Tiger 30cc ARF

REMOVING WRINKLES

The covering of your model may develop wrinkles during shipping. Use a covering iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron

sock (HAN141) to remove them. Start with a lower heat setting and use caution while working around areas where

the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors. It is also advised to use caution around the canopy as it is plastic

and could distort with excessive heat. Avoid using too much heat, which could also separate the colors. Placing a cool

damp cloth on adjacent colors will also help prevent the separation of the colors while removing wrinkles. Only use a

heat gun (HAN100) once the covering iron has been used.

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 (2.1m) in length, and 19 inches

(50cm) 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 MonoKote® ﬁ lm in the following colors. If repairs are required, order these coverings to

make those repairs.

TOPQ0201 Red

TOPQ0204 White

TOPQ0226 Sapphire Blue

TOPQ0205 Aluminum

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.

FOR THE VISUALLY CHALLENGED

A copy of this manual can be found at www.horizonhobby.com under the tab for this particular model. Feel free to

download this manual and use a PDF viewer to zoom in on any text or images that may be in question when building

from the printed manual.

6. Secure an 18-inch (460mm) servo extension to the servo using a

commercially available retainer (SPMA3054).

 The length of the extension may vary depending on servo selection.

The extension listed is uitable for the recommended servos.

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

lead.

9. Route the servo lead through the hole in the top of the wing.

10. Fit the servo in the wing with the servo output toward the leading

edge. Mark the locations for the servo mounting screws using a

pencil, then remove the servo.

8. Use the string to pull the servo lead through the wing and out at the

root.

 We left a small amount of the string on the aileron

servo lead so it can be quickly differentiated between

the flap servo lead that will be installed later.

11. Use a pin vise 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.

 If using a drill, make sure not to drill through

the covering on the top of the wing.

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

mounting holes.

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

screws provided with the servo.

15. When mounting the aileron servos, the servo arms will face toward

the wing tips on each wing panel.

 Installing the aileron servos facing the opposite direction

allows their connection to the receiver using a Y-Harness.

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

the threads made in the previous step.

6EN

16. Use low-tack tape to hold the aileron/ﬂ ap centered when installing

the linkage.

17. Slide a retainer over the barrel of the clevises.

 There are an equal number of threaded clevises

and solder clevises. Make sure to sort the clevises

so they can be used in the correct locations.

19. When attaching the clevis to the servo arm, use the hole that is 5/8

in (16mm) from the center of the servo horn.

20. Attach the clevis to the aileron servo arm.

18. Thread a 4-40 nut on the threaded end of a short pushrod. Thread

the clevis on the pushrod until the end of the pushrod is visible

between the forks of the clevis.

21. Hold the pushrod perpendicular to the hinge line. Mark the aileron

where the pushrod crosses onto the aileron using a felt-tipped pen.

22. Position the control horn centered on the mark made in the previous

step. The holes for the clevis in the control horn will align with the

hinge line.

 There is a hardwood plate in the ailerons that the

control horns will be mounted to. Make sure the

control horn is positioned over this plate.

24. Wrap a piece of low-tack tape 3/8 inch (9.5mm) from the end of

a 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit. This will act a stop to prevent drilling

through the aileron.

25. Use a drill and the drill bit from the previous step to drill the holes for

the control horn mounting screws.

 Do not drill through the top surface of the aileron.

23. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the mounting locations for the control

horn screws.

7 EN

Tiger 30cc ARF

5/8 inch

(16mm)

26. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a #4 x 1/2 inch sheet metal

screw into each of the holes. Remove the screws before proceeding.

 It is important to prepare and harden the surrounding wood

when mounting the control horns. Failure to do so may result

in the control horns not being as secure as necessary.

27. Place 2-3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes. Allow the CA to fully

cure before proceeding.

29. Attach a solder-type clevis to the center hole of the aileron control

horn.

30. Hold the pushrod against the clevis. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark

the edge of the clevis on the pushrod.

