver. Do

not over-tighten the screw, as the skid must move freely in the

bracket.

9. Replace the rear fuselage hatch. Use four M3 x 10 button head

screws and a 2mm hex wrench to secure the cover.

 Refer to checking the blind nuts on Page 6

before installing the screws.

 Place a drop of canopy glue on each screw before their

installation. This will keep them from vibrating loose yet leave

them easily removable if access to the spring is required.

8. Attach the spring to the spring ﬁ tting.

14EN

COCKPIT DETAIL INSTALLATION

1. Remove the two thumb screws that secure the canopy hatch to the

fuselage.

 The nylon bolt can be shortened to make securing the canopy hatch

easier. A metal fastener can also be substituted (not included).

2. Lift the canopy hatch from the fuselage at the rear. Slide the hatch

back and remove it from the fuselage. Set it aside in a safe location.

4. Fit the ammunition to the gun rails. The ammunition will align with

the top edge of the rails and fall straight into the rails as shown.

5. Slide a large M3 washer on an M3 x 25 socket head screw. Slide the

screw from the bottom of the forward cockpit ﬂ oor.

3. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade as well as hobby scissors to trim

the ammunition. Leave the ammunition wide so it can be trimmed

down to ﬁ t the rails. Trim both sets of ammunition.

6. Slide the standoff with the hole only through the center over the

screw, then place a mounting bracket on the screw. Secure the

hardware with an M3 locknut. Tighten the hardware using a 2.5mm

hex wrench and 5.5mm nut driver. Leave the hardware slightly loose

so it can be positioned when the rear mounts are installed.

7. Repeat the previous steps to install the second gun mount.

9. Locate the two standoffs with the perpendicular holes. Attach the

mounting brackets to the standoffs using two M3 x 10 button head

screws and two M3 washers. Leave the screws slightly loose so the

mounts can be positioned later in this section of the manual.

10. Slide an M3 lock washer on an M3 x 25 socket head cap screw.

Slide the screw through the standoff, then through the hole support

bar. Thread the screw into the blind nut that has been installed in the

cockpit. Make sure not to cross thread the screw and damage the

blind nut. Leave the screws loose at this time.

 Refer to checking the blind nuts on Page 6

before installing the screws.

8. Fit the rear support bar in the cockpit. The ends are angled to match

the shape of the fuselage sides. If it does not ﬁ t without binding,

lightly ﬁ le the ends so it ﬁ ts without binding against the inside edges

of the fuselage hatch.

11. Use a straight edge to check the alignment between the front and

rear mounts. Once aligned, the hardware for the mounts can be

tightened.

 Leave the M3 x 35 socket head screws loose

that attach the mounts to the support bar.

 Read through the following steps and work

through them before using any adhesives.

12. Use contact or slow setting adhesive to glue the ammunition rail in

the cockpit. The exact position will be adjusted once the guns are

secure.

14. Attach the right gun to the rear mount using an M3 x 25 socket head

cap screw and M3 locknut. Use hemostats to hold the nut while

tightening the screw with a 2.5mm hex wrench.

15. Repeat the previous steps to install the left gun to the mounts. Once

both guns are in place, tighten the screws for the gun mounts at the

support bar. Glue the gun sights to the machine guns using medium

CA.

 The gun sights are optional and can be easily

damaged if the hatch is repeatedly removed.

13. Attach the right gun to the front mount using an M3 x 25 socket

head cap screw and M3 locknut. Use hemostats to hold the nut

while tightening the screw with a 2.5mm hex wrench.

16. Slide the ammunition rails so they are tight against the guns. Allow

the adhesive to fully cure before proceeding.

 A black marker can be used to touch up any areas on the

guns where the underlying wood may be exposed.

17. Use contact adhesive to glue the pilot in the cockpit. Set the cockpit

aside to allow the adhesive to fully cure while continuing the build of

the model.

18. When ﬁ tting or removing the top hatch, be sure to angle the hatch

up against the trailing edge of the top wing center section. This way

the delicate gun sights do not get knocked off as the hatch is slid

back.

STABILIZER AND FIN INSTALLATION

1. Slide the shorter wing tube into the bottom wing tube socket.

 The wing tube may be a tight fit in the socket. Polishing

the wing tube with fine sand paper or steel wool will

help ease the installation of the wing tube.

2. Slide the wing into position on the fuselage.

4. Repeat the previous steps to attach the remaining wing panel.

5. Secure the wing panels to the fuselage using two nylon wing bolts.

 The nylon bolt can be shortened to 1

inches

(55mm) to make securing the wing easier.

