3. This completes the assembly process!
OPTIONAL PNEUMATIC RETRACTS
Mounting locations are provided in the fuselage for
optional pneumatic retract hardware including the
air vessel, air valve, and air valve servo. Tabs are
designed into the former at the front of the air tank for
securing it with rubber bands. Cutout the opening for
a Robart small air tank along the perforations in the
air tank tray. Detailed installation instructions are not
provided for installing pneumatic retracts, however
the installation process for the gear is similar to
the mechanical installation. The mechanical retract
pushrods will need to be replaced with air lines.
Be sure to follow the instructions included with the
pneumatic retract kit.
APPLY THE DECALS
❏
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the
decals from the sheet.
❏
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily
fi ngerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small
bucket with a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm
water–about one teaspoon of soap per gallon of water.
Submerse the decal in the soap and water and peel off
the paper backing. Note: Even though the decals have
a “sticky-back” and are not the water transfer type,
submersing them in soap & water allows accurate
positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
❏
3. Position a decal on the model where desired.
Holding the decal down, use a paper towel to wipe
most of the water away.
❏
4. Use a piece of soft balsa wrapped in a paper
towel or something similar to squeegee remaining
water from under the decal. Apply the rest of the
decals the same way.
GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY
CHECK THE CONTROL DIRECTIONS
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center
the trims. 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.