28. Mount the control horn to the aileron using four #4 x 1/2 inch sheet

metal screws. Tighten the screws using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

31. Remove the pushrod from the servo. Use side cutters to trim the

pushrod 3/8 inch (9.5mm) past the mark made in the previous step.

This will be inserted into the solder clevis.

32. Use medium grit sandpaper to lightly scuff the pushrod. Use a paper

towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris or oils from the

pushrod.

 If the mark is removed, make sure to replace it on the pushrod.

33. Apply a small amount of ﬂ ux paste to the pushrod. This will help

draw the solder along the pushrod wire and into the clevis.

34. Hold the pushrod and clevis using pliers or hemostats. Use a torch or

soldering iron to heat the clevis and wire. Use silver solder to secure

the clevis to the pushrod wire.

 Align the clevis with the mark on the pushrod wire

to achieve the correct length of the pushrod.

 Once the solder has cooled, pull hard on the pushrod wire

and clevis to make sure it has been soldered securely

in place. Failure to correctly solder the clevises can

result in pushrod failure and the loss of the model.

 Use silver solder when assembling the pushrod.

8EN

35. Remove the nut and clevis from the threaded end of the pushrod.

Slide a retainer on the pushrod wire and over the barrel of the solder

clevis.

36. Attach the solder clevis to the control horn. Slide the retainer over

the forks of the clevis to secure it to the control horn.

37. Thread the nut and threaded clevis back into place on the pushrod.

Attach the threaded clevis to the servo arm. Make sure to adjust

the clevis to center the aileron when the servo is centered. Apply

a drop of threadlock on the threads of the pushrod near the clevis.

Thread the nut over the threadlock and against the clevis. Use pliers

to tighten the nut against the clevis, then slide the retainer over the

forks of the clevis.

 Operational flaps are optional on this model. They can

be added at any time during the life of the model.

1. Use a razor saw to cut the two dowels connecting the ﬂ ap and

aileron.

 There is a gap between the flap and aileron

where these dowels are located.

2. Use medium grit sandpaper to sand the dowels smooth with the

face of the aileron and ﬂ ap.

 If the covering becomes damaged, use a covering iron

and white covering to replace any damaged covering.

4. Install the ﬂ ap servos in the wing. The procedure is the same as the

aileron servos. When installing the ﬂ ap servos, the servo arm on

both servos will face toward the left wingtip.

 Installing the flap servos facing the same direction allows

their connection to the receiver using a Y-Harness.

5. Prepare the pushrod for the ﬂ aps. This is the same procedure as the

pushrod for the aileron. When attaching the clevis to the servo arm,

use the hole that is 5/8 in (16mm) from the center of the servo horn.

3. Prepare the two ﬂ ap servos.

FLAP SERVO INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

6. Install the control horn and complete the pushrod. These steps are

the same as the aileron control horn and pushrod steps.

7. Route the lead for the ﬂ ap servo through the wing and out the hole

in the top of the wing.

 The wing must be installed before the stabilizer, as it is essential to

align the stabilizer with the wing for the aircraft to perform properly.

1. Test ﬁ t the dowel into the leading edge of the wing. The dowel will

protrude 1/2 inch (13mm) from the wing. Remove the dowel and mix

a small amount of 5-minute epoxy. Use a toothpick to apply epoxy

inside the hole.

 There are two larger diameter dowels, and one smaller

diameter dowel. The two larger diameter dowels are

used at the leading edge, and the smaller diameter

dowel at the trailing edge as an alignment pin.

2. Apply epoxy to the portion of the dowel that ﬁ ts into the wing. Slide

the dowel into position, and remove any excess epoxy using a paper

towel and isopropyl alcohol.

 The remaining wing dowel can be installed at this time.

