BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

Rudder : 60mm right 60mm left

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

WING ASSEMBLY

PARTS REQUIRED

• (2) Wing halves with ailerons.

• (1) Dihedral brace.

• (1) White self adhesive Trim Tape.

• (1) Gray self adhesive Trim Tape.

INSTALLING THE AILERONSERVO

1. Install the rubber grommets and brass eyelets

onto the aileron servo.

2. Turn the wing panel right side up. Using a

modeling knife, remove the covering from over

the precut servo lead exit hole on the top of the

wing sheeting. This hole will allow the servo

leads to pass through when the wing halves are

joined.

Remove the

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in

the mounting platform and to the vertical

stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the

lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place

and re-align. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical

stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal

stabilizer.

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer

in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use

more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled

previously and clean up the excess using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.

1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the

mounting platform in the top of the fuselage. Mark

the shape of the fuselage on the left and right

sides of the vertical stabilizer using a felt-tip pen.

TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a

guide and using masking tape, tape the servo

lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the

thread out. When you have pulled the servo

lead out, remove the masking tape and the

servo lead from the thread.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing

halves together to double check that the wing

halves still fit correctly.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

one nylon clevis at least 14 turns onto one of

the 2mm x 260mm threaded wires.

2. Attach the clevis to the outer hole in the control

horn. Install a silicone tube on the clevis

3. Locate one nylon servo arm, and using wire

cutters,remove all but one of the arms. Using a

2mm drill bit, enlarge the third hole out from the

center of the arm to accommodate the aileron

pushrod wire.

4. Plug the aileron servo into the receiver and center

the servo. Install the servo arm onto the servo.

The servo arm should be perpendicular to the

servo and point toward the middle of the wing.

5. Center the aileron and hold it in place using a

couple of pieces of masking tape.

6. With the aileron and aileron servo centered,

carefully place a mark on the aileron pushrod

wire where it crosses the hole in the servo arm.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Horizontal stabilizer with Elevator halves.

1. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering

from the fuselage for the stabilizer and remove it.

8. Insert the 90 degree bend down through the

hole in the servo arm. Install one nylon snap

keeper over the wire to secure it to the arm.

Install the servo arm retaining screw and

remove the masking tape from the aileron.

9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron

linkage. After both linkages are completed,

connect both of the aileron servo leads using a

Y-harness you have purchased separately.

3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.

Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and

centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,

but don't glue anything yet.

4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,

mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and

bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /

non-permanent felt-tip pen.

5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering

from between them using a modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,

cut with only enough pressure to only cut

through the covering it's self. Cutting into the

balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead

to possible failure during flight.

2. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering

from the fuselage for the vertical and remove it.

ALIGNING THE BELLY PAN

1. With the wing securely attached to the fuselage,

trial fit the belly pan to the bottom of the wing.

The sides of the belly pan, at both the front and

the rear, should be flush with the sides of the

fuselage.

2. When satisfied with the fit, hold the belly pan in

place on the wing using pieces of masking tape.

3. With the belly pan hold firmly in place and

aligned properly, use a felt tip pen and outline

the belly pan onto the wing surface on the two

outside edges of the belly pan.

4. Remove the belly pan. Using the lines as a

guide, use a modeling knife and carefully

remove the covering from just inside the edge

of each line. Be careful not to cut in to the balsa

under the covering.

5. Glue the plywood plate onto the bottom of the

wing as show.

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY

1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into

the receiver. You may want to plug an aileron

extension into the receiver to make plugging in

the aileron servo lead easier when you are

installing the wing. Plug the battery pack lead

into the switch.

2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the

protective foam to protect them from vibration.

Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the

foam in place.

3. Position the battery pack and receiver behind

the fuel tank. Use the two light plywood pieces,

placed over the battery and receiver and glue

to the fuselage sides to hold the battery and

receiver securely in place. Use 15mm triangle

pieces glued between the fuselage sides and

the plywood pieces to reinforce the joints.

Do not permanently secure the receiver and

battery until after balancing the model.

