Great Planes Pitts Special 1/3 Scale ARF MonoKote - GPMA1218 - Manual (Page 33)

2. Paint the cockpit area flat black or your favorite color.
You may want to consider that the paint can possibly bleed
through the wood and show up under your MonoKote
covering. To avoid this, simply coat the cockpit interior with
30-minute epoxy thinned with denatured alcohol or clear
paint before applying the black paint to the interior. Apply the
decal for the instrument panel as shown in the photo. You
may also wish to place a pilot figure in the cockpit for added
realism. A 1/3 scale DGA Scale Model Pilot (DGAQ2000)
was used in the photographs.

3. Carefully cut the excess plastic away from the painted
canopy. Glue the canopy into position using R/C-56
Canopy Glue (JOZR5007).
NOTE: SOME MODELERS LIKE TO HAVE A BIT MORE
TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR THEIR MODELS THAN
OTHERS. FOR THOSE WHO DO, THE WING INCIDENCE
OF BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM WING IS 0 DEGREES
WHEN THE STAB IS SET AT 0 DEGREES. THE ENGINE
THRUST IS ALSO BUILT-IN AT 0 DEGREES DOWN AND
2 DEGREES RIGHT.

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
trim tabs. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the
servos and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall
the screws that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.
❏
3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any
of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected to
those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained
centered. Adjust if necessary.
