It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked above. 3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace. 4- Check for the correct dihedral angle. 5- Mix approximately 30 minute epoxy and apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half. 6- Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line, marking sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly 7- Do the same way with the other wing half. 8- Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out.

Do not peel the backing paper off all at once. Peel off one corner of the backing and cut off with scissors. Arrange sticker on model and when satisfied adhere the corner without backing. Carefully peel back the rest of the backing while at the same time adhering the rest of the sticker. Try not to make air bubbles, if there are some, carefully puncture sticker (center of bubble) but not model surface with the tip of the knife or sharp pin and squeeze out the air. At curves stretch sticker and apply a little heat so that no ceases occur. Cut off the excess that is produced. 31- Balance (107 ~ 110mm) Note: Adjust the location of the battery pack to achieve this C.G location. DO NOT try to fly an out-of balance model! 32- Control surface 15/64”(6mm) 15/64”(6mm) 13/32” (10mm) ELEVATOR STROKE 13/32” (10mm) 1-23/64” (35mm) RUDDER STROKE AILERON STROKE 1-23/64” (35mm) 51/64”- 1-3/16” (20 - 30mm) FLAP STROKE Adjust the travel of the control surfaces to achieve the values stated in the diagrams. These value will be suitable for average flight requirements. Adjust the values to suit your particular needs. PRE-FLIGHT CHECKING AND ADJUSTING YOUR MODEL It is almost impossible to fly your model without checking and adjusting your model. You can stop easily if your car is not running strait. But you cannot stop your airplane after take off. Your plane could go right or left. Or even go up or down. Without understanding these instruction before flying the Ki-61, you might otherwise have difficulty in flying, or crash the plane. If you are new to Radio Control flying, you should not fly the Ki-61 but have an expert fly it. Even if you are experienced pilot, read this before your first flight. PRE-FLIGHT CHECK 1-Balance: There is very important relationship between the CG position and stall characteristic of an airplane or knife-edge performance. An aft CG will make the plane snap roll instead of making a clean stall. And your plane goes to down side at knife edge flying instead of strait. To measure the CG position, measure 4 ~ 4-1/8” (100 ~ 105mm) from leading edge ( a + / - 13/64” = 5mm is fine). 2-Check the operation and direction of the elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle: ELEVATOR RUDDER AILERON CAUTIONS FOR SAFETY Ensure the airfield is spacious enough. Ensure the spinner and propeller are securely attached. Immediately disure defective propeller as well as deformed spinners. Adjust the engine always from behind, but never from infront or the sides as rotating propeller may badly injure you. Do not allow watching people to get too close to a rotating propeller. Fully extend the transmitter and receiver antenna. Always take off and landing your airplane into the wind. Switch off the transmitter and receiver after landing. Do not fly your airplane above people standing around. BEFORE FLYING CHECK EVERYTHING Before each flight, inspect the airplane for any loose parts. Check the hinges, make sure the pushrods are still firmly attached, and check the engine mounting bolts. In general, check everything on the plane that might possibly come loose. CHECK THE FREQUENCE BEFORE FLYING DO NOT FLY NEAR A POWER LINE The power lines cause radio interference, so avoid flying near them. WARNING Do not put in a large-than recommended engine. A bigger engine does not necessarily mean better performance. ">
