User manual GREAT PLANES DAZZLER 40 KIT

[. . . ] Guarantees this kit to be free from defects in both material and workmanship at the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover any component parts damaged by use or modification. In no case shall Great Planes' liability exceed the original cost of the purchased kit. Further, Great Planes reserves the right to change or modify this warranty without notice. [. . . ] Due to the close fit, the fuse must be kept perpendicular to the wing or it will bind. You will probably need to help each cap strip through the fuse so take your time and work carefully. Position a sheet of 3/32" x 4" wide balsa over the fuel tank compartment with an edge butted against the top sheeting at F2. Trace the outline on the bottom surface, then cut and sand the hatch to fit. Drill four 1/16" pilot holes through the top of the hatch into the hatch rail and firewall at the locations shown for the #2 x 3/8" sheet metal screws. Test fit the canopy backrest former into position. Use the Backrest Gauge to set the correct angle of the former. After checking to make sure the former is aligned to both sides of the cockpit floor, glue the backrest into position. Glue the gauge into position to help support the former and prevent it from getting accidentally knocked out of position. Distance from each wing tip to the tail post. Shift the wing until the measurements are equal. Mark the location of the throttle pushrod through the F2 former onto the leading edge of the wing. Slide the wing out of the fuse, far enough to drill the location marked, using a 3/16" drill bit. Return the wing to its previous location. When the wing alignment is correct, use medium CA to securely glue the circumference of the R1 ribs to the fuse. Once the wing is centered in the fuse, measure the 12 pin it in position. Measure from each stab tip to the center of the firewall to set the correct alignment. Draw a couple of reference marks on the stab and fuse sides once it is in position. Look at the rear of the model from several feet away. The stab must be parallel with the wing. If not, lightly sand the high side of the stab saddle to correct the problem. Once the stab is fully aligned, use 30-minute epoxy to glue the stab in position. [. . . ] If the control surfaces are not always acting correctly, do not fly!FLYING The Great Planes Dazzler is a great-flying sport airplane that flies smoothly and predictably, yet is highly maneuverable. It does not, however, have the self-recovery characteristics of a primary R/C trainer; therefore, you must either have mastered the basics of R/C flying or obtained the assistance of a competent R/C pilot to help you with your first flights. 19 Takeoff: If you have dual rates on your transmitter, set the switches to “high rate” for takeoff, especially when taking off in a crosswind.
