Warning!
Important Safety Precautions
First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced flyer is absolutely necessary.
Pre - flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly adjusted aircraft.
pre -
P-47D THUNDERBOLT is specially designed to be powered by 1.20 4-stroke glow engine, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over powered engine may cause severe damage and injuries.
Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get too close to a running propeller.
If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot iron to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and gradually raise the temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may damage the covering.
Don,t use hot iron near the seams or edges, hot iron will melt the glue and shrink the covering at the same time, causing the seams to pull away.
Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.
A213PO25911108 P.13
When Flaps are lowered, nose of model will rise. The nose-up varies with the speed at which the model is flying when you lower the flaps and the extent to which they are lowered. Check effect of flaps at higher altitude to avoid surprises during landing. You may apply down trim of the elevator to compensate for the nose-up effect when lowering the flaps. Taking off with flaps lowered is not recommended, as the increased drag may require a longer runway and more engine power for the model.
Should you require to bend the landing gear wire, please insert a round metal bar into the spring ring and apply force there as leverage. Bending the wire directly may damage the mounting block structure.
Round metal bar
Landing Gear
Should you need to bend the landing gear wire, use the radio control to open or close the gear to 25% from fully retracted position and switch off the receiver. It is safe to bend the wire in this position. Bending the wire in fully open position may damage the supporting structure.
A213PO25911108
LINKAGE CONNECTOR
HW7111050 & HW7111060
Drill 2mm hole at servo horn.
Insert linkage connector into servo horn.
Make sure shoulder of screw is cleared from servo horn.
Add washer to reduce play if necessary.
Shoulder
Tighten up the round nut against the shoulder. Apply
CA or permanent thread locker.
After fastening the round nut, make sure that the linkage connector can rotate freely.
