  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, needed for an electrical connector, and fix the grommets to the bypass with a small drop of thin CA. Inlet Joiner: The pre-painted inlet ducts are factory-installed, and only the back end may need trimming a little to exact length to fit the fibreglass inlet joiner. The inlet joiner is joined in the factory for you, and has 2 reinforcing ribs laminated into it during manufacture to ensure that it cannot be sucked flat by the turbine. Check the fit over the back of the inlet ducts. Included in the hardware pack is a length of 1” wide fibreglass band, and you can apply one wrap of this around the back of t

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, If you install the saddle tanks into an already finished plane, the wiring and tubing might need to be rearranged, depending on your installation. (see pictures) Mind the positioning of your vent line so that no fuel drips out when putting the plane together. Here a recommended sample position behind the wings. Assemble the brass tubes, kerosene stopper and aluminum tank cap using a kerosene-proof fuel tube inside the tank to join the parts together (Tygon or equivalent). To prevent any chance of fuel or air leaks, we highly recommend that you solder the supplied short brass sleeves over both ends of all the 4mm O.D. brass tubes

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, Adhesives and Solvents Not all types of glues are suited to working with composite parts. Here is a selection of what we normally use, and what we can truly recommend. Please don’t use inferior quality glues - you will end up with an inferior quality plane, that is not so strong or safe. Jet models require good gluing techniques, due to the higher flying speeds, and hence higher loads on many of the joints. We highly recommend that you use a slow filled thixotropic epoxy for gluing highly stressed joints (eg: Hysol 9462). The self-mixing nozzles make it easy to apply exactly t

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, Cockpit Frame and Canopy The moulded fibreglass canopy frame has already been trimmed at the factory, and the retaining method completed for you. It only remains for you to fit the clear cockpit canopy, and the plastic cockpit tub if you chose. The cockpit canopy frame is held in place by a pair of phe- nolic hooks at the back, a small phenolic tab at the top to centre it, and is retained at the front by a 2mm wire that slides into a tube from the nose. This is a very simple and reliable retaining meth

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, R/C and Gear Installation There is plenty of space in the cockpit area to make a really nice neat gear layout, but still with easy access to everything. Included in the kit are cnc milled plywood plates for the Receiver, Rx switch and retract/brake valve on the right side of the cockpit - and another for the Turbine ECU, solenoid valves, etc., on the left side. The layout shown in the photos in this manual and on the photosheets is our suggestion, and has proved to work very well, but of course it is your choice exactly how and where you wish to install the main components. However, we would recommend that you ke

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, length of the included double-sided Velcro. Our preferred method is to have a felt clunk (Webra #1121) fixed to the end of the brass feed tube inside the hopper tank, in the 3-dimensional centre of the fuel tank, which is connected to the fuel pump. Photo P9 shows the detail of how to assemble this, using a short length of the included clear 4mm I.D fuel tube. The very short length of Tygon tube immediately in front of the felt clunk is to prevent the felt slid- ing forwards off the metal clunk, and this is retained with a small cable-tie. Connect the ‘vent’ tube of the hopper tank to the ‘feed

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, Nosegear All 3 Behotec C36 retract units are the identical, and there is no ‘special’ nosegear unit. See photo P11 for view of complete assembled nosegear. Assemble the nosegear as shown here. Grind a small ‘flat’ about 5mm from the chamfered end of the longest (50mm) Ø6mm ground steel connecting pin. Fit the wheel collar provided with the bevelled edge towards the end of the pin (see photo right), and tighten the M3 set screw firmly with a drop of Loctite on the thread. Insert the pin from the top of the retract unit and slide the trailing-link noseleg onto it, making sure it fits on completely. If the connecting pin is a bit long y

  • Main Gear doors: Actually these are not really gear doors - just covers over the main oleo legs (see photo above). Mark the servo cov- ers as shown and mill 17mm wide ‘U’ shaped slots in each, 38mm long, for clearance of the oleo leg when the gear is down. Sand the milled parts to fit inside the fibreglass leg covers in the wing, with about 1mm gap either side. Make up 4 more sandw

