M6x45mm INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY Using a modeling knife, carefully cut of the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the stopper. his will be the fuel pick up tube. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicone fuel line. Connect one end of the line to the weighted fuel pick up and the other end to the nylon pick up tube. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45º angle. his tube is the vent tube. 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. 1. 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. 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 over- tighten the assembly as this could cause the tank to split. FUEL TANK INSTALLATION 1. 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. 2. 19 3. 6. 5. 4. 7. MOUNTING THE ENGINE 1. 8. Please see below pictures. M5x100mm 2.

C/A glue INSTALLING THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER Using a ruler and a pen, locate the cen- terline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trailing edge, and place a mark. 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. 1. Using a modeling knife, carefully remove the covering at mounting slot of horizon- tal stabilizer ( both side of fuselage). 2. 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. 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. 3. 27 Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering from between them using a mod- eling knife. Trim and Cut 5. 4. Pen 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. Using a modeling knife, carefully remove the covering that overlaps the stabilizer mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Re- move the covering from both the top and the bottom of the platform sides. 6. 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 meas- urements 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.

If all the decals are not precut, please use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals from the sheet. Please be certain the model is clean and free from oily in- gerprints and dust. Position decal on the model where desired, using the photos on the box and aid in their location. APPLY THE DECALS BALANCING 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. With the wings 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. *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. 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. 3) When balancing your model, make sure it is assembled and ready for light. Support the plane upright at the marks made on the wing with your igers or a commercially available balancing stand. his is the correct balance point for your model. 2) he recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your model is (100mm) back from the leading edge at the center of the wing. 1) Attach the wing panels to the fuse- lage. Make sure to connect the leads from the aileron to the appropriate leads from the receiver. Make sure the leads are not exposed outside the fuselage before tight- ening the wing bolts. Your model should be light-ready before balancing. An important part of preparing the air- crat for light is properly balancing the model. 5. 100mm 43 Ailerons: High Rate : Up : 25mm Down : 25mm Low Rate : Up : 15mm Down : 15mm Elevator: High Rate : Up : 50mm Down : 50mm Low Rate : Up : 40mm Down : 40mm Rudder: High Rate : Right : 35mm Let : 35mm Low Rate : Right : 25mm Let : 25mm Flap: Mid : 30mm Full : 50 mm 40-50mm 15-25mm 25-35mm 25-35mm Wing Fuselage 15-25mm 40-50mm 30mm 50mm CONTROL THROWS Cessna L-19A Bird Dog “Old Dog, New Tricks” 35-40cc - 98” wingspan Instruction Manual. 44 FLIGHT PREPARATION 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 L-19A Bird Dog “Old Dog, New Tricks” 35-40cc - 98” wingspan 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 lightswith your Cessna L-19A Bird Dog “Old Dog, New Tricks” 35-40cc - 98” wingspan. 8) Properly balance the propeller. An out of balance propeller will cause exces- sive vibration which could lead to engine and/or airframe failure. 45 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.
