TAIL WHEEL
The scale tail wheel requires some fabrication as shown on
the plans. If you do not wish to go to this trouble you can
use the simplified design shown. If you would like to use a
scale pull pull set up, you can use an E-flite HFL2282 micro
pull pull kit. This not only looks good but it also works great.
Note that in the photo on the right the tail wheel shows a lagging
link, this is not necessary and is not scale. See the addendum in
you kit regarding this change.
SETUP
The proper C.G. can easily be achieved by moving the battery pack if you are using electric power. Be sure to do a lateral
balance check to assure the model hangs wings level when supported by the motor shaft and the end of the tail cone.
Add weight to the high wing until it is wings level.
Set the initial throws as follows. Ailerons - 3/8” up and 3/8” down Elevator - 1/2” up and 1/2” down Rudder - 1” right
and left and wheel toe in of 3 degrees for best ground handling.
If you are setting your model up for float operation be sure to use the additional fin area supplied. The holes in the stab tips
is designed to hold the ventral fins. The tail wheel assembly can be unbolted and the sub fin bolted in its place.
COWL FLAP
The cowl flap is functional and should not be omitted. Without it the controller may not get adequate cooling. If
you wish to omit the cowl flap you will need to make some other arrangement for cooling air to exit the fuselage.
Assemble the three CF parts but do not install the assembly until after covering.