3. Slide the wing so it is tight against the fuselage.

6. Place the stabilizer into position on the fuselage, check that the

stabilizer rest tightly with no gap between the stabilizer and

fuselage.

7. Check both sides of the stabilizer. Lightly sand the fuselage if

necessary.

9. Use a felt-tipped pen to transfer the fuselage outline onto the bottom

of the stabilizer.

10. Carefully cut the covering 1/8 inch (3mm) inside the line drawn

on the bottom of the stabilizer to remove the covering from the

center of the stabilizer. Use care not to cut into the underlying wood,

weakening the stabilizer.

 Use care not to cut into the underlying wood, weakening the

stabilizer. Apply a bead of thin CA into the area where the

film was cut away to seal the edge of the covering, as well

as applying thin CA into any possible cut into the wood.

8. Stand back 8-10 feet (2-3 meters) and check that the stabilizer

is aligned with the wing. Lightly sand the stabilizer saddle on the

fuselage to correct any misalignment. The ﬁ n will also be aligned

with the fuselage center line.

11. Remove any lines from the stabilizer using a paper towel and

isopropyl alcohol.

12. Use a covering iron to seal the covering to the stabilizer.

14. Mix 20g of 30-minute epoxy. Use an epoxy brush to apply epoxy to

the exposed wood on the bottom of the stabilizer.

 We strongly suggest 30-minute epoxy for this task to allow time to

properly install and align the stabilizer to the fuselage and wings.

15. Apply epoxy to the exposed wood on the top of the fuselage.

13. Check that the bottom of the stabilizer is smooth and level. If not,

use low-tack tape to protect the covering, then use a sanding bar to

sand the bottom of the stabilizer. Remove the tape and check that

the covering is still secured to the stabilizer.

16. Fit the stabilizer into position. Remove any epoxy from the fuselage

and stabilizer using a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol. There will

be excess epoxy, so use a few paper towels to properly remove it

from the outside of the model.

17. Use low-tack tape to hold the stabilizer in position while the epoxy

cures. Check the alignment periodically during the curing process.

RUDDER AND ELEVATOR SERVO INSTALLATION

1. Hinge the rudder to the ﬁ n and fuselage using the techniques from

hinging the ailerons. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to set the

gap between the balance tab and top of the ﬁ n.

2. Hinge the elevators to the stabilizer using the techniques from

hinging the ailerons. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to set the

gap between the balance tabs and stabilizer tips.

5. When attaching the linkage to the elevator servo arm, use the hole

in the arm that is 5/8-inch (16mm) from the center of the arm.

3. Prepare and install the rudder and elevator servos in the fuselage.

The process is the same as the aileron servo installation. The center

servo operates the rudder, while the outer servos operate the

elevators. The servo output for all servos will face the front of the

fuselage.

6. Remove the clevis and nut from one end of the elevator pushrod.

Slide the elevator pushrod into the pushrod tube.

7. Attach the clevis to the elevator servo arm.

9. Repeat the process of installing the elevator pushrod and servo arm

for the remaining elevator servo.

10. Make sure to adjust the pushrod when connecting the clevis to the

control horn at the elevator.

8. Thread the nut and clevis back on the elevator pushrod. Adjust the

clevis at the servo and control horn so the elevator is centered when

the clevis is attached to the elevator control horn.

4. Use the radio system to center the elevator servo. Install the servo

arm so it will be 90 degrees to the pushrod. Remove any unused

arms from the servo arm using side cutters.

11. Place a drop of thread lock on the linkage near the clevises. Tighten

the nuts over the thread lock and against the clevises, then slide the

retainers over the forks of the clevises.

12. Use the radio system to center the rudder servo. Place the rudder

servo arm on the servo so two of the arms are perpendicular to the

servo centerline.

14. Pass the cable through the hole in the cable ﬁ tting.

15. Pass the cable back through the sleeve. Use crimping pliers to

secure the sleeve to the cable.

 Use caution to not press too hard and cut the

crimp instead of securing it to the wire.

13. Slide a sleeve on one end of the cable.

16. Place a retainer over the barrel of the clevis. Thread an M3 nut, then

the clevis, on the cable ﬁ tting. The threads of the ﬁ tting will barely be

visible between the forks of the clevis.

17. Use the holes that are 5/8 inch (16mm) from the center of the servo

to attach the clevises for the rudder cables.

19. Repeat the process to attach the remaining rudder cable to the

rudder servo arm.

20. Pass the cables through the tubes inside the fuselage and retrieve

them at the rear of the fuselage. Removing the rear fuselage cover

will make retrieving the cable easier.

18. Attach the cable to the rudder servo arm.
