E-flite Cessna 150 Aerobat 250 ARF Assembly Manual

Before Starting Assembly

Before beginning the assembly of your model, remove

each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect

the fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for

damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts,

contact the place of purchase.

If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use 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 seams

or areas where the colors overlap to prevent pulling

the seams.

During the course of building your model, we

suggest you use a soft base for the building surface.

Such things as a foam stand, large piece of

bedding foam or a thick bath towel will work well

and help protect the model from damage during

assembly. This is not shown in the instructions

to provide the greatest detail in the photos.

When referencing directions (up, down, left,

right, top and bottom), take note that these are

in relationship to the pilot sitting in the cockpit

of the aircraft unless noted otherwise.

1. Use the radio system to center the aileron servos.

Use a # 0 Phillips screwdriver to center both of the

stock arms so they are centered perpendicular to the

servo. Make one of each shown for the left and right

wing. Attach the mounting bracket to the servos as

shown.

2. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to

enlarge the hole that is second from the inside on

the servo arm.

3. Use side cutters to remove the excess servo arm

as shown. Attach the pushrod connector to the

servo horn using the hole enlarged in the previous

step. The washers that come on the connector are

not needed and can be removed. Tighten the nut

so that it is secure on the arm but is not tight. There

should be a small amount of play between the arm

and the connector and the connector should be able

to rotate freely on the arm.
