General Guidelines and Safety Precautions

It is important that you read and follow this instruction manual, along with the radio system manual before you run this exciting boat. Failure to read and understand the manual could result in personal injury, property damage or permanent damage to your boat. It is also important to run your boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be able to proudly enjoy your Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer for many years to come.

When operating the boat, stay clear of people, full-scale boats, stationary objects and wildlife. It is preferable to operate the

Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer in low wake, low wind conditions and in areas free of people, wildlife and objects.

Check all of the hardware, and the propeller for damage and loose screws before and after each run.

If at any time while operating your model you sense any abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not operate your boat again until you are certain the problem has been corrected. Always stay clear of the propeller.

This is a sophisticated hobby Product and not a toy. It must be operated with caution and common sense and requires some basic mechanical ability. Failure to operate this

Product in a safe and responsible manner could result in injury or damage to the

Product or other property. This Product is not intended for use by children without direct adult supervision. The Product manual contains instructions for safety, operation and maintenance. It is essential to read and follow all the instructions and warnings in the manual, prior to assembly, setup or use, in order to operate correctly and avoid damage or injury.

Unpacking Your Model

Your model must be removed carefully from the packaging to avoid damage. Follow the steps shown to remove your model.

Required Tools

Hobby knife or similar

Side cutter

 1. Use a knife to cut the tape that secured the two center foam supports to the inner box.

 2. Carefully lift the foam support toward the front of the boat. Lift the support straight up and out of the box.

 3. The rear support has a small piece of foam that keeps the larger section secure.

Remove the small piece of foam.

4

 4. Carefully lift the rear foam support. Lift the support straight up and out of the box.

 5. Use side cutters to trim the wire ties at the rear of the hull. Lift the front of the hull upward slightly, then lift the hull from the box.

 7. Carefully lift the main tower and its packaging from the box.

 6. Use a knife to cut the tape that secures the packing foam for the main tower to the box.

 8. Use side cutters to cut the three ties that secure the main tower to the packaging. Make sure to support the tower while cutting the ties so it doesn't fall and become damaged.

5

 9. Remove the ties from the main tower.

 12. Use side cutters to cut the ties that secure the secondary tower and accessories to the packaging. Make sure to support the tower so it doesn't drop and become damaged once the ties have been cut.

Basic Assembly

The following steps will prepare your model for operation. Although there are a lot of details that can be installed, they are not necessary to operate you model.

Required Tools and Adhesives

Hobby knife or similar

Side cutter

Medium CA

Required Equipment and Accessories

Transmitter and receiver

Motor battery (charged)

Ballast weight (5 lb or 2.2 kg)

Hook and loop tape

 1. Locate the pieces for the boat stand.

The longer side pieces will key to the shorter end pieces. Use a small amount of

Medium CA to glue the pieces together.

 2. Plug the lead from the speed control into the throttle port of the receiver.

The lead from the rudder servo will plug into the steering port of the receiver. Be sure to connect the plugs in the proper polarity. See the radio instruction manual for details.

 3. Use hook and loop tape to attach the receiver to the steering servo mounting plate inside the hull. Route the antenna wires inside the hull according to the radio manufacturer's suggestions.

Note: If you are using a 2.4GHz system, it is recommended to bind the receiver to the transmitter at this time. Follow the instructions provided with your radio system for this procedure.

Note: Make sure to center the trims for both the steering and throttle on your transmitter.

 4. Place the ballast weight in the ballast compartment in the hull. We used $8.50 in pennies in our model, but a lead weight can also be used.

7

 5. Place the motor battery in the hull.

The supports are cut to fit a 6-cell battery snug in the hull.

 7. Check the operation of the rudders in relationship to the steering wheel. When the wheel is rotated clockwise, the rudders must move right as shown. If not, follow the instructions from the radio to set the servo reversing for the steering.

 6. Move the switch on the transmitter to the ON position. Connect the battery to the lead from the speed control.

8

 7. Check the operation of the propellers in relationship to the throttle trigger.

When the trigger is pulled in, the right propeller must rotate clockwise and the left propeller will rotate counterclockwise as shown. If not, follow the instructions from the radio to set the servo reversing for the throttle.

 8. Once the radio is installed and operating properly, the main tower, secondary tower and helicopter covers can be placed in their respective positions on the hull.

9

Accessory Installation

The installation of the accessories is not mandatory, but will add some incredibly scale appeal to your model. There are a lot of items to install, so take your time and take frequent breaks to avoid frustration when working with all the small parts.

Attaching an accessory to the hull simply requires placing a small drop of medium CA on the part, then placing it in the correct location on the hull after removing the locating sticker. The following will help guide where each accessory is located in alphabetical order. Use this section of the manual, as well as the photos on the box, to install the accessories.
