This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read thismanual thoroughly before starting assembly of your HAWKER HURICANE . Use the parts listingbelow to identify all parts.

WARNING.

Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly itis capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOUASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY. If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/Csupplier and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of trainingprocedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be ableto advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

TOOLS & SUPPLIES NEEDED.

Thick cyanoacrylate glue.30 minute epoxy.5 minute epoxy.Hand or electric drill.Assorted drill bits.Modelling knife.Straight edge ruler.2mm ball driver.Phillips head screwdriver.220 grit sandpaper.90° square or builder’s triangle.Wire cutters.Masking tape & T-pins.Thread-lock.Paper towels.

COWLING.Landing gear.....

To avoid scratching your new airplane, donot unwrap the pieces until they are neededfor assembly. Cover your workbench with anold towel or brown paper, both to protect theaircraft and to protect the table. Keep a cou-ple of jars or bowls handy to hold the smallparts after you open the bag.

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure youhave the correct parts and that they fit and arealigned properly before gluing! This will assureproper assembly. HAWKER HURICANE ARF ishand made from natural materials, every planeis unique and minor adjustments may have tobe made. However, you should find the fit su-perior and assembly simple.The painted and plastic parts used in this kitare fuel proof. However, they are not tolerantof many harsh chemicals including the follow-ing: paint thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A gluedebonder and acetone. Do not let these chemi-cals come in contact with the colors on thecovering and the plastic parts.

HAWKER HURRICANE - Item code: BH108 . Instruction ManualCaution: this model is not a toy!If you are a beginner to this type of poweredmodel, please ask an experienced model flyerfor help and support. If you attempt to operatethe model without knowing what you are doingyou could easily injure yourself or somebodyelse. Please keep your safety and well-beingin mind at all times.Important: before you start constructionEven if you have already built a large numberof RC models please read right through theseinstructions and check all the kit componentsagainst the parts list. We have taken greattrouble to keep construction as simple aspossible, without making any compromisesin the area of safety.Note regarding the film coveringMinor creases or bubbles may develop in thefilm covering due to major fluctuations inweather conditions (temperature, humidityetc.); in rare cases you may even find a slightwarp in a component. These minor faults arein the nature of film-covered built-up woodenstructures, and can easily be corrected usinga heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.Creases: Blow warm air over the area

and rub down with a softcloth.

When self-tapping screws have to bescrewed into wood, apply a little whiteglue to prevent them shaking loose: justsquirt white glue into the hole and fit thescrew.

+ This is not a toy + Be sure that no other flyers are using yourradio frequency. + Do not smoke near fuel + Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away fromchildren and pets. + Wear safety glasses. +The glow plug clip must be securely at-tached to the glow plug. + Do not flip the propeller with your fingers. + Keep loose clothing and wires away fromthe propeller. + Do not start the engine if people are near.Do not stand in line with the side of the pro-peller. + Make engine adjustments from behind thepropeller only. Do not reach around the spin-ning propeller.

SAFETY PRECAUTION.

Wing warp: Hold the panel twistedgently in the oppositedirection to the warp, andapply warm air to removethe creases from thecovering.

Caution! do not heat the film more than isabsolutely necessary. If the air or the iron istoo hot, the film may melt and holes may beformed.This model is highly pre-fabricated and canbe built in a very short time. However, the workwhich you have to carry out is important andmust be done carefully. The model will onlybe strong and fly well if you complete yourtasks competently - so please work slowlyand accurately.

6) When satisfied with the alignment ofthe stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mmmachine screw until the rubber stopper ex-pands and seals the tank opening. Do not overtighten the assembly as this could cause thetank to split.

7) Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths offuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube inthe stopper.

8) Feed three lines through the fuel tankcompartment and through the pre-drilled holein the firewall. Pull the lines out from behindthe engine, while guiding the fuel tank intoplace. Push the fuel tank as far forward aspossible, the front of the tank should just abouttouch the back of the firewall.

Blow through one of the lines to ensurethe fuel lines have not become kinked insidethe fuel tank compartment. Air should flowthrough easily.

9) To secure the fuel tank in place, apply abead of silicon sealer to the forward area ofthe tank, where it exits the fuselage behind theengine mounting box and to the rear of the tankat the forward bulkhead.

Do not secure the tank into place perma-nently until after balancing the airplane. Youmay need to remove the tank to mount thebattery in the fuel tank compartment

2. While keeping the back edge of thecowl flush with the marks, align the front ofthe cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. Thefront of the cowl should be positioned so thecrankshaft is in nearly the middle of the cowlopening. Hold the cowl firmly in place usingpieces of masking tape.

4. Install the muffler and muffler extensiononto the engine and make the cutout in thecowl for muffler clearance. Connect the fueland pressure lines to the carburetor, mufflerand fuel filler valve.

Accurately mark the balance point on the topof the wing on both sides of the fuselage. Thebalance point is located 118mm back from theleading edge. This is the balance point at whichyour model should balance for your first flights.Later, you may wish to experiment by shiftingthe balance up to 10mm forward or back tochange the flying characteristics. Moving thebalance forward may improve the smooth-ness and arrow- like tracking, but it may thenrequire more speed for take off and make itmore difficult to slow down for landing. Movingthe balance aft makes the model more agilewith a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case,please start at the location we recommend .

With the wing attached to the fuselage, allparts of the model installed ( ready to fly), andempty fuel tanks, hold the model at themarked balance point with the stabilizer level.

Lift the model. If the tail drops when youlift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must addweigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it is “noseheavy” and you must add weight* to the tail tobalance.*If possible, first attempt to balance the modelby changing the position of the receiver bat-tery and receiver. If you are unable to obtaingood balance by doing so, then it will be nec-essary to add weight to the nose or tail toachieve the proper balance point.

3. Turn the airplane upside down. Placeyour fingers on the masking tape and care-fully lift the plane .

1) It is critical that your airplane be bal-anced correctly. Improper balance will causeyour plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED118MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGEOF THE WING.

2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using acouple of pieces of masking tape, place themon the top side of the wing 118mm back fromthe leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

BALANCING. 1) We highly recommend setting up aplane using the control throws listed.

2) The control throws should be meas-ured at the widest point of each control sur-face.

3) Check to be sure the control surfacesmove in the correct directions.

Flap : 30mm down. Ailerons : 15mm up 15mm down. Elevator : 20mm up 20mm down. Rudder : 30mm right 30mm left.

1) Completely charge your transmitter andreceiver batteries before your first day of fly-ing.

2) Check every bolt and every glue joint inyour plane to ensure that everything is tightand well bonded.

3) Double check the balance of theairplane.

4) Check the control surface.

5) Check the receiver antenna . It shouldbe fully extended and not coiled up inside thefuselage.

6) Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many safe and enjoyableflights with your HAWKER HURRICANE
