MESSERSCHMITT BF-109E - Item code:BH109 . Instruction Manual Caution:

this model is not a toy!

If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an experienced model flyer for help and support. If you attempt to operate the model without knowing what you are doing you could easily injure yourself or somebody else. Please keep your safety and well-being in mind at all times.

Important: before you start construction

Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right through these instructions and check all the kit components against the parts list. We have taken great trouble to keep construction as simple as possible, without making any compromises in the area of safety.

Note regarding the film covering

Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations in weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a slight warp in a component. These minor faults are in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden structures, and can easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.

Creases: Wing warp: Blow warm air over the area and rub down with a soft cloth.

Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp, and apply warm air to remove the creases from the covering.

Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron is too hot, the film may melt and holes may be formed.

This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the work which you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model will only be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks competently - so please work slowly and accurately.

When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little white glue to prevent them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into the hole and fit the screw.

SAFETY PRECAUTION.

+ This is not a toy + Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio frequency.

+ Do not smoke near fuel + Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets.

+ Wear safety glasses.

+The glow plug clip must be securely attached to the glow plug.

+ Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

+ Keep loose clothing and wires away from the propeller.

+ Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not stand in line with the side of the propeller.

+ Make engine adjustments from behind the propeller only. Do not reach around the spinning propeller.

FUEL TANK.

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY

 1) The stopper has been pre-assembled at the factory.

 2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line is calculated by how the weighted clunk should rest about 8mm away from the rear of the tank and move freely inside the tank). Connect one end of the line to the weighted clunk and the other end to the nylon pick up tube in the stop per.

 3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.

 4) Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter).

This tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve.

When the stopper assembly is installed in the tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just below the top surface of the tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.

BALANCING.

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

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

135 MM

BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING.

  2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side of the wing

135mm

back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.

  3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers on the masking tape and care fully lift the plane .


Accurately mark the balance point on the top of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. The balance point is located tion we recommend .

135mm

back from the leading edge. This is the balance point at which your model should balance for your first flights. Later, you may wish to experiment by shifting the balance up to 10mm forward or back to change the flying characteristics.

Moving the balance forward may improve the smoothness and arrow- like tracking, but it may then require more speed for take off and make it more difficult to slow down for landing. Moving the balance aft makes the model more agile with a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case, please start at the loca  With the wing attached to the fuselage, all parts of the model installed ( ready to fly), and empty fuel tanks, hold the model at the marked balance point with the stabilizer level.

 Lift the model. If the tail drops when you lift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must add weigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must add weight* to the tail to balance.

*If possible, first attempt to balance the model by changing the position of the receiver bat tery and receiver. If you are unable to obtain good balance by doing so, then it will be nec essary to add weight to the nose or tail to achieve the proper balance point.

CONTROL THROWS.

  1) We highly recommend setting up a plane 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 surfaces move in the correct directions.

MESSERSCHMITT BF-109E - Item code:BH109 . Instruction Manual PRE-FLIGHT CHECK.

  1) Completely charge your transmitter and receiver batteries before your first day of fly ing.

  2) Check every bolt and every glue joint in your plane to ensure that everything is tight and well bonded.

  3) Double check the balance of the airplane.

  4) Check the control surface.

  5) Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

  6) Properly balance the propeller.
