Connect one end of the line to the weighted fuel pick up and the other end to the nylon pick up tube. 3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45º angle. his tube is the vent tube. Vent tube. Fuel pick up tube. Fuel fill tube. 17 4) Test it the stopper assembly into the tank. It may be necessary to remove some of the lashing around the tank opening using a modeling knife. If lashing is present, make sure none falls into the tank. 6) When satisied with the alignment of the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm ma- chine screw until the rubber stopper expands and seals the tank opening. Do not overtight- en the assembly as this could cause the tank to split. FUEL TANK INSTALLATION. You should mark which tube is the vent and which is the fuel pickup when you attach fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once the tank is installed inside the fuselage, it may be diicult to determine which is which. 7) Use balsa block to hold in place the fuel tank with C/A glue to secure the fuel tank. 5) With the stopper assembly in place, the weighted pick-up should rest away from the rear of the tank and move freely inside the tank. he top of the vent tube should rest just below the top of the tank. It should not touch the top of the tank. Balsa block - front M3x15 CESSNA 188 AGWAGON Instruction Manual. 18 MOUNTING THE ENGINE.

Use a tri- angle and extend this mark, from back to front, across the top of the stabilizer. Also extend this mark down the back of the trailing edge of the stabilizer. Draw center line 2) Using a modeling knife, carefully re- move the covering at mounting slot of horizontal stabilizer ( both side of fuse- lage). 3) Slide the stabilizer into place in the precut slot in the rear of the fuselage. he stabilizer should be pushed irmly against the front of the slot. Cut. 4) With the stabilizer held irmly in place, use a pen and draw lines onto the stabilizer where it and the fuselage sides meet. Do this on both the right and let sides and top and bottom of the stabilizer. Pen. 5) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering from between them using a modeling knife. When cutting through the covering to remove it, cut with only enough pressure to only cut through the covering itself. Cutting into the balsa structure may weaken it. 6) Using a modeling knife, carefully re- move the covering that overlaps the stabiliz- er mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Remove the covering from both the top and the bottom of the platform sides. Trim and Cut 27 7) When you are sure that everything is aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the top and bottom of the stabilizer mounting area and to the stabilizer mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in place and realign. Double check all of your measurements once more before the epoxy cures. Hold the stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape and remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Position decal on the model where desired, using the pho- tos on the box and aid in their location. 1) If all the decals are precut and ready to stick. Please be certain the model is clean and free from oily ingerprints and dust. Position decal on the model where de- sired, using the photos on the box and aid in their location. APPLY THE DECALS. BALANCING. 1) It is critical that your airplane be balanced correctly. Improper balance will cause your plane to lose control and crash. THE CENTER OF GRAV- ITY IS LOCATED 100MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING AT THE WING ROOT. 2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Place a piece of masking tape on the top of each wing 100mm back from the leading edge at the wing root. 3) With the model inverted, place your ingers on the masking tape and carefully lit the plane. his is the point at which your model should balance for your irst lights. Later, you may wish to experiment by shiting the balance up to 10mm forward or back to change the lying char- acteristics. Moving the balance forward may improve the smoothness and ar- row- like tracking, but it may then require more speed for take of and make it more diicult to slow down for landing. Moving the balance at makes the model more agile with a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case, please start at the loca- tion we recommend. With the wing attached to the fuselage, all parts of the model installed ( ready to ly), and empty fuel tanks, hold the mod- el at the marked balance point with the stabilizer level. Lit the model. If the tail drops when you lit, the model is “tail heavy” and you must add weight* to the nose. If the nose drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must add weight* to the tail to balance. *If possible, irst attempt to balance the model by changing the position of the receiver battery and receiver. If you are unable to obtain good balance by doing so, then it will be necessary to add weight to the nose or tail to achieve the proper balance point. CONTROL THROWS.

PREFLIGHT CHECK. Check the operation and direction of the elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle. A) Plug in your radio system per the manufacturer’s instructions and turn eve- rything on. B) Check the elevator irst. Pull back on the elevator stick. he elevator halves should move up. If it they do not, lip the servo reversing switch on your transmit- ter to change the direction. C) Check the rudder. Looking from be- hind the airplane, move the rudder stick to the right. he rudder should move to the right. If it does not, lip the servo reversing switch on your transmitter to change the direction. D) Check the throttle. Moving the throttle stick forward should open the carburetor barrel. If it does not, lip the servo reversing switch on your transmit- ter to change the direction. E) From behind the airplane, look at the aileron on the right wing half. Move the aileron stick to the right. he right ailer- on should move up and the other aileron should move down. If it does not, lip the servo reversing switch on your transmit- ter to change the direction. 1) Completely charge your transmit- ter and receiver batteries before your irst day of lying. 2) Check every bolt and every glue joint in the CESSNA 188 AGWAGON to ensure that everything is tight and well bonded. 3) Double check the balance of the air- plane. Do this with the fuel tank empty. 4) Check the control surfaces. All should move in the correct direction and not bind in any way. 5) If your radio transmitter is equipped with dual rate switches double check that they are on the low rate setting for your irst few lights. 6) Check to ensure the control sur- faces are moving the proper amount for both low and high rate settings. 7) Check the receiver antenna. It should be fully extended and not coiled up in- side the fuselage. We wish you many safe and enjoyable lights with your CESSNA 188 AGWAGON. 8) Properly balance the propeller. An out of balance propeller will cause exces- sive vibration which could lead to engine and/or airframe failure. 12-15mm 15-20mm 15-20mm 12-15mm CESSNA 188 AGWAGON Instruction Manual. 40 If you have any queries, or are interested in our products, please feel free to contact us Factory : 12/101A - Hamlet 4 - Le Van Khuong Street - Dong hanh Ward - Hoc Mon District - Ho Chi Minh City - Viet Nam.
