Airframe Assembly Required Parts Vertical fuselage Foam firewall Top fuselage stiffener (2) Bottom fuselage stiffener (2) Stabilizer/rear horizontal fuselage Main wing/front horizontal fuselage Required Tools and Adhesives Foam-safe CA Foam-safe CA activator Low tack tape 1. Place a piece of waxed paper or the packaging from your model onto your work surface. With the main wing resting on the waxed paper, slide the rear horizontal fuselage in position.
2. Slide the horizontal fuselage into the vertical fuselage, nose first. You will need to fold the elevator up onto the stabilizer and bend the horizontal fuselage slightly to fit it into the vertical fuselage. E-flite Enticememt F3P Profile Assembly Manual 3. Flip the elevator back into its correct position and align the tabs from the vertical fuselage into the slots in the horizontal fuselage. Do not glue the vertical fuse to the horizontal fuse at this time. 4.
5. Use a square and foam-safe CA to glue the vertical and horizontal fuselage pieces together. Start at the front and slowly work your way toward the rear of the fuselage, gluing small sections at a time. 6. Locate the top fuselage stiffeners Note the positioning of the stiffener in the following photos. Glue the stiffener to the top edge of the foam firewall to start. Again, work slowly, gluing the stiffener to the fuselage pieces.
7. Locate the bottom fuselage stiffeners Note the positioning of the stiffener in the following photo. Glue the stiffener to the top edge of the foam firewall to start. Glue the stiffener to the fuselage pieces using foam-safe CA. Carbon Rod/Landing Gear Installation Required Parts Assembled airframe Molded skid (2) 1 5/8-inch (41mm) carbon rod (2) 5 5/8-inch (144mm) carbon rod (2) 10 3/4-inch (274mm) carbon rod (2) 11 1/2-inch (294mm) carbon rod (2) 3/32 x 6 7/8-inch (2.
m 2. Locate the 10 3/4-inch (274mm) carbon rod. Position the rod from the slot near the leading edge of the wing to the rear position on the vertical fuselage. Glue ONLY the position at the wing at this time. The carbon will protrude out of the top of the wing for all struts about 1–2mm. 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the opposite wing panel. 5. Check the alignment of the wing to the fuselage to make sure the wing is not twisted and is parallel to the work surface.
7. Locate the two 5 5/8-inch (144mm) carbon rods. Insert the carbon rods between the vertical fin and horizontal stabilizer. Glue the rods at the fin ONLY using foam-safe CA, then use a square to check to make sure the fin is square to the stabilizer. Once the fin and stabilizer are square, use foam-safe CA to glue the carbon rods to the stabilizer. E-flite Enticememt F3P Profile Assembly Manual 8. Locate the two 3/32 x 6 7/8-inch (2.5mm x 175mm) landing gear struts.
14 9. Slide the struts through the fuselage and into the slot in the wing. Allow about 3/32-inch (2.5mm) of the strut protruding above the top of the wing. 10. Align the skids so they are parallel to the horizontal fuselage and use foam-safe CA to glue the landing gear to the vertical fuselage and wing.
Servo Installation Required Parts Airframe assembly Control horn support (3) Rudder control horn support Heat-shrink tubing (4) 1/16 x 13/16-inch (2mm x 20mm) carbon control horn (4) 4-inch (103mm) carbon pushrods (2) 14 7/16-inch (370mm) carbon pushrod (1) 15 5/8-inch (398mm) carbon pushrod (1) Plywood pushrod supports (4) Required Tools and Adhesives Foam-safe CA Low-temperature hot glue Soldering iron 1.
16 2. Use foam-safe CA to glue the control horns to the ailerons and elevator. Make sure to remove any hinge tape using a hobby knife so the support is glued directly to the foam. All control horn supports should be perpendicular to the hinge line. 3. Use foam-safe CA to glue the rudder control horn to the rudder. The horn will be on the side opposite the elevator control horn. Again, remove any hinge tape so the horn is glued securely to the rudder.
4. Plug the servos into the radio system and make sure they operate and are centered as well. Also center the trims on the transmitter at this time. If you are using a computer radio, start with a clear model program and check that all sub trims are set to 0 and all throws are set to 100%. Prepare the servos for installation by attaching the long 3D arms on the servos and by removing any unnecessary arms from the elevator and rudder servo horns as shown.
D. Carefully drill out the servo spline at the correct angle for the carbon rod. E. Insert the carbon rod and glue it to the spline. (Do this with extreme caution!) The easiest way that we have found is to turn the servo upside down (spline down) and use thin CA that has been put on the end of a hobby knife blade. The following images show the servos installed with the previous modifications.
E-flite Enticememt F3P Profile Assembly Manual 5. Use low-temperature hot glue to secure the servos in the fuselage. All the output arms for the servos will face the front of the aircraft.
