### Please read through the manual carefully before installation and flying

1 This model airplane is not a toy not recommended for children under 14 years old

., , 2. Be cautious and prepared while flying this plane as a range of issues could lead to a crash including the environment/weather, speed, pilot error, improper building/testing, interference or other component failures 3. Flying field: Choose an adequate flying space at least 100 meters long/wide and in an unpopulated and non-built up area for safe flying. This includes avoiding flying over cities or other populated areas. 4. Please don't fly this model airplane in bad weather including rainy and/or windy environments. 5.

4 Use hobby knife to elarge the tube slot 

# 2 Elevator control surface



# 3

Add glue to install the extension tube insert it into position

# 2 Join the two halves of fuselage If you have other wiring or modifications to add for the build run those through the fuselage and tail-boom before closing the fuselage *Note: Double check to ensure all parts are prepared and no parts are missing. MAKE SURE to plan where you need glue before you begin! Glue the left-half of fuselage, and other reinforcements parts that also need gluing where the fuse halves meet. Make sure ample glue is across all points to be connected. *Note: All gluing needs to be done at one time so make sure to move quickly once starting as glue will dry fast. Gluing should be completed in about 9 minutes.

Add a moderate amount of glue to the contact surface. Too much glue can cause erosion in the foam. * Fuselage installation

*: ' Note Glue don t flow to nut

Note please find out one wood washer size Φ15MM Thickness 3 0MM add a little glue install it to the bottom of the tail boom



### Join both halves of fuselage immediately after gluing, press firmly and use clamps or other tools like painters tape to secure it until glue has dried. Generally with air-drying indoors the glue will set after a 24 hour period.

# 3 Rudder servo and Servo horn Installation

Don t recommend over height ' - Big size and Heavy Camera *Note Wrap tape to secure the connectors as it can prevent the connectors from disconnecting when pulling the extension cables. Install the control horn with screws to secure the servo horn Reinforce rudder joint with pack tape *

### Install servo,

Push rod and clevis * () FUS009 Vertical stabilizer

Cockpit and Canopy Please find out the Camera mount wood base from Airplane package installed it as needed

This is the third generation canopy Adopted new material and it s much better than the Second generation canopy . '

. . , Some of Penguin owners preferred to install the servo on the H wing directly or at the back of the fuselages The Main purpose is to Another reason is to use as shorter pull rod as possible this is good to protect the Servo Gear Here Shown is the pilot modified his Airplane for your reference avoid cutting out a hole by the side of the fuselage

Another Penguin owners modified it like this for your reference