3. Use a pencil to mark a centerline on the smaller diameter dowel.

4. Use epoxy to glue the dowel into the wing near the trailing edge.

Insert the dowel up to the line made in the previous step. Remove

any excess epoxy using a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol.

WING AND STABILIZER INSTALLATION

10EN

5. Slide the wing tube into the 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.

6. Slide the wing panels together. There should be no gap between the

panels.

7. Slide the canopy hatch forward to release the tab at the rear near

the top of the fuselage. Lift the canopy hatch from the fuselage and

set it aside.

 Pilot shown is optional and not included with the model.

8. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering from the

slot at the rear of the fuselage for the stabilizer.

9. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering at the rear

of the fuselage. Remove the tail post from the fuselage.

 The tail post is left in position at the factory to prevent damage

and maintain the structural integrity of the fuselage during

shipping and must be removed to install the stabilizer.

10. Slide the wing into position, guiding the dowels in the wing into the

holes in the fuselage. Make sure the leads from the ailerons (and

ﬂ aps) are inside the fuselage.

11. Secure the wing to the fuselage using the two 1/4-20 x 2 inch nylon

bolts. Use a ﬂ at screwdriver to tighten the bolts, securing the wing.

12. Place the stabilizer in position. Make sure to slide the stabilizer

as far forward in the fuselage as possible. Use a hobby knife and

#11 blade to remove the covering between the slot for the ﬁ n and

the opening for the tab on the ﬁ n. Use care to only cut through the

covering as not to damage the underlying structure.

 Use low heat on your covering iron to seal the edges of the

covering. High heat may result in the covering pulling back

and exposing bare balsa when the fin is glued in place.

13. Fit the ﬁ n into position. The ﬁ n will help in aligning the stabilizer to

the fuselage, as it keys into both items.

14. 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.

11 EN

Tiger 30cc ARF

A=A

15. Measure from each wing tip to each stabilizer tip. Adjust the

stabilizer so the measurements are the same for both sides.

16. Place two T-pins into the stabilizer on both sides of the fuselage.

These will help return the stabilizer to the correct position in the

fuselage.

18. Use an epoxy brush to apply epoxy to the exposed wood in the

stabilizer slot of the fuselage.

19. Slide the stabilizer into position. Check the alignment to verify it

is correctly positioned. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to

remove any epoxy from the fuselage and stabilizer. Allow the epoxy

to fully cure before proceeding.

 Regularly check the stab alignment while the epoxy is curing to

make sure it does not move and sets in a misaligned angle.

17. Remove the ﬁ n and stabilizer from the fuselage. Mix 1 ounce (30ml)

of 30-minute epoxy and use an epoxy brush to apply it to the

exposed wood on the top and bottom of the stabilizer.

1. Prepare both elevator servos by installing the grommets and eyelets.

Do not install the screw that secures the servo arm to the servo.

2. Mount an elevator servo in the fuselage with the output facing the

front of the fuselage. The steps for mounting servos are the same as

in the section for the aileron servo installation.

3. Prepare the clevis by sliding a retainer on the barrel of the clevis.

Thread a 4-40 nut, then the clevis, on the threaded end of a long

pushrod. Attach the clevis to the elevator control horn.

4. Use a stiff ruler and two clamps to hold the elevator in position while

installing the elevator control horn and elevator pushrod.

5. Slide the pushrod into the pushrod tube in the fuselage. Make sure

to use the hole closest the stabilizer on the side where both the

rudder and elevator pushrods exit.

ELEVATOR SERVO INSTALLATION

12EN

AA

A=A

6. Position the control horn so the holes in the control horn align

with the hinge line. The pushrod will cause the control horn to fall

naturally on the elevator. Mark the location for the control horn

mounting screws on the elevator.

7. Move the control horn away from the elevator. Use a pin vise and

7/64-inch (2.5mm) drill bit to drill the holes for the control horn

mounting screws. Use care to drill the holes straight and parallel in

the elevator.

