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.

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.
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
TUCANO 60CC SCALE 1:4 ¼ 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.
NOTE:
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.
PREPARATIONS
Use a covering iron with a covering sock on
high heat to tighten the covering if necessary.
Apply pressure over sheeted areas to
thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.

INSTALLING THE AILERONs AND FLAPs
SERVOS
1. Install the rubber grommets and brass eyelets onto
the aileron servo.
2. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering from over
the pre-cut servo arm exit hole on the aileron servo
tray / hatch. This hole will allow the servo arm to pass
through when installing the aileron pushrods.
3. Place the servo into the servo tray. Center the servo
within the tray and drill pilot holes through the block
of wood for each of the four mounting screws
provided with the servo.
4. Using the thread 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.
5. Place the aileron servo tray / hatch into the servo
box on the bottom of the wing and drill pilot
holes through the tray and the servo box for
each of the four mounting screws. Secure the
servo tray in place using the mounting screws
provided .
6. Repeat step # 2 - # 5 to install the second aileron
servo in the opposite wing half.
