Pilot Installation (Optional)

To install a pilot figure, please use the Great Planes 1/5th

scale sport pilot. This is available in red, yellow, or blue. Please

see the parts list earlier in this manual for these part numbers.

❏

1. Cut the pilot figure down to 3" [76mm] using a razor

saw or your hobby knife. Sand the bottom of the figure flat

using a belt sander or a sanding block.

❏

2. Sand the inside surface of the pilot figure and clean it

with denatured alcohol. Cut and glue a wooden base (not

included) inside the pilot figure using 6-minute epoxy. Let the

epoxy cure.

❏

3. Glue the pilot figure in the cockpit.

❏

4. Install the canopy.

Apply the Decals

1. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fingerprints

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.

2. Position decal on the model where desired. Use the

photos on the box for reference. Holding the decal down,

use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.

3. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to squeegee

remaining water from under the decal. Apply the rest of the

decals the same way.

4. We have also included a template for the passenger door.

Turn to the back of this manual and cut this out. Hold it up to

the right hand side of the model and trace the outline of the

door onto the fuselage using a panel line pen.

GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY

Center the Controls and

Check the Control Directions

Warning: Once the battery is connected to the ESC, stay

clear of the propeller!

❏

1. Turn on the transmitter, center the trims, and move the

throttle stick all the way down. Plug your airplane’s battery

into the ESC.

❏

2. Check to see that the controls are centered. If any

control requires adjustment, remove the clevis and tighten

or loosen it to adjust the length of the pushrod. Tighten the

clevis to “shorten” the pushrod or loosen it to “lengthen” the

pushrod. Reinstall the clevis snapping closed the arms, and

fit the silicone retainer over the clevis arms to secure it. If you

have to remove a servo arm to make an adjustment, don’t

forget to reinstall the locking screw.