4. Using a 2mm drill bit, drill a hole through the

side of the fuselage, near the receiver, for the

antenna to exit.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH

1. The switch should be mounted on the fuselage

side, opposite the muffler, close enough to the

receiver so the lead will reach. Use the face

plate of the switch cut out and locate the

mounting holes.

2. Cut out the switch hole using a modeling knife.

Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two

mounting holes through the fuselage side.

3. Secure the switch in place using the two

machine screws provided with the radio system

INSTALLING THE BELLY PAN

1. Remove the covering from the rear of the belly pan.

2. Mix up a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Apply a thin layer of epoxy to the bottom edges

of the belly pan. Carefully set the belly pan back

in place on the wing and align it as you did

previously. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

3. Hold the belly pan firmly in place using strips of

masking tape along the entire gluing surface.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before you remove

the masking tape.

Be carefully not to get any epoxy between the

wing and the fuselage.

Receiver

!!!

After installing the adjustable metal connector

apply a small drop of thin C/A to the bottom nut.

This will prevent the connector from loosening

during flight.

2. Plug the throttle servo into the receiver and turn

on the radio system. Check to ensure that the

throttle servo output shaft is moving in the

correct direction. When the throttle stick is

moved forward from idle to full throttle, the

throttle barrel should also open and close using

this motion. If not, reverse the direction of the

servo, using the transmitter.

3. Slide the adjustable metal connector / servo

arm assembly over the plain end of the pushrod

wire. Position the throttle stick and the throttle

trim at their lowest positions.

4. Manually push the carburator barrel fully closed.

Angle the arm back about 45 degree from

center and attach the servo arm onto the servo.

With the carburator barrel fully closed, tighte

the set screw in the adjustable metal connector.

5. Remove the excess throttle pushrod wire using wire

cutters and install the servo arm retaining screw.

4. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill

four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl

and the side edges of the firewall.

5. Using a 3mm drill bit, enlarge the four holes in

the cowling

Enlarging the holes through the cowl will

prevent the fiberglass from splitting when the

mounting screws are installed.

6. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure

it in place using four 4mm x 16mm wood

screws.

7. Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and

pressure lines to the carburator, muffler and

fuel filler valve. Tighten the screws completely.

MOUNTING THE COWL

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Fiberglass cowl

· (4) 2.6mm x 10mm screws

1. Remove the muffler and needle valve assembly

from the engine. Slide the fiberglass cowl over

the engine.

2. Measure and mark the locations to be cut out

for engine head clearance, needle valve,

muffler,. Remove the cowl and make these

cutouts using a rotary tool with a cutting disc

and a rotary sanding drum attachment.

3. Slide the cowl back into place. Align the front of

the cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The

front of the cowl should be positioned so the

crankshaft is in the middle of the precut

opening. Hold the cowl firmly in place using

several pieces of masking tape.

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES

Made in Vietnam

When ready to fly, first extend the

transmitter aerial.

Operate the control sticks on the

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in

the mounting platform and to the vertical

stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the

lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place

and re-align. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical

stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal

stabilizer.

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer

in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use

more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled

previously and clean up the excess using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.

1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the

lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the

thread out. When you have pulled the servo

lead out, remove the masking tape and the

servo lead from the thread.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing

halves together to double check that the wing

halves still fit correctly.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering

from between them using a modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,

cut with only enough pressure to only cut

through the covering it's self. Cutting into the

balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead

to possible failure during flight.

2. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering

from the fuselage for the vertical and remove it.

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the top and

bottom of the stabilizer mounting area and to

the stabilizer mounting platform sides in the

fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in place and

re-align. Double check all of your

measurements one more time before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

INSTALLING THE engine mount

1. Install the engine mount into the firewall as shown

INSTALLING THE throttle pushrod housing

1. Place the engine into the engine mount and

align it properly with the front of the cowling.

The distance from the firewall to the front of the

engine thrust washer should [105mm]

If your engine is equipped with a remote needle

valve, we suggest installing it into the engine at

this time.

2. When satisfied with the alignment of the engine,

use a pencil and mark the mounting hole

location onto the firewall, where the throttle

pushrod will exit.

