Instruction manual

o)1. Use the photo and numbering system to
help position the colored trim. Use a long
straight edge or ruler to achieve straight edges
on the decals when you cut them out.
o)2. After the decals are applied, install the
nose cone. Cut the cone from the plastic sheet.
Then test fit the nose cone.
o)3. Install the nose cone with epoxy glue.
o)4. Find the exhaust cone. Trim the edges and
open the screw holes. Do not oversize the open-
ings.
o)5. Remove the motor screws and install the
cone with the motor screws. See Drawing on
Page 6.
o) 6. Install the canopy with the small screws
provided (in the same manner as the lower ra-
dio cover.)

o) 1. Find the propeller adapter.
o) 2. Install the adapter with the 3mm set screw
(you will need a 1.5mm hex wrench.) Leave 1/
8 inch space between the adapter and the plas-
tic cone.
o) 3. Install the propeller with the nut provided.
Propeller and Battery Installation
Note: For best results, you should balance the
propeller. We recommend a propeller normally
made for a "tractor" airplane (engine in front).
Make sure the front of the propeller faces for-
ward. (Looking at the motor from the rear of
the plane, the engine will turn clockwise.)
o) 4. Apply tape to the battery as shown. This
will make it easier to remove the battery.
o) 5. Remove the canopy. Install the battery
into the cockpit area.
o) 6. Access the battery plugs through the open-
ing on the fuselage bottom. Push the connectors
into the fuselage once connected.
o) 1. For proper flight, the Mirage must be bal-
anced. The balance point is 130mm to 150mm
back from the leading edge at the fuselage side.
o) 2. Move the battery or radio to achieve the
proper balance.

Balance Point
130 to 150mm behind the
wing’s leading edge at the
fusealge side.
130mm will create a more
stable jet at slow speeds
150mm will create a faster
jet but with a higher stall
speed.
