Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue. 7.

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, • The stabilizer and wing incidences and engine thrust angles have been factory-built into this model. However, some technically-minded modelers may wish to check these measurements anyway. To view this information visit the web site at www.towerhobbies.com and click on “Technical Data.” Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no effect on the way your model will fly, please expect slight deviations between your model and the published values.

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, ASSEMBLY PREPARATION ❍ 1. Use a covering iron set on medium heat (about 250°F [120°C]) with a protective covering sock to remove any wrinkles in the covering and make sure the covering is bonded to the wood structure underneath. ❍ 2. Use a hobby knife with a sharp #11 blade to cut the covering from the fuselage over the openings for the wing, tail surfaces and for the pushrod tubes on both sides of the fuselage. Remove the small balsa block. Suggestion: Keep the larger pieces of covering cut out from the wing opening in case patches are ever required in the future. JOIN THE WING TO THE FUSELAGE ❍

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, ❍ 5. Before removing the wing, use a short piece of wire or something similar to mark the location of the hole in the former for the throttle pushrod guide tube onto the leading edge of the wing. Remove the wing from the fuselage and drill a 1/8" [3.2mm] hole through the wing at the mark. ❍ 6. Use a single-edge razor blade, a sharp, new #11 blade or follow the Expert Tip below to cut the covering from the wing along the lines. Use care to cut only into the covering and not into the wood. Cutting into the balsa will weaken the structure. ❍ 7. Lay two or three paper towels on top of each other. Cut them into s

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, ❍ 2. Drill a 1/8" [3.2mm] hole in both elevators for the joiner wire. ❍ 3. Use a 1/8" [3.2mm] brass tube sharpened on the end as shown in the following Expert Tip or a hobby knife to cut out the elevators to accommodate the joiner wire. ❍ 4. Test fit the joiner wire into the elevators. Lay the assembly on your flat workbench. See if the elevators are parallel with each other. If necessary, remove the joiner wire and use pliers to bend the wire as necessary until you can get the elevators to lie flat. Set the elevators and the joiner wire aside. ❍ 5. Cut the covering from the top and bottom of the stab over the slot. 2. Sharpen the inside of th

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, ❍ 6. Slide the stab into the fuselage, then key it into position with the vertical stabilizer (from now on referred to as the “fin”). ❍ 7. Stand behind the model and view the alignment of the stab and wing. The stab should be parallel with the wing. If the stab is not parallel with the wing, place a small weight on the “high side” of the stab to get it into alignment. If a little bit of weight isn’t enough, remove the fin and stab from the fuselage and carefully sand the saddle as necessary to get the stab into alignment with the wing. ❍ 8. Once you have achieved stab alignment, use the pin- and-string te

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, GLUE IN THE HINGES Start with the left aileron. ❍❍ 1. Stick a T-pin through the middle of four CA hinges. Insert the hinges into the left aileron. The T-pins will keep the hinges centered. If any of the hinges are too tight or don’t go in all the way, remove the hinge and use a #11 blade to widen and/or deepen the slots. The hinges should fit snug, but not with so much resistance that they are difficult to insert. ❍❍ 2. Join the aileron to the wing with the hinges. Take out the T-pins. Adjust the aileron so there is a small gap–just enough to see light through or to slip a piece of paper through. Carefully add

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, ❍ 11. Cut a half-round notch in the rudder to accommodate the elevator joiner wire. Lightly coat the notch with epoxy to fuelproof the bare wood. ❍ 12. Apply a dab of petroleum jelly or a small drop of oil to both ends of the bearing to keep glue from adhering. Use a thin, metal ruler or something similar to thoroughly work epoxy into the slot in the fuselage. Coat the hinge of the bearing with epoxy, then fit the bearing into the fuselage and wipe away excess epoxy. ❍ 13. Apply 30-minute epoxy to the arm and in the hole in the rudder, then join the rudder to the fin with the hinges. Use thin CA to glue in the hinges. MOUNT THE ENGINE ❍

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, INSTALL THE PUSHRODS ❍ 1. Use coarse or medium-grit sandpaper to roughen the outside of the plastic throttle pushrod guide tube so glue will adhere. Guide the tube through the firewall into the radio compartment. Connect the throttle pushrod wire to the carburetor arm on the engine (this will require removal of the carb arm), then guide the pushrod wire through the tube. ❍ 2. Thread a clevis about twenty full turns onto a 24" [610mm] wire pushrod. Slip a silicone retainer over the clevis. Cut the mounting plate from a control horn, then connect the clevis to the second-from-the-outer hole of the horn. Make another assembly the same way. ❍ 3. Slide

• add a few drops of thin CA to the screw holes, allow the CA to harden, then remount the servos. This will harden the screw holes so the screws will have a better “bite.” ❍ 5. Use a Hobbico Servo Horn Drill (HCAR0698) or a 5/64" [2mm] drill to enlarge the holes in one of the servo arms you will be using for the aileron servo. Connect the aileron to the aileron servo using the ha

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, temporarily hold the template down. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the bottom of the fuselage at the marks for the landing gear strap screws. Remove the template. ❍ 4. Mount the landing gear with the nylon straps and eight 2 x 8mm wood screws. Remove the screws, harden the holes with a few drops of thin CA, allow to harden, then remount the gear. INSTALL THE FUEL TANK ❍ 1. Assemble the stopper assembly as shown in the photo. The fuel pickup tube should be 2-5/8" [67mm] long. Bend the vent t

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, FINISH RADIO INSTALLATION ❍ 1. Neatly wrap the receiver and battery pack in 1/4" [6mm] R/C foam rubber. Secure the foam with rubber bands or tape. It’s also a good idea to secure the connection between the switch and the battery pack with heat shrink tubing, tape or clips intended for that purpose. Note: As mentioned during engine installation, it is likely that a couple of ounces of tail weight will be required to achieve the correct balance point specified in the back of this manual. If you are using a larger or heavier engine (such as the Tower Pro .46), the

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, medium CA. If using CA, be certain to use it sparingly and DO NOT use any CA accelerator. If accelerator is used, or if you use too much CA it will fog the canopy. GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY Mount the muffler and connect the fuel lines. Install a 2-1/4" [55mm] spinner (not included) and appropriate-size, balanced propeller. CHECK THE CONTROL DIRECTIONS ❍ 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws that hold on the servo arms. ❍ 2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the control surfaces to see if they are centered

• ❍ 2. With the wing attached to the fuselage, all parts of the model installed (ready to fly) and an empty fuel tank, place the model upside-down on the Great Planes C.G. Machine, or lift it upside-down at the balance point you marked. You should be able to feel the tape lines with your fingers. ❍ 3. If the tail drops, the model is “tail heavy” and the battery pack and/or receiver must be s

After break-in, confirm that the engine idles reliably, transitions smoothly and rapidly to full power and maintains full power

• Tower Hobbies UPROAR, to see how the model behaves in “landing mode.” Make mental notes (or have a friend make notes) of any trim or C.G. changes that may be required. Land when ready. After landing, make any mechanical adjustments so the trims can be returned to center. Make an inspection of the model to make sure all systems are operating and all fasteners are still tight and present. One final note about flying your model. Have a goal or flight plan in mind for every flight. This can be learning a new maneuver(s), improving a maneuver(s) you already know, or learning how the model behaves in c
