GREAT PLANES Firebat Manuel d'instruction

IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

Since the Firebat ARF is made mostly of foam, and
since CA adhesives commonly used to build R/C model
airplanes dissolve foam, CA should not be used when
gluing foam parts. Therefore, 6-minute epoxy, which is
compatible with foam, is used for most of the
construction. Unless otherwise specified in the
instructions, 6-minute epoxy is to be used for gluing all
parts of the model together.
For the strongest bond apply epoxy to both parts
being joined.
Before beginning construction, refer to the parts
drawings and use a ballpoint pen to write the part
number on all the wood parts.
During shipping some minor "scuffing" of the foam parts
may occur. This will not affect flight performance.

ASSEMBLY

Battery Charging

1. Now is a good time to charge the battery you will be
using. The Firebat Electric ARF builds very quickly so you
don't want do delay flying waiting for the battery to charge.
2. Make sure you have a fully run down battery before
charging.
3. Plug the battery charger into a standard 110 volt AC
wall outlet.
4. Connect the battery to the charger. Do not force the
plug; make sure that the plug is properly aligned.
5. Charge battery for 3-4 hours. A normal battery pack
will be warm when fully charged. WARNING: DO NOT
OVERCHARGE. IF THE BATTERY BECOMES HOT
DURING
CHARGING,
CHARGER IMMEDIATELY AND ALLOW IT TO COOL
BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE THE
BATTERY TO LEAK OR EXPLODE, RESULTING IN
POSSIBLE INJURY OR BODILY HARM. Recharging a hot
battery will also decrease performance and battery life.
Note: The charger has an output of 300 mA. To determine
the charge time for other batteries, divide the battery
capacity by the charger output to get the charge time (i.e.,
1200 mAh divided by 300 mA = 4 hours). The Firebat Electric
ARF is so much fun to fly you should also consider obtaining
an additional battery or two and a field charger. Allow at
least 20 minutes of cooling time for the motor and battery
between flights.

Assemble the Fuselage

1. If you are using standard sized servos, position them
in the two recesses in the left fuselage side as shown in the
above photo. Be sure that the servo leads are in the pre-
molded channels. The receiver will be installed behind the
servos later.
2. If you are using two mini or micro sized aileron servos
THE
and a mini/micro receiver, position one of the servos in the
rear recess in the left fuselage side as shown in the above
photo A. Mark the location of the servo on the fuselage with
a fine-point felt-tip marker. Trim the fuselage side so the
servo will be recessed flush with the inside edge of the
fuselage side. Do the same for the right fuselage side. Be
sure that the servo leads are in the pre-molded channels.
Test fit the fuselage sides together to check the servo fit but
do not glue the sides at this time. The mini/micro receiver
will be installed in front of the servos later.
Note: When the sides are glued together the servos will be
installed side by side.
