SPINNER
The Sea Fury requires a 4" [102mm] spinner. A P-51-
shape spinner looks better on this model than a
regular pointed sport spinner. Two C.B. Associates,
Inc. #5105 P-51 spinners (CBAQ5520) were used on
this model. One for static display (
see page 55) and
one for flying. These spinners include the correct
adapter for the O.S. .61, but another adapter may be
required if using a different engine.
LANDING GEAR OPTIONS
The Sea Fury may be built with either fixed or
retractable landing gear. The pre bent fixed landing
gear wires are included with this kit, so the only
additional item required to build the Sea Fury with
fixed gear is 4" [100mm] wheels. If installing retracts,
there are two recommended options: The kit may be
built to accommodate Robart #605 HD retracts with
3/6" [4.8mm] wire struts (ROBQ0005) or Century Jet
Models #32425 Top Flite Sea Fury system with scale
struts (CJMQ4150). Instructions and are provided for
installation of either gear (see page 18 for additional,
important information on selecting retracts).
If installing the Century Jet Models #3235 Top Flite
System with 1/2" [13mm] diameter struts
(CJMQ4100) or any other system, the landing gear
rail spacing and/or position may require modification
to accommodate the gear.
Both Century Jet systems include all required
components including retracts, struts, air lines,
fittings, air control valve and air tank (some modelers
prefer to replace CJM’s air filler valve with Robart’s
air filler valve). Whichever retract system is installed,
an additional servo will be required to operate the air
control valve.
These items are required if installing Century
Jet Models retractable landing gear:
#32425 Top Flite Sea Fury system with scale
struts (CJMQ4100)
-or-
#32325 Top Flite Sea Fury system with 1/2"
struts (CJMQ32325)

muffler to the engine. For the O.S. .61 FX or SF
order TOPQ7920. For the Super Tigre
® .61 to .75
G-series (muffler bolts go through the engine and
screw into the muffler) order TOPQ7926. For the
Super Tigre .61 to .75 K-series (muffler bolts go
through the muffler and screw into the engine)
order TOPQ7925. Additionally, a long silicone tube
will be required to connect the Top Flite in-cowl
muffler to the header. Aerotrend 3/4" [19.1mm]
inside diameter silicone tubing was used on this
model (AERG2220).
Note: The Top Flite in-cowl muffler is not
recommended for engines over .75 cu in.
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s recommendations
for selecting the correct propellers.
FLAPS
The Sea Fury may be built either with or without
flaps. Flaps are not necessary for an enjoyable
flying experience, but they do add greatly to scale
realism. Landing with flaps is a blast (and can be
safer) because the model is able to fly at reduced
speeds. Full instructions are included for building
the Sea Fury with flaps, but a little extra
craftsmanship and skill (not to mention a little
extra time) will be required.
These additional items are required to build
the Sea Fury with flaps:
(2) Standard servos
(1) Y-connector (HCAM2701– Futaba ® )
(1) 6" [150mm] Servo extension (connected to
receiver for field setup (HCAM2000 for Futaba)
(10) Small Pivot Point Hinges
(GPMQ4001, pkg. of 15)
3/32" [2.4mm] brass tube
(for drilling holes for hinges)
