• Four high quality metal gear servos of 150
in-oz or better for the ailerons and elevators
• One high quality metal gear servo of 250 in-
oz or better for rudder servo.
• Appropriate servo arms for the above
• Heavy duty servo wire extensions. EG
recommends two to three 30" (elevators,
optional tail mounted rudder), two 12"
(ailerons), and three 6" extensions (throttle
and rx extensions). Your installation though
may vary.
N ote:
As with all kits, it's a good idea to read all the instructions and study the parts

before you begin construction. Handle the parts of this kit with care so you do not
damage any of the structure or covering. Inspect all the parts for any shipping
damage and report any issues to EG as soon as you can. Make sure you have a flat
and sturdy workbench and follow all safety advice for the tools and adhesives you
plan to use.
A IRCRAFT COVERING:
U U
1. With all ARFs, varying temperatures and storage delays can cause covering material to loosen over
time and transportation. EG recommends lightly going over all the covering with a covering iron set
at medium temperatures. Be sure to use a soft cover over your iron so you do not scratch the covering
surface. Be sure you go over all seams and edges of the covering to assure it is secure to the airframe
and other covering. Be careful not to apply too much heat or you may cause bubbles or damage to the
covering. A heat gun may also be used along with a soft cotton cloth to shrink and adhere the
covering. Again, be extremely careful when using a heat gun.
2. If you plan to install a heavier than typical engine you may opt to use the rear fuselage mount for the
rudder servo. If so then carefully cut the covering away from the rear servo mount on either side. If
not leave these intact. Servo openings should be cut from corner to corner and the covering ironed
down on the inside. Other holes can be cut out using either a sharp hobby knife or the tip of a hot
soldering iron. The latter technique acts to seal the covering edges as you cut away.
3. Be sure to seal any exposed wood with a thin coating of epoxy to prevent engine oil from soaking
in. This is especially important around the engine compartment and servo openings with exposed
areas.
4. Some modelers prefer to seal the hinge gaps using strips of appropriate covering or clear trim tape.
We have found this to be helpful with models intended for higher speed flight or models with
unusually large hinge gaps. EG aircraft utilize a very tight double beveled hinge line and do not
normally require this step. Sealing the hinge gaps is therefore left as an option for the modeler.
R UDDER INSTALLATION:
U U
1. It is much easier to install the twin control horns before installing the rudder. Locate the fiberglass
rudder control horns, ball links, and associated bolts and nylon-insert lock nuts. Use some fine sandpaper
to roughen up the center areas of the two control horns so that the glue adheres better. Using a sharp
hobby knife cut the covering away from the slots in the rudder and trial fit the two control horns.
