Section 1: Landing Gear Installation Required Parts • Fuselage • Landing gear • 6-32 x 1/2" socket head screw (3) • #6 washer (3) • Wheel pant (right and left) • 4-40 x 3/8" socket head bolt (4) Step 2 Secure the wheel pant to the landing gear using two . 4-40 x 3/8" socket head screws. Make sure to use threadlock to prevent the screws from loosening . during flight.
Section 2: Receiver and Battery Installation Required Parts • Fuselage • Receiver battery Step 3 • Receiver Route the receiver antenna to the rear of the fuselage using the pre-installed antenna tube. Step 1 Wrap the receiver and receiver battery in 1/4" (6mm) . foam to protect them from engine vibrations. Step 2 Note: Do not cut the excess antenna wire as it will reduce the range of your radio system. Plug the servos, extensions and switch harness into the receiver.
Section 3: Tail Installation Required Parts • Fuselage • Stabilizer assembly • #4 washer Step 3 • Rudder assembly • 4-40 locknut (2) Secure the tail assembly to the fuselage using two 4-40 locknuts and two #4 washers. Required Tools and Adhesives • Adjustable wrench Step 1 Carefully slide the threaded rods from the rudder assembly into the stabilizer assembly. Note: Do not over-tighten the nuts and crush the fuselage. Step 4 Connect the rudder clevis to the rudder control horn.
Section 3: Tail Installation Step 5 Repeat Step 4 for the elevator.
Section 4: Spinner Installation Required Parts • Fuselage Required Tools and Adhesives • Phillips screwdriver • Propeller • Adjustable wrench Step 3 Slide the propeller onto the engine crankshaft. Install the washer and nut onto the engine crankshaft. Align the propeller so it is slightly away from the dimples of the spinner backplate. Step 1 Remove the plastic packaging cap from the crankshaft of the engine. Step 4 Step 2 Remove the propeller nut and washer from the crankshaft.
Section 4: Spinner Installation Step 5 Step 6 Use a crescent wrench to tighten the propeller nut. Secure the spinner cone to the spinner backplate using two 3mm x 12mm sheet metal screws. Section 5: Wing Installation Required Parts • Fuselage • Wing • Wing bolt plate • Wing tube 1 • 1/4-20 x 1 /2" nylon bolt (2) • 1 5/16" (33mm) wing dowel Step 2 Slide the remaining wing panel onto the wing tube aligning the dowel into the panel.
Control Throws The amount of control throw should be adjusted as closely as possible using mechanical means, rather than making large changes electronically at the radio. By moving the position of the clevis at the control horn toward the outermost hole, you will decrease the amount of control throw of the control surface. Moving it toward the control surface will increase the amount of throw.
Recommended Center of Gravity (CG) An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly balancing the model. Caution: Do not inadvertently skip this step! The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for . the Pulse™ XT is 2 3/4" (70mm) behind the leading edge . of the wing against the fuselage. Make sure the aircraft . is inverted when measuring the CG. If necessary, move . the battery pack or add weight to either the nose or the . tail until the correct balance is achieved. Stick-on .
Adjusting the Engine Step 1 Step 3 Completely read the instructions included with your engine and follow the recommended break-in procedure. Before you fly, be sure that your engine idles reliably, transitions and runs at all throttle settings. Only when this is achieved should any plane be considered ready for flight. Step 2 At the field, adjust the engine to a slightly rich setting at full throttle and adjust the idle and low-speed needle so that a consistent idle is achieved.
Glossary of Terms • Ailerons: Each side of this airplane has a hinged control surface (aileron), located on the trailing edge of the wing. Move the aileron stick on the transmitter left, the left aileron moves up and the right aileron moves down. Moving the left aileron up causes more drag and less lift, causing the left wing to drop down. When the right aileron moves down, more lift is created, causing the right wing to rise. This interaction causes the airplane to turn or roll to the left.
2006 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.
2006 Official AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code 5) Flying sites separated by three miles or more are considered safe from site-to site interference, even when both sites use the same frequencies. Any circumstances under three miles separation require a frequency management arrangement, which may be either an allocation of specific frequencies for each site or testing to determine that freedom from interference exists.
