2 E-flite Deuces Wild Assembly Manual
Introduction
The Deuces Wild 25e2 ARF is the first twin and the first sport
plane in the Platinum Series. It is easier to fly than most other
twins and exhibits gentle flight characteristics. Along with the
superior features that come with every E-flite Platinum Series
plane, the Deuces Wild is full of enhanced details. All flight
control surfaces are installed, pushrods are pre-bent and
ready for installation and it includes optional gear doors.
The Deuces Wild also comes with a unique wing design in
that it utilizes two Selig airfoils to give it excellent performance
at high and low speeds, while also giving the pilot gentle
stall characteristics. It was even designed with the unthinkable
in mind—the loss of an engine. In the event of an engine
loss, this aircraft is still easily flyable. The lightweight sturdy
frame is constructed of balsa and plywood and covered in
genuineHangar 9 UltraCote for added durability. The bolt-on
tail assembly and removable wing panels are designed for
quick building and easy storage.
Flight characteristics, aerobatic capabilities and amazing
details—any experienced modeler would bet on the
Deuces Wild.
Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next
to each step to keep track of each step completed. Steps with
a single circle () are performed once, while steps with two
circles ( ) indicate that the step will require repeating, such
as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.
