Assemble the Landing Gear
Install the bracket assembled in step 1 into the fuselage as shown in the figure, and install the spring here is the shock absorbing mechanism of the landing gear.
Assemble the Tail Wing and Tail Wheel
Install the horizontal tail rotor mechanism. Refer to the 02-4-1 and 02-4-2 separately for details.
The vertical tail is connected with the bracket installed in step 02-1 through paper hinges, and the tail wheel set is installed as shown in the figure. After adjustment, the joint of the paper hinges and the tail wheel set are fixed with CA quick-drying adhesive, and the vertical tail wing can swing freely.
Install the horizontal tail, insert it into the square carbon rod, and adjust the distance so that the tail does not interfere with the fuselage when it rotates. The joint shall be bonded with epoxy adhesive.
Note that the two rudder horns are at the inner side of the bracket, adjust the distance, and use CA quick drying adhesive to fix the joint with the square carbon rod.
Install the nylon stay wire, fix it with self-tapping screws, and lock the wire connector with an aluminum buckle.
Installation of control servos for horizontal tail and vertical tail
Wing installation
The aileron is connected to the wing through paper hinges and is cemented with CA glue. Keep the aileron free to swing after being glued.
The rudder horn is installed on the aileron, and the steel wire connecting rod is installed to connect the servo. One end of the Z-shaped steel wire connecting rod goes through the rudder arm, and the other end connects the rudder horn through the EZ-connector.
The other half of the wing is installed in the same way as the above steps, and carbon rods are inserted into the left and right wings.
After installation, the left and right wings are fixed with screws.
Install the motor and cowling
Install the stay wire
There are two stay wires, which are threaded and installed in numerical order.
Pay attention to several installation details during installation.
- Stay wire 1
1→2→3→4→1 - Stay wire 2
1→2→3→4→1
Set and Adjust
Display the C.G
Usually, the control throws set as below:
(Normal Flying) 3D(3D Flying only support some models)
Aileron: ±(15°-30°）; ±40° (or larger)
Elevator; ±15° ±40° ;(or larger)
Rudder; ±15° ±40° ;(or larger)
Flap :(take-off）;15°-20° :（Landing）;20°-40°
Some special models will have V-tails, flaps, leading edge wings, etc., which can be used as a reference for conventional flight angles. If you do not confirm and there is no experienced person to guide you, we recommend that you first test at a small angle to confirm that your settings are correct.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
- Check/adjust servo centering, in order to adjust the control surface better.
- Double-check the spinning direction of motor at first usage, and sure it’s suitable for your model.
- Set the center of gravity (CG) at the position that manual already marked out. If necessary, add weight to the nose or tail to ensure the best flight performance.
- Double-check the inside of the fuselage, make sure all the equipment’s are correctly connected; Check the heat-shrink covering material’s surface, Make certain all screws, bolts, cabin and canopy remain secure.
- Take great care when connecting/disconnecting the battery, pls replace the battery immediately once found low voltage or damage to battery.
- The way the internal devices of the fuselage are connected will be related to your transmitter-receiver device. For those transmitter-receiver devices with more functions, you can simplify the connection of the internal devices of the fuselage. Check your device for details to see if it meets the features you need.
- When the power system and transmitter-receiver device are paired for the first time, you may need to set the maximum stroke of the throttle. Please set it yourself.