 Unlike the aileron control horns, the elevator control

horns use a backplate on the opposite side of the

control surface. Failure to fit this backplate will result

in control failure and possible loss of the model.

9. The socket head cap screws will thread into the control horn back

plate. Use a 3/32-inch hex wrench to tighten all four screws.

 Do not over-tighten the screws and damage the

underlying structure of the elevator.

10. When attaching the clevis to the servo arm, use the hole that is 5/8

in (16mm) from the center of the servo horn.

8. Use four 4-40 x 3/4 inch socket head cap screws to attach the

control horn to the elevator.

11. Attach a solder-type clevis to the elevator servo arm. Hold the

pushrod against the clevis. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the edge of

the clevis on the pushrod.

12. Remove the pushrod from the fuselage. Remove the clevis from the

elevator servo arm. Cut the pushrod and solder the clevis on the

pushrod using the technique outlined for the aileron pushrods.

 Once the solder has cooled, pull hard on the pushrod wire

and clevis to make sure it has been soldered securely

in place. Failure to correctly solder the clevises can

result in pushrod failure and the loss of the model.

14. Install the remaining control horn on the opposite elevator.

13. Reinstall the pushrod and connect it to the servo arm and control

horn. With the radio system on and elevator servo centered, adjust

the clevis to center the elevator. Use threadlock near the threaded

clevis, then tighten the nut against the clevis to secure the clevis.

Slide all retainers over the forks of the clevises to complete the

pushrod installation.

13 EN

15. Complete the pushrod installation for the remaining elevator. Once

complete, make sure to install the screws that secure the servo

arms in the servos. Turn off the radio system.

1. Fit the ﬁ n in position. Use a hobby square to make sure the ﬁ n is

square to the stabilizer. If not, lightly sand the ﬁ n where it ﬁ ts into

the stabilizer and fuselage to correct the alignment.

3. Apply epoxy to the exposed wood inside the rear of the fuselage.

4. Apply epoxy to the exposed wood on the ﬁ n where it will contact the

fuselage. Also apply epoxy under the ﬁ n to glue it to the top of the

fuselage where the covering was removed.

2. Remove the ﬁ n from the fuselage. Mix 1 ounce (30ml) of 30-minute

epoxy and use an epoxy brush to apply it to the exposed wood in the

stabilizer.

5. Fit the ﬁ n into position and check the alignment. Use low-tack tape

to hold the ﬁ n in position until the epoxy fully cures. Continually

check the ﬁ n to make sure it remains aligned with the stabilizer as

the epoxy cures.

RUDDER AND FIN INSTALLATION

14EN

1. Prepare the rudder pushrod and install the rudder control horn

following the procedure outlined for the elevator control horn.

 Unlike the aileron control horns, the rudder control

horn uses a backplate on the opposite side of the

control surface. Failure to fit this backplate will result

in control failure and possible loss of the model.

2. When attaching the clevis to the rudder servo horn, use the hole that

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

4. Install the rudder servo in the fuselage with the servo output facing

the rear of the aircraft. Align the rudder pushrod with the hole in the

5. A second set of sides, as well as top and bottom pieces will ﬁ t over

those previously installed.

 Once the fit of the pieces has been checked, disassemble

the motor box and sort the pieces so they can be quickly

identified when assembling the motor box using epoxy.

STEP 1

 We highly recommend using an epoxy with a cure time of at least

30 minutes or longer when assembling the motor box to allow

enough time to fully assemble it before the epoxy begins to cure.

6. Mix 1/2 ounces (15mL) of 30-minute epoxy. Use an epoxy brush to

apply epoxy to one side of the end plates.

7. Stack a second end plate on the ﬁ rst, then apply epoxy to the plate.

Stack the third end plate. There will be epoxy between each of the

three end plates.

 Assemble the motor box without mixing any epoxy first

to fully understand the fit of the components. Once epoxy

has been mixed, there will be a limited amount of time to

build the motor box before the epoxy begins to cure.

