Assembly Diagram (For reference only)

Please carefully read through the entire instruction manual

before beginning assembly of your Xtra Easy 2™

Ready-To-Fly (RTF) kit.

2. Mount the main landing gear

Tape Strip

Short Screws

3. Install the

tail surfaces

Rubber Bands (5 per side) to hold wing

Section 1: Assemble the Wing

Carefully remove the contents of the Xtra Easy 2™ RTF kit. It is

recommended that you charge the transmitter and receiver bat-

teries for 24 hours prior to flying your model.

Step 1. Remove each wing from its protective plastic bag.

Remove the pieces of tape that hold the ailerons in place for

shipping. The hinges in the Xtra Easy 2 Trainer have already

been glued in place during manufacturing. Check the ailerons

for freedom of movement by flexing them up and down several

times.

Step 2. Locate the aluminum wing tube and carefully slide it

into the opening in one of the wing halves. The fit may be snug,

so use a twisting motion while inserting the tube. There is a

short metal pin located near the trailing edge that will key into

the opposite wing panel and keep the wing from rotating around

the wing tube. Carefully slide the other wing half onto the wing

tube. Align the metal pin with its hole and press the wing

panels together.

Step 3. Locate the wing joiner tape and apply it to the top and

bottom of the wing along the joint. Start at the top of the trailing

edge and wrap it around the front of the wing and to the bottom

trailing edge.

Step 4. The aileron servo lead has been tied around the link-

age for shipment. Untie the servo lead to free up the aileron

linkage. Note that the lead has been labeled with a piece of

tape; do not remove this tape. One of the aileron linkages has

already been connected to the aileron and secured with a small

piece of tubing (clevis keeper). This is done to prevent the

clevis from opening during flight.

Connect the other aileron linkage to the aileron and snap the

clevis in place. Slide the clevis keeper over the clevis to secure

the linkage to the aileron.

Step 1-3

Wrap supplied

clear tape around

the center joint.

Step 1-1

Remove shipping tape.

Step 1-2

Slide both wing panels onto

the metal tube.

Step 1-4

Attach clevis.

Section 2. Installing the Main Landing Gear and

Wing Hold-Down Dowels

Step 1. Locate the aluminum main landing gear. The wheels

have already been attached. You should have two screws

remaining from the hardware package. Apply a drop of thread-

lock to each screw. Then, insert them through the holes in the

landing gear and attach the landing gear to the fuselage.

Step 2. Locate the two wing hold-down dowels and insert

one into each of the two holes located in the fuselage, using

a careful twisting motion to install. The dowels should be

positioned so an equal amount is projecting from either side

of the fuselage.

Step 2-1

Mount landing gear to fuselage

with the two screws provided.

Apply threadlock to threads of the screws prior

mounting to landing gear.

Short Screw

Step 2-2

Section 3: Installing the Tail Assembly

Locate the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer

assemblies. The rudder and elevator have been prehinged

at the factory and the control horns are also attached.

Remove the shipping tape holding the rudder and elevator

in place. Check both the rudder and elevator for freedom of

movement.

Step 1. The vertical stabilizer has threaded rods in the bottom

that secure it to the horizontal stabilizer. Insert the threaded

rods through the pre-drilled holes in the horizontal stabilizer.

Secure them together using the two large washers and two wing

nuts. Be sure to use a drop of threadlock on the threaded rods

before tightening the wing nuts.

Step 2. Slide the tail assembly into the slot in the rear of

the fuselage; making sure the rudder pushrod is on top of the

horizontal stabilizer. Use the two long screws and two small

washers to secure the tail assembly to the fuselage. There are

holes in the bottom of the fuselage to access the screw loca-

tions. Place a drop of threadlock on the screws before installing

the screws.

Hint: Use a magnetic screwdriver when installing

the screws.

Attach the vertical stabilizer to the

horizontal stabilizer using washer

and wing nut.

Apply threadlock

to the threaded

rods before

installing wing

nuts.

Section 4: Installing the Propeller on the

Evolution Trainer Engine

Step 3. Connect the rudder and elevator pushrod clevises to

the pre-installed control horns. Install the clevises into the hole

furthest away from the control surface (see illustration). Secure

each clevis to the control horn by snapping the clevis pin into

the hole. To prevent the clevises from accidentally opening in

flight make sure the clevis keeper is slid up onto the clevis.

Step 1. Remove the prop nut and washer from the Evolution

engine, noting the position of the washer and flywheel.

Step 2. Locate the spinner and three self-tapping screws

included in your Xtra Easy 2™ RTF kit.

Clevis Keeper

Step 3-3

The rudder pushrod

is positioned above

the horizontal stabi-

lizer.

Section 4: Installing the Propeller on the

Evolution Trainer Engine (continued)

Step 3. With the flywheel in place, install the spinner back

plate onto the engine as shown.

Note: The flywheel is keyed in place onto the engines

crankshaft and should be tight against the front engine

bearing.

Step 4. Slide the propeller onto the engine with the molded

“E” facing forward as shown.

Step 5. Install the prop washer and prop nut removed in

Step 1. Make sure to position the beveled edge of the washer

forward.

Step 6. Using an adjustable wrench, tighten the prop nut

while holding the propeller in place.

Warning: The propeller must be securely tightened

before attempting to run your evolution engine. Be sure

to check the security of the propeller before each flying

session.

Note: The propeller must be positioned to allow the

spinner cone to fit into the slots in the back plate. Test

fit the spinner cone before attempting to install the self-

tapping screws of the spinner.