3. Now, remove the engine. Using a 5mm drill bit,

drill holes through the firewall and the forward

bulkhead at the marks made.

4. Slide the pushrod housing through the hole in

the firewall, through the hole in the forward

bulkhead, and into the servo compartment.

5. Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the

pushrod housing where it exits the firewall and

where it passes through the forward bulkhead.

This will secure the housing in place.

6. Using a modeling knife, cut off the nylon pushrod

housing 26mm in front of the servo tray.

INSTALLING THE ENGINE

Locate the long piece of wire used for the throttle

pushrod. One end of the wire has been pre-bend in

to a "Z" bend at the factory. This "Z" bend should be

inserted into the throttle arm of the engine when the

engine is fitted onto the engine mount. Fit the engine

to the engine mount using the screws provided.

FUEL TANK

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Nylon fuel tank.

· (1) Metal clunk.

· (1) Silicon tube.

· (1) 165mm x 250mm foam.

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY

1. The stopper has been pre-assembled at the

factory.

2. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon

fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line is

calculated by how the weighted clunk should

rest about 8mm away from the rear of the tank

and move freely inside the tank). Connect one

end of the line to the weighted clunk and the

other end to the nylon pick up tube in the

stopper.

3. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a

45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This

tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.

4. Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a

45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This

tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve

When the stopper assembly is installed in the

tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just

below the top surface of the tank. It should not

touch the top of the tank.

When ready to fly, first extend the

transmitter aerial.

Operate the control sticks on the

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

halves still fit correctly.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

Rudder : 60mm right 60mm left

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in

the mounting platform and to the vertical

stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the

lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place

and re-align. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical

stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal

stabilizer.

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer

in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use

more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled

previously and clean up the excess using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.

1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the

mounting platform in the top of the fuselage. Mark

the shape of the fuselage on the left and right

sides of the vertical stabilizer using a felt-tip pen.

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a

guide and using masking tape, tape the servo

lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the

thread out. When you have pulled the servo

lead out, remove the masking tape and the

servo lead from the thread.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing

halves together to double check that the wing

halves still fit correctly.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

remove the masking tape from the aileron.

9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron

linkage. After both linkages are completed,

connect both of the aileron servo leads using a

Y-harness you have purchased separately.

3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.

Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and

centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,

but don't glue anything yet.

4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,

mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and

bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /

non-permanent felt-tip pen.

5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering

from between them using a modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,

cut with only enough pressure to only cut

through the covering it's self. Cutting into the

balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead

to possible failure during flight.

apply a small drop of thin C/A to the bottom nut.

This will prevent the connector from loosening

during flight.

2. Plug the throttle servo into the receiver and turn

on the radio system. Check to ensure that the

throttle servo output shaft is moving in the

correct direction. When the throttle stick is

moved forward from idle to full throttle, the

throttle barrel should also open and close using

this motion. If not, reverse the direction of the

servo, using the transmitter.

3. Slide the adjustable metal connector / servo

arm assembly over the plain end of the pushrod

wire. Position the throttle stick and the throttle

trim at their lowest positions.

4. Manually push the carburator barrel fully closed.

Angle the arm back about 45 degree from

center and attach the servo arm onto the servo.

With the carburator barrel fully closed, tighte

the set screw in the adjustable metal connector.

5. Remove the excess throttle pushrod wire using wire

cutters and install the servo arm retaining screw.

4. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill

four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl

and the side edges of the firewall.

5. Using a 3mm drill bit, enlarge the four holes in

the cowling

Enlarging the holes through the cowl will

prevent the fiberglass from splitting when the

mounting screws are installed.

6. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure

it in place using four 4mm x 16mm wood

screws.

7. Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and

pressure lines to the carburator, muffler and

fuel filler valve. Tighten the screws completely.

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES

Made in Vietnam

When ready to fly, first extend the

transmitter aerial.

Operate the control sticks on the

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

I/C FLIGHT WARNINGS

Always operate in open areas, away

from factories, hospitals, schools,

buildings and houses etc. NEVER fly

your aircraft close to people or built

up areas.