 The motor box will be built in three steps. This

will allow time to assemble the motor box.

1. Locate the four end plates for the motor box. Three will be used for

the motor mounting, and one will be used when mounting the motor

box to the ﬁ rewall.

2. Fit the three end plate in the wide slot in the motor box top/bottom.

The single end plate ﬁ ts in the narrow slot.

 The top/bottom has tabs along the sides.

3. Fit the motor box top/bottom on the end plates.

4. The motor box sides can then be ﬁ t to the assembly.

 The sides have notches that the tabs on the top/bottom will key into.

8. Apply epoxy to the area on the side plate where the end plates will

be in contact with the side plate. Position the end plates (previous

step and single plate) on the side plate. Continue working until the

motor box has the ﬁ rst set of side plates and top/ bottom plates in

position.

9. Use low-tack tape to hold the motor box together until the epoxy

cures. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any

excess epoxy.

 It is critical to remove all excess epoxy or the

remaining pieces will not fit into position.

10. Mix 1/2 ounces (15mL) of 30-minute epoxy. Use an epoxy brush to

apply epoxy to one of the top/bottom plates. Apply epoxy to the top/

bottom plate.

11. Place a second top/bottom plate in position. Repeat until the second

set of side plates and top/bottom plates have been positioned.

STEP 3

13. Mix 1/2 ounces (15mL) of 30-minute epoxy. Apply epoxy to a single

square end plate.

14. Place the square end plate in position. Repeat for the ﬁ nal square

end plate.

12. Use low-tack tape to hold the motor box together until the epoxy

cures. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any

excess epoxy.

 It is critical to remove all excess epoxy or the

remaining pieces will not fit into position.

15. Use low-tack tape to hold the motor box together until the epoxy

cures. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess

epoxy. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

 Use medium grit sandpaper to sand the motor

box if necessary for a finished took.

1. Measure and mark the locations for the motor box mounting screws

on the ﬁ rewall.

 These measurements are used when mounting the included

motor box to the firewall. Using a different motor or motor box

may require different measurements. Check the alignment of the

motor mor motor box after marking the firewall for alignment.

2. Use a drill and 7/32-inch (5.5mm) drill bit to drill the holes from the

previous step.

 Drill a 1/8-inch (3mm) pilot hole first to prevent the larger

drill bit from wandering when drilling the final holes.

4. Attach the motor box to the ﬁ rewall using the four 8-32 x 3/4 inch

socket head cap screws and four #8 washers. Tighten the screws

using a 9/64 inch hex wrench.

3. Use an 8-32 x 3/4 inch socket head cap screw and #8 washer to

pull the 8-32 blind nuts into the back of the ﬁ rewall from inside the

fuselage. Use a 9/64 inch hex wrench for the screws. Remove the

screws once all blind nuts have been installed.

5. Attach the motor to the motor box using four 8-32 blind nuts, four #8

washers, four #8 lock washers and four 8-32 x 3/4 inch socket head

cap screws.

 Use a 7/32-inch (5.5mm) drill bit to clear any epoxy from

the mounting holes. Drilling slightly larger mounting holes

will allow for any alignment when using different motors.

 The Tiger 30cc has been designed to use a variety of power

systems. Please make sure to check the power system selected

has mounting holes that align with holes in the motor box. New

holes may be required dependant on the motor selection.

8. Remove the motor and motor box from the ﬁ rewall. Mix 1/4 ounce

(8mL) of 5-minute epoxy. Slide the ﬁ rewall so epoxy can be applied

in the ﬁ nal locations for the ﬁ rewall.

6. Position the ﬁ rewall so the distance shown measures between

7

inches (184mm–196mm). This measurement may vary

depending on motor selection. Verify the measurement is within this

range when the motor has been attached to the ﬁ rewall.

7. Use a pencil to mark the location of the ﬁ rewall on the fuselage

sides and top.
