SAFE OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS

• Inspect your model before every fl ight to ensure it is airworthy.

• Be aware of any other radio frequency user who may present an interference problem.

• Always be courteous and respectful of other users in your selected fl ight area.

• Choose an area clear of obstacles and large enough to safely accomodate your fl ying activity.

• Make sure this area is clear of friends and spectators prior to launching your aircraft.

• Be aware of other activities in the vicinity of your fl ight path that could cause potential confl ict.

• Carefully plan your fl ight path prior to launch.

• Abide by any and all established AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code.

BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY

• Remove parts from bag.

• Inspect fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for damage.

• If you fi nd damaged or missing parts, contact your place of purchase. If you fi nd any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun (HAN100) and covering glove (HAN150) or covering iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron sock (HAN141) to remove them. Use caution while working around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors.

• Charge transmitter and receiver batteries.

• Center trims and sticks on your transmitter.

• For a computer radio, create a model memory for this particular model.

30cc BUILDING PRECAUTIONS During assembly, we recommend resting the parts on a soft surface such as a soft towel to help prevent denting the sheeting. REMOVING WRINKLES The covering of your model may develop wrinkles during shipping and will require the use of a heat gun (HAN100) and covering glove (HAN150) or covering iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron sock (HAN141) to remove them. Use caution while working around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors. Avoid using too much heat, which could separate the colors. Placing a cool damp cloth on adjacent colors will also help in preventing the separation of the colors while removing wrinkles.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

When transporting and storing your model, you will need a minimum of 80 inches (2m) in length, and 18 inches (46cm) in height to accommodate the size of the fuselage. We also recommend the use of a wing bag and stabilizer bags to help protect these surfaces during transport and storage. The control horns and linkages can also cause damage to nearby surfaces even when placed in storage bags. Always place surfaces so the tops are together to prevent damage from the control horns and linkages.

OPTIONAL FLOAT INSTALLATION

When installing the recommended fl oats on your Ultra Stick 30cc, make sure to use the optional fl oat strut set HAN236519. These struts are longer than those in the recommended fl oat kit and provide the necessary propeller clearance for water operation. When installing the struts, make sure to use the longer struts at the front, and the shorter struts at the rear. This is necessary to obtain the correct angle between the wing and fl oats.

1. Mount the ignition module in the fuselage. Route the

spark plug cap through the hole in the fi rewall. Connect the lead from the engine to the appropriate lead on the module.

30cc CAUTION: You must adjust your aircraft’s center of gravity and balance your model properly before attempting fl ights.

An important part of preparing the aircraft for fl ight is properly balancing the model.

1. Attach the wing panels to the fuselage. Make sure to connect the leads from the aileron to the appropriate leads

from the receiver. Make sure the leads are not exposed outside the fuselage before tightening the wing bolts. Your model should be fl ight-ready before balancing.

2. The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your model is 4

inches (115mm) behind the leading edge of the wing.

3. When balancing your model, make sure it is assembled and ready for fl ight. Support the plane upright at the

marks made on the wing with your fi ngers or a commercially available balancing stand. CONTROL THROWS

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.

When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary.

2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom of the

transmitter will make the airplane elevator move up.

3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will make the

right aileron move up and the left aileron move down.

4. Use a throw meter to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons and rudder. Set the high rates fi rst, then use the

rate functions to set the remaining rates. Aileron (high rate): Aileron (low rate): Up: 2

inches (55mm) Down: 1 inch (25mm) Elevator (high rate): Elevator (low rate): Up: 2

inches (55mm) Down: 1

inches (27mm) Rudder (high rate): Rudder (low rate): Right: 2

inches (70mm) Right: 1

inches (35mm) Left: 2

inches (70mm) Left: 1

inches (35mm) Flaps: Mid 1 inches (25mm) Landing 2

inches (55mm) These are general guidelines measured from our own fl ight tests. You can experiment with different rates to match your preferred style of fl ying. Travel Adjust and Sub-Trims are not listed and should be adjusted according to each individual model and preference. Always install the control horns 90 degrees to the servo center line. Use sub-trim as a last resort to center the servos. We highly recommend re-binding the radio system once all of the control throws are set. This will keep the servos from moving to their endpoints until the transmitter and receiver connect.

• Charge the transmitter, receiver and motor battery for your airplane. Use the recommended charger supplied with your radio system. Follow the instructions provided with the radio. Charge the radio system the night before each fl ying session. Charge the transmitter and receiver batteries using only included or manufacturer-recommended chargers. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions for your electronic components.

• Check the radio installation and make sure all control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle) move correctly (i.e., the correct direction and with the recommended throws).

• Check all the hardware (control horns, servo horns, and clevises) to make sure they are secure and in good condition.

• Prior to each fl ying session (and especially with a new model), perform a range check of your radio system. See your radio manual for the recommended range and instructions for your particular radio system.

• Run the motor. With the model securely anchored, repeat the range check procedure. The range should not be signifi cantly affected. If it is, do not attempt to fl y! Remove the radio equipment and have it inspected by the manufacturer.