THE PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS

Keep fingers, clothing (ties, shirt

sleeves, scarves) or any other loose

objects that could be caught or drawn

in, away from the propeller. Take care

at ALL times.

Keep all onlookers (especially small

children and animals) well back from

the area of operation. This is a flying

aircraft, which will cause serious

injury in case of impact with a person

or animal.

NEVER fly near power lines, aerials

or other dangerous areas including

airports, motorways etc.

NEVER use damaged or deformed

propellers or spinners.

DO NOT dispose of empty fuel

containers on a fire, this can lead to

an explosion.

NEVER fly in wet conditions or on

windy or stormy days.

ALWAYS adjust the engine from

behind the propeller, and do not allow

any part of your body to be in line

with the propeller.

1. Mark the holes for the axles on both sides of

one wheel pant 10mm up from the bottom edge

and centered in the wheel opening. Drill 5mm

holes at the marks.

2. Cut the wheel pant at one of the holes to make

a slot. When cutting the other wheel pant later,

be certain to cut on the other side so there will

be a right and a left wheel pant.

4. Fit the assembly into the wheel pant. Use thread

lock and another nut to tighten the axle and the

wheel pant to the landing gear. Tighten the

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

Rudder : 60mm right 60mm left

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in

the mounting platform and to the vertical

stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the

lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place

and re-align. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical

stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal

stabilizer.

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer

in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use

more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled

previously and clean up the excess using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.

1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the

mounting platform in the top of the fuselage. Mark

the shape of the fuselage on the left and right

sides of the vertical stabilizer using a felt-tip pen.

lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the

thread out. When you have pulled the servo

lead out, remove the masking tape and the

servo lead from the thread.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing

halves together to double check that the wing

halves still fit correctly.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

keeper over the wire to secure it to the arm.

Install the servo arm retaining screw and

remove the masking tape from the aileron.

9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron

linkage. After both linkages are completed,

connect both of the aileron servo leads using a

Y-harness you have purchased separately.

3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.

Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and

centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,

but don't glue anything yet.

4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,

mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and

bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /

non-permanent felt-tip pen.

5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering

from between them using a modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,

cut with only enough pressure to only cut

through the covering it's self. Cutting into the

balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead

to possible failure during flight.

When ready to fly, first extend the

transmitter aerial.

Operate the control sticks on the

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

WING ASSEMBLY

PARTS REQUIRED

• (2) Wing halves with ailerons.

• (1) Dihedral brace.

• (1) White self adhesive Trim Tape.

• (1) Gray self adhesive Trim Tape.

INSTALLING THE AILERONSERVO

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in

the mounting platform and to the vertical

stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the

lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place

and re-align. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical

stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal

stabilizer.

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer

in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use

more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled

previously and clean up the excess using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

I/C FLIGHT WARNINGS

Always operate in open areas, away

from factories, hospitals, schools,

buildings and houses etc. NEVER fly

your aircraft close to people or built

up areas.

THE PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS

Keep fingers, clothing (ties, shirt

sleeves, scarves) or any other loose

objects that could be caught or drawn

in, away from the propeller. Take care

at ALL times.

Keep all onlookers (especially small

children and animals) well back from

the area of operation. This is a flying

aircraft, which will cause serious

injury in case of impact with a person

or animal.

NEVER fly near power lines, aerials

or other dangerous areas including

airports, motorways etc.

NEVER use damaged or deformed

propellers or spinners.

DO NOT dispose of empty fuel

containers on a fire, this can lead to

an explosion.

NEVER fly in wet conditions or on

windy or stormy days.

ALWAYS adjust the engine from

behind the propeller, and do not allow

any part of your body to be in line

with the propeller.

1. Mark the holes for the axles on both sides of

one wheel pant 10mm up from the bottom edge

and centered in the wheel opening. Drill 5mm

holes at the marks.

2. Cut the wheel pant at one of the holes to make

a slot. When cutting the other wheel pant later,

be certain to cut on the other side so there will

be a right and a left wheel pant.

