CONGRATULATIONS. Thank you for choosing a Direct Airscale model. If you have any problems do not hesitate to consult our website. Especially the section CLUB DA (Direct Airscale club) for each plane where you will find information. You also can consult us directly by phone but try to be a maximum shorter . Thank you. You also can participate in the interaction you’ll find at general chapter CLUB DA. The RECREATION is the perfect aircraft to relax and, or, progress.
NOTE : To avoid scratching your new aer- oplane we suggest that you cover your workbench with an old towel. Keep a couple of jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts after you openthe bags. Please trial fit all parts. Make sure you have the correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly before gluing! This will ensure proper assembly as the RECREATION 148 is made from natural materials and minor adjustments may have to be made. The paint and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel proof.
5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the aileron in the opposite direction from the opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each hinge, making sure that the C/A penetrates into both the aileron and wing panel. Hinge 4) Deflect the aileron and completely saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The ailerons front surface should lightly contact the wing during this procedure.
3) Remove each hinge from the horizontal stabilizer panel and elevator and place a Tpin in the center of each hinge. Slide each hinge into the elevator until the T- pin is snug against the elevator. This will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is on either side of the hinge line when the elevator is mounted to the horizontal stabilizer panel. Knife. Epoxy Epoxy Glue the elevator hinges in place using the same techniques used to hinge the ailerons. HINGING THE RUDDER.
3) Attach servo lead to the aileron servo. Attach the string to the servo lead and carefully thread it though the wing. Once you have thread the lead throught the wing, remove the string so it can use for the other servo INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVO. Small weight.. . Servos . 1) Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto the aileron servo. Test fit the servo into the aileron servo mount. Because the size of servos differ, you may need to adjust the size of the precut openingin the mount.
) With the aileron servo centered and the aileron even with the trailing edge of the wing attach the clevis to the control horn. Mark the control wire where it crosses the servo arm hole. Mark point. Pen. Repeat the procedure for the other wing half. AILERON LINKAGE. 1) Using a ruler & pen to draw a straight line as below picture. 2) Locate the two nylon control horns, two nylon control horn backplates and four machine screws. Cut. 3) Position the aileron horn on the bottom side of aileron.
Repeat the procedure for the other aileron servos. Landing gear wire. INSTALLING THE MAIN GEAR WIRES. 3) The landing gear wire is held in place using two nylon landing gear straps and four 3mm x 15mm wood screws. The straps should be located equal distance from the inside and outside ends of the wire. Collar. 4) Using the two landing gear straps as a guide, mark the locations of the four 3x 10mm mounting screws onto the wing surface. Pen. Mark point.
Landing gear wire. 3x15 mm 6) Reinstall the gear wire and install the straps using the four 3 x 15mm wood screws. Tighten the screws completely to secure the gear wire in place. FUEL TANK. 4) Carefully heat the vent tube using a heat gun or lighter to permanently set the angle of the tube. A B INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY. 1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut off the rear portion of one of the two nylon tubes leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the stopper.
Using a modeling knife, cut one length of fuel line 20” long. Connect one line to the vent tube and one line to the fuel pick up tube on the stopper. See picture bellow. Blow through the tubes to make sure the lines have not become kinked during installation. Vent tube. Fuel pick up tube. Fuel fill tube. Fuel tank. INSTALLING THE SWITCH. 1) Install the switch into the precut hole in the fuselage side. Use the two screws provided with the switch to secure it in place.
INSTALLING THE FUSELAGE SERVOS. 1) Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto the elevator, rudder and throttle servos. Test fit the servos into the preinstalled servo tray. Because the size of servos differ, you may need to adjust the size of the precut openings in the tray. 4) Remove the engine. Using an drill bit, drill the mounting holes through the engine mount at the four locations marked. 115 mm Secure the servos with the screws provided from your radio system.
Pushrod wire. NOSE GEAR INSTALLATION. . Installing steering arm as below.
INSTALLING THE SPINNER. Install the spinner backplate, propeller and spinner cone. The spinner cone is held in place using two 3 x 15mm wood screws. The propeller should not touch any part of the spinner cone. If it does, use a sharp modeling knife and carefully trim away the spinner cone where the propeller comes in contact with it. - Model size: .46 size models - Motor: 35mm 830 rev per volt - Propeller: 13x 6 - ESC: 50A - Lipo Batteries: 4cell 4200mA 3mm ELECTRIC POWER CONVERSION.

Speed control. Battery. COWLING 1) Slide the fiberglass cowl over the motor and line up the back edge of the cowl with the marks you made on the fuselage then trim and cut as shown. 2) While keeping the back edge of the cowl flush with the marks, 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 nearly the middle of the cowl opening. Use the spinner backplate as a guide.
3x10mm 3) Install the muffler and muffler extension onto the engine and make the cutout in the cowl for muffler clearance. Connect the fuel and pressure lines to the carburetor, muffler and fuel filler valve. Secure the cowl to fuselage using the M3x10mm screws. HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. 1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trailing edge, and place a mark. Use a triangle and extend this mark, from back to front, across the top of the stabilizer.
4) With the stabilizer held firmly in place, use a pen and draw lines onto the stabilizer where it and the fuselage sides meet. Do this on both the right and left sides and top and bottom of the stabilizer. 7) When you are sure that everything is aligned 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 sidesin the fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in place and realign.
Pen. Hinge. 1) Using a modeling knife, remove the covering from over the precut hinge slot cut into the lower rear portion of the fuselage. This slot accepts the lower rudder hinge. 4) Remove the stabilizer. Using a modeling knife, remove the covering from below the lines you drew. Hinge slot. 2) Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in the top of the fuselage.
6) When you are sure that everything is aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the mounting slot in the top of the fuselage and to the sides and bottom of the vertical stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the bottom and top edges of the filler block and to the lower hinge also. Set the stabilizer in place and realign. Double check all of your measurements once more before the epoxy cures.
ELEVATOR - RUDDER PUSHROD INSTALLATION. INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY. 1) Plug the five servo leads and the switch lead into the receiver. Plug the battery packlead into the switch also. Elevator pushrod. Clevis. Control horn. Rudder pushrod. Pen. 2) Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the protective foam rubber to protect them from vibration. 3) Route the antenna out of the fuselage and secure it to the vertical stabilizer using a rubber band and a modified servo arm. See picture as below.
2) 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 sides under the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery and receiver for ward orif this is not possible, stick weight onto the firewall.
MAIDEN FLY. We will not give you any instructions in this part. This is not the role of a manufacturer and it would be unrealistic and even dangerous to think we can make adjustments prior to first flight just by reading a document. It necessarily requires a minimum of experience and you must get closer to a driver or experienced trainer. This will verify the magnitude and direction of the control and various other settings. Also good battery recharging, fuel quality and other studio and field accessories.
