PT-17 Stearman Assembly Instructions

PT-17 Stearman is a model plane that requires assembly. Below
are the instructions for assembling the model.

Important notification

• The model is supplied with UFO and 502 glue. UFO is for bonding
  foam parts, and 502 for bonding wood, carbon fiber and metal parts.
  502 glue will cause serious corrosion to foam parts.
• Please wait for the glue to dry and solidify in each
  installation step before the next installation.
• Please avoid using flame to heat the heat shrinkable tube on
  the model. Electric iron shall be used for heating.
• Please use razor blade to remove the parts from the plate. Do
  not tear the parts by force.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Fuselage internals.
2. Bond the plywood structure with CA glue. Fix the landing gear
   steel wire with m1x3 screws.
3. Bond the plywood structure with CA glue.
4. Details: landing gear base.
5. Connect the servos to a powered receiver. Bind the receiver
   with your transmitter to make the servos arms return to their
   neutral point. Test whether the servos are working correctly, and
   install the servo arms according to the position shown in the
   picture. Note: Please make sure that the servos have been tested
   and installed in strict accordance with the following picture.
   After assembling the model, it will be not able to adjust.
6. (bottom view) The three servos are installed and fixed under
   the plywood board.
7. Connect the receiver to the motor, install the propeller and
   test whether the rotation direction of the motor is correct. Test
   whether the corresponding relationship between the three servos and
   the transmitter channel is correct. After the test, fix the
   receiver with Velcro and tie the cables.
8. Install magnet base & magnet.
9. Fuselage parts.
10. Align the scribed line on the inner side of the fuselage and
    fix the wooden structure with glue.
11. Combine upper wing support base parts.
12. Install upper wing support base parts.
13. Note: the position shown in the picture is the battery cover
    plate that can be opened. No glue shall be applied to the area
    marked by the yellow line.
14. Fix the top and bottom strip of the fuselage with glue.

24. Use the end of a screw driver to score through the aileron
    half-cut line of the horizontal tail.
25. Use the end of a screw driver to score through the aileron
    half-cut line of the vertical tail.
26. Install the tails.
27. Use the end of a screw driver to score through the half-cut
    line of the lower wing surface.
28. Use the end of a screw driver to score through the aileron
    half-cut line of the aileron.
29. Use the end of a screw driver to score through the half-cut
    line of the upper wing surface.
30. Install the lower wing.
31. Install the side wing supports.
32. Install the upper wing.
33. Install aileron control horns.