4. Fit the assembly into the wheel pant. Use thread

lock and another nut to tighten the axle and the

wheel pant to the landing gear. Tighten the

collars.

5. Mount the other wheel pant and wheel to the

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

Rudder : 60mm right 60mm left

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

SUGGESTION

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

WING ASSEMBLY

PARTS REQUIRED

• (2) Wing halves with ailerons.

• (1) Dihedral brace.

• (1) White self adhesive Trim Tape.

• (1) Gray self adhesive Trim Tape.

INSTALLING THE AILERONSERVO

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in

the mounting platform and to the vertical

stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the

lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place

and re-align. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical

stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal

stabilizer.

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer

in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use

more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled

previously and clean up the excess using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Vertical stabilizer with rudder.

1. Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the

mounting platform in the top of the fuselage. Mark

the shape of the fuselage on the left and right

sides of the vertical stabilizer using a felt-tip pen.

TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

4. Using the thread (Not included in the kit) as a

guide and using masking tape, tape the servo

lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the

thread out. When you have pulled the servo

lead out, remove the masking tape and the

servo lead from the thread.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing

halves together to double check that the wing

halves still fit correctly.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

one nylon clevis at least 14 turns onto one of

the 2mm x 260mm threaded wires.

2. Attach the clevis to the outer hole in the control

horn. Install a silicone tube on the clevis

3. Locate one nylon servo arm, and using wire

cutters,remove all but one of the arms. Using a

2mm drill bit, enlarge the third hole out from the

center of the arm to accommodate the aileron

pushrod wire.

4. Plug the aileron servo into the receiver and center

the servo. Install the servo arm onto the servo.

The servo arm should be perpendicular to the

servo and point toward the middle of the wing.

5. Center the aileron and hold it in place using a

couple of pieces of masking tape.

6. With the aileron and aileron servo centered,

carefully place a mark on the aileron pushrod

wire where it crosses the hole in the servo arm.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Horizontal stabilizer with Elevator halves.

1. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering

from the fuselage for the stabilizer and remove it.

8. Insert the 90 degree bend down through the

hole in the servo arm. Install one nylon snap

keeper over the wire to secure it to the arm.

Install the servo arm retaining screw and

remove the masking tape from the aileron.

9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron

linkage. After both linkages are completed,

connect both of the aileron servo leads using a

Y-harness you have purchased separately.

3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.

Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and

centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,

but don't glue anything yet.

4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,

mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and

bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /

non-permanent felt-tip pen.

5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering

from between them using a modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,

cut with only enough pressure to only cut

through the covering it's self. Cutting into the

balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead

to possible failure during flight.

ALIGNING THE BELLY PAN

1. With the wing securely attached to the fuselage,

trial fit the belly pan to the bottom of the wing.

The sides of the belly pan, at both the front and

the rear, should be flush with the sides of the

fuselage.

2. When satisfied with the fit, hold the belly pan in

place on the wing using pieces of masking tape.

3. With the belly pan hold firmly in place and

aligned properly, use a felt tip pen and outline

the belly pan onto the wing surface on the two

outside edges of the belly pan.

4. Remove the belly pan. Using the lines as a

guide, use a modeling knife and carefully

remove the covering from just inside the edge

of each line. Be careful not to cut in to the balsa

under the covering.

5. Glue the plywood plate onto the bottom of the

wing as show.

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY

1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into

the receiver. You may want to plug an aileron

extension into the receiver to make plugging in

the aileron servo lead easier when you are

installing the wing. Plug the battery pack lead

into the switch.

2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the

protective foam to protect them from vibration.

Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the

foam in place.

3. Position the battery pack and receiver behind

the fuel tank. Use the two light plywood pieces,

placed over the battery and receiver and glue

to the fuselage sides to hold the battery and

receiver securely in place. Use 15mm triangle

pieces glued between the fuselage sides and

the plywood pieces to reinforce the joints.

Do not permanently secure the receiver and

battery until after balancing the model.

4. Using a 2mm drill bit, drill a hole through the

side of the fuselage, near the receiver, for the

antenna to exit.

