CANOPY INSTALLATION
PROPELLER & SPINNER INSTALLATION
1. Collect the following items:
(1 Tinted Canopy
The propeller size must be matched to the engine.
For example, a .60 may use a 11" diameter prop
while a .80 four stroke can use a13" prop. Follow the
engine manufacturer’s recommendation for correct
propeller sizes or speak to a knowledgeable dealer.
It's wise to buy a few spare props, as everyone
breaks them occasionally, and particularly often
when learning to fly.
Balancing your propeller helps to protect your radio
from the damaging effects of vibration. There are
good, easy to use prop balancers on the market. We
recommend sanding the heavy blade on the curved
face, out near the tip, rather than on the flat face. Try
to maintain the normal airfoil curvature. Avoid
scratches which may cause the prop to break. Never
carve or cut a prop near the hub for any reason
(such as to fit a spinner).
It is equally important to use a correctly sized spin-
ner. The CGP 4-pin spinner (3-1/2”) for the Tiger 120
ARF is a rugged precision-molded spinner which
does not require any special mounting nuts or
screws. CAREFULLY READ THE SPINNER
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS INCLUDED
WITH THE SPINNER. And remember, although a
spinner helps reduce the chance of injury from a
rotating prop, extreme caution always must be used
when the engine is running.
3. The canopy is pre-cut so all that is required is
to run a bead of canopy glue around the
inside edge. Allow the canopy to over lap the
turtle deck at the rear 3/8”. Use masking tape
to hold in place till the glue dries.
2. (Optional) Install any cockpit detail and pilot
figure you desire.
1. Collect the following items:
(1) Braided cable
(2) 4-40 metal clevis

(2) 4-40 jam nut s
(4) 4-40 rigging couplers

2. Mount the rudder servo on the raised rails in

ware supplied with the radio.
