Electric or I/C Velocity This, the latest in the Weston UK range of hyper performance ARTF kits, has been developed over a period of years to provide the ultimate flight performance.

Before installing the servos we recommend you bead 5 min epoxy on either side of the servo tray to ensure security and to aid the fixture of the throttle servo. Servo installation Please cut the outer snakes so they just pass the frames. If you do not do this it will restrict full travel of the control surface. Install the servos in the tray as shown ( servo arms must be forward most on the elevons). We recommend high torque digital servos and for even more safety metal geared.
PAGE 3
Tank installation I/C INSTALLATION Install the tank into the bay and pack with foam. Engine installation Please install the engine mount with the supplied bolts and washers using thread lock. Once secure install your chosen engine (we recommend the West 52V1) Using the deep core self tapping screws secure in place. We recommend a small amount of thick cyano on the thread of the self tappers to lock in place. Ensure that the motor clears the cowling ring when in place.
PAGE 4
BATTERY MOUNTING The battery is mounted on the balsa sheeting behind the receiver tray at the rear of the fuselage using double sided servo tape or foam to pack in place. The battery should sit between the two snakes ensuring it does not push against the outer tubes to cause binding. We recommend a 6v 2/3 GP pack which is available from Weston UK. SWITCH Mount the switch in the side of the fuselage on the opposite side of the engine exhaust in front of the servo tray area.
PAGE 5
Using a silicone joiner which is available from Weston UK join the tuned pipe to the manifold. Mark the position of the tuned pipe on the mounting plate at the rear giving yourself enough room to insert the bolt for the canopy. When happy bolt the airframe clamp available from Weston UK to the fuselage and tie-wrap the tuned pipe to the clamp. We recommend you use two tie-wraps as per the picture to stop the pipe coming off due to vibration and high speed gas flow.
PAGE 6
Install the esc tray with epoxy in tank bay ensuring the tray is at the correct angle as to not prohibit the canopy fitment. Install the battery tray with epoxy as per the picture. We recommend installing the velcro straps before the tray is installed. Install ESC to tray and secure in place with a tie-wrap Cut the covering away from the cooling holes and cut a small piece of covering away from around the hole to ensure good surface contact and bonding.
PAGE 7
With a sanding drum cut hole as per picture in back of canopy to allow air flow out of the airframe. Note :- cooling for electric is imperative and you must follow the instructions explicitly. When flying this kind of electric set up you cannot run for long durations as you will burn out your set up. 10-20 second blasts is what we recommend with some gliding in between to allow set up to cool. SAFETY NOTE : When first setting up your motor and esc please ensure the prop is NOT on the motor.
PAGE 8
TAILFIN Place tailfin in the slot. Using a knife carefully mark around the fin where the fuselage meets the fin. Remove the fin from the slot and carefully cut away the covering ensuring that no balsa is cut. Insert the fin into the slot and using some thin cyano or slow cyano or epoxy carefully glue the fin into the slot. LANDING SKID (we don't recommend fitting it) Place the skid into position so that the back of the skid is flush with the rear of the fuselage.