After installing the adjustable metal connector

apply a small drop of thin C/A to the bottom nut.

This will prevent the connector from loosening

during flight.

2. Plug the throttle servo into the receiver and turn

on the radio system. Check to ensure that the

throttle servo output shaft is moving in the

correct direction. When the throttle stick is

moved forward from idle to full throttle, the

throttle barrel should also open and close using

this motion. If not, reverse the direction of the

servo, using the transmitter.

3. Slide the adjustable metal connector / servo

arm assembly over the plain end of the pushrod

wire. Position the throttle stick and the throttle

trim at their lowest positions.

4. Manually push the carburator barrel fully closed.

center and attach the servo arm onto the servo.

With the carburator barrel fully closed, tighte

the set screw in the adjustable metal connector.

5. Remove the excess throttle pushrod wire using wire

cutters and install the servo arm retaining screw.

4. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill

four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl

and the side edges of the firewall.

5. Using a 3mm drill bit, enlarge the four holes in

the cowling

Enlarging the holes through the cowl will

prevent the fiberglass from splitting when the

mounting screws are installed.

6. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure

it in place using four 4mm x 16mm wood

screws.

7. Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and

pressure lines to the carburator, muffler and

I/C FLIGHT GUIDELINES

Made in Vietnam

When ready to fly, first extend the

transmitter aerial.

Operate the control sticks on the

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

Ailerons : 10mm up 10mm down

Elevator : 12mm up 12mm down

CONTROL THROWS

1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using

the control throws listed.

2. The control throws should be measured at the

widest point of each control surface.

3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in

the correct directions.

assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or

brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to

protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls

handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.

NOTE

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned

properly before gluing! This will assure proper

assembly. The LASER ARF is hand made from

natural materials, every plane is unique and minor

adjustments may have to be made. However, you

should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A

glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone.

Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the

colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• This is not a toy

• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio

frequency.

• Do not smoke near fuel

• Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from

children and pets.

• Wear safety glasses.

• The glow plug clip must be securely attached to

the glow plug.

• Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

• Keep loose clothing and wires away from the

propeller.

• Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

• Make engine adjustments from behind the

propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning

propeller.

3. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering

from over the pre-cut servo box as shown.

INSTALL CA HINGES FOR

AILERON-ELEVATOR-RUDDER

Make sure the control surfaces will deflect to the

recommended throws without binding.If you have

to cut your hinge slots too far ,leaving only a small

portion of the hinge in the control surface .To avoid

this ,you may insert a small pin through the center

of each hinge before installing . This pin will keep

the hinge centered while you control surfaces.

Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of

each hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops

for the CA to wick into the slot.

4. When you are sure that everything is a aligned

correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30

minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the slot in

the mounting platform and to the vertical

stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the

lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place

and re-align. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Remove any excess epoxy using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the

stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.

Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

3. Slide the vertical stabilizer back in place. Using

a triangle, check to ensure that the vertical

stabilizer is aligned 90 degree to the horizontal

stabilizer.

7. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove the

masking tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer

in place and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use

more epoxy to fill in any gaps that were not filled

previously and clean up the excess using a

paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

lead to the end of the thread: carefully pull the

thread out. When you have pulled the servo

lead out, remove the masking tape and the

servo lead from the thread.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing

halves together to double check that the wing

halves still fit correctly.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the

wings where they join.

one nylon clevis at least 14 turns onto one of

the 2mm x 260mm threaded wires.

2. Attach the clevis to the outer hole in the control

horn. Install a silicone tube on the clevis

3. Locate one nylon servo arm, and using wire

cutters,remove all but one of the arms. Using a

2mm drill bit, enlarge the third hole out from the

center of the arm to accommodate the aileron

pushrod wire.

4. Plug the aileron servo into the receiver and center

the servo. Install the servo arm onto the servo.

The servo arm should be perpendicular to the

servo and point toward the middle of the wing.

5. Center the aileron and hold it in place using a

couple of pieces of masking tape.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED

· (1) Horizontal stabilizer with Elevator halves.

1. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering

from the fuselage for the stabilizer and remove it.

