Jumper 25

Instruction Man u al

Thank you for choosing the

Jumper 25

ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The

Jumper 25

was designed

with the in ter me di ate/advanced sport  yer in mind. It is a High-wing aeroplane which is easy to

 y and quick to assemble. The airframe is con ven tion al ly built using balsa, plywood and veneer

to make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light.

You will  nd that most of the work has been done for you already. The pushrods are pre-made to

the correct lengths, the motor mount has been  tted and the hinges are pre-installed and pinned

for security. Flying the

Jumper 25

is simply a joy.

This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great  ying aeroplane. Please read this

manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your

Jumper 25

. Use the parts listing below to

identify all parts.

We encourage you to let us know your comments. Fill out the consumer feedback survey at the back of

this manual, send us a letter or contact us at [email protected]. or [email protected](Australi

a) or [email protected](Vietnam).

Warning

Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is capable of

causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU ASSUME ALL RISK &

RE SPON SI BIL I TY.

If you are inexperienced with basic R/C  ight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier

and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training procedures

designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C  ight. They will also be able to advise on any

insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

NOTE:

To avoid scratching your new aer o plane

we sug gest that you cover your work-

bench with an old towel. Keep a couple

of jars or bowls handy to hold the small

parts after you open the bags.

Please trial  t all parts. Make sure you

have the correct parts and that they  t

and are aligned prop er ly be fore gluing!

This will ensure proper as sem bly as the

Jumper 25

is made from nat u ral ma-

terials and minor ad just ments may have

to be made.

The paint and plastic parts used in this kit

are fuel proof. How ev er, they are not tol-

erant of many harsh chem i cals in clud ing

the fol low ing: paint thinner, cyano-acr-

ylate glue ac cel er a tor, cy anoacr ylate

glue de-bonder and acetone. Do not let

these chem i cals come in contact with the

colours on the covering and the plas tic

parts.

WING ASSEMBLY

NOTE:

We highly recommend using 30 minute

epoxy as it is stronger and provides

more working time, al low ing the builder

to properly align the parts. Using fast cure

epoxy when joining the wing halves could



Test  t the dihedral brace into each wing

half. The brace should slide in easily up

to the centreline that you drew. If not, use

220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block

and sand down the edges and ends of

the brace until it  ts properly.

NOTE:

The dihedral brace is cut in the shape

of a “V”. This shape gives the wing the

correct dihedral angle. Make sure you

do not test  t the brace upside down.



Remove the brace when sat is  ed with

its  t in each wing half. Coat both sides

of one half of the di he dral brace with 30

minute epoxy. Next, pour some epoxy into

the dihedral box in one wing panel. Make

sure you cover the top and bottom as well

as the sides of the dihedral brace. Use

enough epoxy to  ll any gaps.



Insert the dihedral brace into the di he dral

box up to the centreline. With paper tow-

els wipe off any ex cess epoxy that may

have squeezed out of the joint .

result in the glue drying before the wing

halves are aligned properly which may

result in failure of the wing cen tre section

during  ight.



Locate the plywood wing dihedral brace.

Using a ruler, locate its centre and draw

a vertical line .

Dihedral brace

Jumper 25

Instruction Man u al



Once the epoxy has cured, trial  t

both wing halves together. The cen tre

ribs should  t together  ush with no

gaps. If gaps do exist, use 220 grit

sandpaper and sand down the high

spots on the root ribs and the wing

joiner until a proper  t is achieved. The

correct amount of dihedral is ready-

built into the wings. With one wing half

laid  at on the table, the other wing

tip should be ap prox i mate ly 8cm off

the table surface. If this needs to be

adjusted, you may do so by sanding

small amounts from the cen tre ribs

or dihedral brace.



Carefully apply masking tape around

the top and bottom edge of the root

rib of each wing half to protect them

from damage caused by epoxy.



Mix a generous amount of 30 minute

epoxy. Coat the exposed half of the

dihedral brace, and the remaining

wing joiner box and both root ribs

with epoxy. Slide the two wing halves

to geth er and carefully align them at

the leading and trailing edges. Wipe

away any excess epoxy using paper

tow els. Use mask ing tape wrapped

around the centre section to hold

the halves in place until the epoxy

cures.

glue the servo mount into place. Remove

any ex cess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol. Use pieces of masking tape

to hold the tray in place until the ep oxy fully

cures.