20 6. Use hook and loop tape to attach the receiver to the fuselage. Use clear tape to secure the servo leads to the fuselage so they will not interfere with the operation of the linkage in flight. Also plug the adapter for the speed control into the receiver at this time if necessary. m 7. Attach the Z-bend from the 4-inch (103mm) carbon pushrods to the outer holes of the aileron servo arm.
mmm 8. With the ailerons and aileron servo centered, check the distance between the horns and pushrods. There should be a 1/16-inch (1mm) gap between them. If not, use side cutters to trim the pushrods to the correct length. mmm 9. Slide the heat shrink tubing on the control horns, then slide the pushrods into the heat shrink, centering the heat shrink between the two. Use a soldering iron to shrink the tubing onto the control horns and pushrods for both ailerons.
m 11. Slide the two supports onto the 15 5/8-inch (398mm) rudder pushrod. m 13. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 to attach the pushrod to the control horn. m 12. Attach the Z-bend from the pushrod to the rudder servo. m 14. Use foam-safe CA to glue the pushrod supports in the notches in the fuselage. Make sure to position the supports so they do not bind the pushrod when operating the rudder.
m 15. The installation of the 14 7/16-inch (366mm) elevator pushrod is identical to that of the rudder pushrod. Repeat Steps 8 through 14 to install the elevator pushrod. m E-flite Enticememt F3P Profile Assembly Manual 16. Once all the pushrods have been installed, remove the low-tack tape holding the control surfaces centered and check the operation of your radio system.

Use a hobby knife to remove the foam from the firewall in the location for the motor leads and in the center of the firewall as well. 3. Attach the motor mount to the firewall using the hardware provided with the motor and a #0 Phillips screwdriver.
4. Pass the motor leads through the hole in the firewall. Attach the speed control to the leads at this time. E-flite Enticememt F3P Profile Assembly Manual 5. Attach the motor to the motor mount using the hardware provided with the motor.
WARNING: The next step will void your ESC warranty! This is only necessary to remove additional weight from your airframe. 7. Attach the battery to the fuselage using hook and loop tape. Remove the heat shrink from the ESC will also help to reduce the weight of the airframe. 26 6. Carefully secure the speed control in the "pocket" created by the bottom fuselage stiffener using hook and loop tape.
Important Information About Your Brushless ESC Important Information About Your Propeller Make sure your ESC brake is programmed to Off. Also, be sure to use an ESC with the proper low-voltage cutoff and it is set correctly for the batteries you are using. 8. Turn on the radio system and plug the battery into the speed control. Use the throttle to check that the motor rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front.
10. Attach the propeller to the motor following the instructions provided with the motor. Final Assembly Required Parts Assembled airframe Side force generator (4) Drag brake (2) Wheel pant (2) 1 3 /8-inch (80mm) carbon rod (4) 2-inch (50mm) carbon rod (2) Required Tools and Adhesives Foam-safe CA Square 28 Foam-safe CA activator Ruler 1. The side force generators are positioned on the wing, aligned with the two holes near the wing tip.
2. Position a 3 1/8-inch (80mm) carbon rod between the wing and each of the side force generators. Use foam-safe CA to glue the carbon rods to the wing. Double-check the alignment to make sure the side force generators are square to the wing; then use foam-safe CA to glue the carbon rods to the generators. E-flite Enticememt F3P Profile Assembly Manual 3. Measure and mark the center (top to bottom) of the drag brake. 4.
5. Position a 2-inch (50mm) carbon rod between the bottom of the aileron and each of the drag brakes. Use foam-safe CA to glue the carbon rods to the aileron. Double-check the alignment to make sure the drag brakes are square to the aileron, then use foam-safe CA to glue the carbon rods to the drag brakes. 6. At this time it is suggested to go back and check all the glue joints to make sure they are solid. Apply foamsafe CA to any areas that may need a little extra glue. 7.
Control Throws 1 . Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your Enticement. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter. When the stick is moved 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 down will make the airplane elevator move up. Center of Gravity An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly balancing the model.
Range Test Your Radio 1 . Before each flying session, be sure to range check your radio. This is accomplished by turning on your transmitter with the antenna collapsed. Turn on the receiver in your airplane. With your airplane on the ground and the engine running, you should be able to walk 30 paces (approximately 100 feet) away from your airplane and still have complete control of all functions. I f not, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment checked out by the manufacturer. 2 .
Flying Your Enticement Flying the Enticement is about as fun as it can get. Very light wing loading and extreme control throws make for some precise F3P flying. Verify that your CG is at the correct location as per the manual and that you have your rates set up to your liking. Verify all control throws are in the correct direction and the motor spins in the correct direction as well. Point the model into the wind and add some throttle trim until the motor begins to turn. This will be your flight idle.
2007 Official AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code GENERAL 1) I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows or model flying demonstrations until it has been proven to be airworthy by having been previously, successfully flight tested. 2) I will not fly my model higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