8. Insert the 90 degree bend down through the

hole in the servo arm. Install one nylon snap

keeper over the wire to secure it to the arm.

Install the servo arm retaining screw and

remove the masking tape from the aileron.

9. Repeat step # 4 - # 11 to install the second aileron

linkage. After both linkages are completed,

connect both of the aileron servo leads using a

Y-harness you have purchased separately.

3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its slot.

Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and

centered to the fuselage by taking measurements,

but don't glue anything yet.

4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,

mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and

bottom of the tail plane using a water soluble /

non-permanent felt-tip pen.

5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering

from between them using a modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering to remove it,

cut with only enough pressure to only cut

through the covering it's self. Cutting into the

balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead

to possible failure during flight.

2. Using a modeling knife, cut away the covering

from the fuselage for the vertical and remove it.

transmitter and check that the control

surfaces move freely and in the

CORRECT directions. ALWAYS land the model INTO the

wind, this ensures that the model lands

at the slowest possible speed.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch off the transmitter.

Check that the transmitter batteries

have adequate power.

Switch off the receiver.

Switch on the receiver. ALWAYS take off into the wind.

Check that the wings are correctly

fitted to the fuselage. If the model does not respond correctly

to the controls, land it as soon as

possible and correct the fault.

Empty the fuel tank after flying, fuel left

in the tank can cause corrosion and

lead to engine problems.

BALANCING

1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced

correctly. Improper balance will cause your

plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

140mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE. This

location is recommended for initial test flying

and trimming. There is a 10mm margin forward

and aft. BALANCE A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN

WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.

2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the

top side of the wing 140mm back from the

leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your

fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift

the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose

heavy. To correct this first move the battery

pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not

possible or does not correct it, stick small

amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under

the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane

falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this,

move the battery and receiver forward or if this

is not possible, stick weight into the firewall.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should

sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it

up with your fingers

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the

airplane track straighter.

1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of

heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to

the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully

lift the airplane by the string. This may require two

people to make it easier.

2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than

the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to

the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip.

Follow this procedure until the wing stays level

when you lift the airplane

140mm

FLIGHT PREPARATION

PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver

batteries before your first day of flying.

2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your

plane to ensure that everything is tight and well

bonded.

3. Double check the balance of the airplane

4. Check the control surface

5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6. Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many enjoyable flights with

your plane and once again thank you for

your choosing a Phoenix Model's product.

INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE

1. Look carefully at the surface of each root rib on

both wing halves. Notice how the excess

covering material overlaps onto them. Using a

modeling knife, carefully cut out away the

covering from both root ribs. Iron the covering

down so that it does not pull away from the ribs.

It is important that the excess covering be

removed from the root ribs. This will ensure an

adequate wood to wood glue joint.

2. Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the

center line of the dihedral brace. Draw the vertical

line at this location on each side of the brace.

3. Test fit the dihedral brace into the box in each

wing half. The brace should slide into each

wing half up to the center line. If it does not,

remove the brace and lightly sand the edges

and tips until the proper fit is obtained.

4. Test fit both of the wing halves together with the

dihedral brace temporarily installed. Do not

glue it in at this time! The wing halves should fit

together tight with little or no gaps in the center

section joint. If the center section joint is not

tight, remove the wing halves and lightly sand

the edges and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit

the wing halves together with the dihedral

brace installed again. Repeat until you are

satisfied with the fit of the wing halves. The

proper dihedral is built into the two root ribs and

should not be altered.

5. When satisfied with the fit of the wing halves,

remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.

Working with only one wing half for now, apply

a thin layer of epoxy inside the dihedral brace

box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make

sure to cover the dihedral brace top and bottom

as well as the sides, and use enough epoxy to

fill any gaps.

2. Slide the dihedral brace into the box up to the

center line. Remove any excess epoxy before it

dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.

4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Apply

a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, the inside of the dihedral brace

box and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make

sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully

align them at the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the

two wing halves in place until the epoxy cures.

6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check the

center section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill

any remaining gaps. Remove the excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
