UltraCote® Covering Colors Safe Operating Recommendations • Inspect your model before every flight to make certain it is airworthy. • Be aware of any other radio frequency user who may present an interference problem. White Orange Pearl Purple Silver Black HANU870 HANU877 HANU847 HANU881 HANU874 The following items are recommended when installing the 9-Channel AR9100 receiver (SPMAR9100) in your aircraft: Always be courteous and respectful of other users of your selected flight area.

5. Use the hook and loop strap to secure the receiver in position. Make sure to use foam to isolate the receiver from the airframe. 6. Use hook and loop tape to attach the remote receivers in the fuselage as shown. Make sure to route the leads for the receivers away from servo leads and battery leads. Holes have been laser cut to route the leads through the formers. Note the direction of the antenna on each receiver. This is done for the best reception from your radio system. 7.
Battery and Regulator Installation 3D Flight Required Parts Fuselage Hook and loop strap (2) 12-inch EC3 extension (2) Tie-wraps Battery (2) Side mount plates (2) 1/4-inch (6mm) foam rubber (not included) Regulator with accessories (2) #4 x 1/2 sheet metal screws (8) (not included) 6-inch (152mm) servo extension (2) Required Tools and Adhesives 5-minute epoxy Pin vise Mixing cups Phillips screwdriver: #1 Hobby knife with #11 blade Scissors Drill bit: 5/64 inch (2mm) Mixing sticks Paper towels 2.
Note: Use the 4-pin balance connection (THP4P10E) on the receiver Li-Po batteries to make it easier to connect the charger. The receiver extension can be used on the charger balance lead for this purpose. 7. Wrap a piece of foam rubber around the receiver battery. Use a hook and loop strap to secure the receiver battery to the side mount plate. Note the direction of the leads: they will face to the rear of the fuselage. Prepare a right and left battery for installation at this time. 9.
2. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove the covering on the fuselage for the charge jacks on the right and left sides of the fuselage. Install charge jacks in the larger cutouts below the switches. 3. Locate the side mount plates. The tabs on one side are longer than those on the opposite side. The longer tabs will face down into the fuselage when the plates are installed. 10 4. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the mounting 6.
Engine Installation (Evolution 80GX) 8. Connect the regulator to the receiver using a 12-inch (305mm) EC3 extension. Route the lead through the openings in the formers. Use tie wraps to secure the lead inside the fuselage so it doesn’t move during flight. Make sure the lead for the receiver is routed away from the power leads to avoid radio interference. 10. Use 5-minute epoxy to secure the battery mount plate in the fuselage next to the fuel tank and behind the servo as shown.
Important: The fuel vent line has been wrapped up and back around the tank to stop the fuel tank from siphoning fuel during flight. 1. Use a drill and 5/16-inch drill bit to drill the four mounting holes for the engine mounting bolts. 3. Lightly sand the outside of the 12-inch (305mm) clear pushrod tube. Insert the tube through the hole in the sub-firewall and direct it toward the throttle servo. Position the tube so 2 inches (52mm) of the tube extends forward of the sub-firewall.
Note: It may be necessary to rotate the choke lever depending on how the choke will be operated. Make sure the position of the lever is such that the linkage can operate the lever from the open to closed positions. Note: Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners. 7. Slide the engine into position on the firewall. The throttle (and choke) pushrod will slide into the appropriate guide tube.
12. Secure the pushrod wire to the servo arm using a pushrod connector. Snap the connector on the pushrod wire to secure. Lightly sand the pushrod tube using medium sandpaper in the location of the plywood pushrod support. This will allow the CA to adhere the tube to the support. 14. Repeat Steps 9 through 13 to connect the choke linkage to the choke servo. Note the servo and choke will be in the open position when connecting the linkage.
18. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering for the ignition switch. Mount the switch using the hardware provided with the switch. Route the leads from the switch to the front of the fuselage. 20. Attach the muffler to the engine following the manufacturer’s instructions. 22. Use a 5/64-inch hex wrench to remove the four cowl mounting screws with the preinstalled painted washers and silicone tubing from their locations on the fuselage. Attach the cowling to the fuselage.
Optional Tuned Pipe Installation Required Parts Fuselage assembly Tuned pipe Tuned pipe header Tuned pipe coupler Medium silicone tubing #4 washer (2) 4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head screw (2) Tuned pipe mount, full, small inner diameter (2) Tuned pipe mount, full, large inner diameter (2) Tuned pipe mount, half 24. Mount the propeller and spinner on the engine. Make sure to balance the propeller to reduce any vibrations that may be transmitted to the airframe.
4. Place the pipe in the fuselage, passing it through the 6. Check the fit of the cowling over the tuned pipe. It Note: Most tuned pipes can be installed from the hatch opening into the fuse by carefully positioning the inlet side of the pipe beside the tank during installation. There will be some tuned pipes that may need to be installed through the front opening in the fuselage prior to fitting the engine to the firewall.
Engine Installation (DA85) 2. Use a drill and 3/32-inch (2.5mm) drill bit to drill the four locations for mounting the engine.
6. Attach the servo horn to the throttle servo. With the throttle servo and carburetor linkage in the closed position, use a felt-tipped pen to mark the linkage where it crosses the hole on the servo arm that is 3/8-inch (9.5mm) from the center of the servo horn. 8. Secure the pushrod wire to the servo arm using a pushrod connector. Snap the connector on the pushrod wire to secure. B. Use a rotary tool and cut-off wheel to cut the former along the lines made in the previous step. C.
D. Use a hobby knife to trim the covering 1/8-inch (3mm) away from the edges of the opening. The excess material will be sealed back into position to fuel-proof the area and make a clean installation of the opening. F. Remove the covering from the bottom of the fuselage Rudder and Tail Wheel Installation and cut the stringers as shown. Repeat Steps D through F to seal the covering around the opening. This is necessary to allow cooling air to pass through the fuselage to cool the canister muffler.
Note: Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners. 2. Attach the rudder servo arm onto the rudder servo using a 2.5mm hex wrench. Once installed, tighten the clamping bolts using a 3/32 hex wrench. 4. Check the fit of the tail wheel assembly on the bottom of the fuselage to make sure the rudder hinge wire does not interfere or make contact with the top of the tail wheel carbon leg during its installation.
3. Use the screws removed from the fuselage in Step 2 to secure the stabilizer to the fuselage.
3. Use a 3/32-inch hex wrench and replace the 4-40 x 3/4-inch socket head screws securing the landing gear cover on the fuselage. Wing Installation Required Parts Fuselage assembly Wing panel (right and left) Canopy hatch #4 washer (4) 4-40 x 1/2 inch button head bolt (4) Aluminum wing tube Required Tools and Adhesives Threadlock Hex wrench: 5/64-inch 1. Remove the preinstalled nylon wing bolts from the wing at this time. Slide the wing tube into one of the wing panels.
Decal Placement Required Parts Decal sheet Required Tools and Adhesives Paper towel Plastic squeegee Hobby scissor Hobby knife with #11 blade Completed airframe Spray bottle with water Dish washing liquid When applying the decals for your model, use a spray and a drop of dish washing liquid sprayed in the 4. Repeat Steps 1 though 3 to install the remaining wing bottle location of the decal to allow repositioning of the decal. panel. Use a paper towel as a squeegee to remove excess water 5.
Checking the Control Linkages and Centering the Control Surfaces Required Parts Assembled airframe Transmitter 3. Turn on the radio system. Make sure the sticks and trims are centered for the ailerons, elevators and rudder. The servo horns for the rudder and elevator must be perpendicular to the servo. It may be necessary to use the sub-trim feature of your radio system to center these servos. Control Throws Setting the control throws for your Sukhoi does require some attention to detail.