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, tral fin, as shown, to allow extra cooling air to enter the outer thrust tube - and this is especially important if you fly in high ambient temperatures. They should be approx. 60mm long and 30mm wide. On both prototypes, with these intakes, the fuselage did not get warm - even after 2 or 3 minutes of engine idling in ambient temperatures of around 30° C. See template at end of Manual for shape. Engine and Bypass/Inlet Joiner Installation Turbine installation is extremely simple with easy access thru’ the large wing opening. It is a fully-bypassed system, using a new carbon composite bypass duct, and a sepa- rate fibre

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, Fuel System. The standard Flash kit includes a single composite fuel tank (2.2 litres) that installed in the fuselage above the inlet ducts, and a hopper tank that is installed in the cock- pit area. If you are installing a turbine of 9kg thrust or more, you will also need to install the optional wing fuel tank (1.4 litres) to give reasonable length flight times. Important Note: Please wash out all fuel tanks carefully before final assembly and installation to remove any parti- cles from the manufacturing and joining processes. Fuselage Tank: The fuselage tank is pre-joined and tested at the factory and has a central baffle instal

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, 6mm in front of the tank. Check that it is horizontal and then tack glue to the fuselage sides with a couple of drops of thin CA. Remove the temporary packers and the tank. Prepare the inside surface of the fuselage and tank sup- port by sanding and cleaning, and glue the support in per- manently with 30 min. epoxy. When cured, reinforce the joints with small patches of the fibreglass cloth and lami- nating epoxy in the same way as the rear tank support. The ‘stop‘ to prevent the tank moving forward is made from a milled plywood strip (151 x 15mm) screwed into the front of 2 blocks glued against the fuselage sides. Each block is mad

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, Setting Up Your Flash Depending on your turbine and battery choice, and what accessories you use, your completed Flash (dry) should weigh between 8.5 - 10 kgs dry. Centre of Gravity Set the Centre of Gravity at 360 - 370mm in front of the back end of the wingtip tanks, with empty fuel tanks and full hopper tank. For first flights we recommend that you keep to the forward end of this range. Control Throws To maximize the performance of your Flash we recommend that you use ‘flight mode’ settings, if your transmitter allows. 3 flightmodes (takeoff, flying and landing) allow you to change maxi- mum throws and expo-settings between the flight modes. For example, in

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, Accessories This is a list of the main additional items you will need to get your CARF Ultra Flash into the air. Some of them are mandatory, and some can be chosen by you. What we list here are highly recommended items, and have been thoroughly tested. 1. Power servos (min. 7). All main flight surfaces require a minimum 8kg digital servo, such as the excellent JR 8311/8411, and these are what the Ultra Flash was designed for. The Futaba S9351 is an alternative for the ailerons, flaps and rudder. See list below. 2. Turbine engine set. R

Rudder The rudder is cut loose, hinged and the dual phenolic con- trol horns are installed at the factory, and you just need to fit the rudder servo and linkage. Servo Choice: Any standard sized minimum 8kg torque digital servo will be OK for the rudder, but we highly rec- ommend the JR8311 or 8411. Centre the rudder servo using your R/C, and fit a plastic HD (H

  • 12mm wide plywood strip included in the kit, sand to required thickness, and glue to the mounting rails with CA (photo above). Normally the turbine will need to be mounted right at the front of the engine mounting rails, against F5, so that the back edge of the outer casing (the ‘chromed’ part on Jetcats’) is about 15 - 18mm in front of the front edge of the carbon bellmouth and F6 bulkhead.

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, 4 area when moving downwards. The slot needs some explanation, too. The cut line is exactly in the correct position so that the control surface slides under the wing skin smoothly. If the cut was a few mm forward or backwards, it would not work properly. So, make sure that the lip is not damaged, and that the control surface slides under this lip perfectly. It will not lock at any time, as long as the lip is not damaged. If damage occurs, you can cut a maximum of 2-3 mm off the lip on the wing in front of the control surface, but you should never cut off more than this. Servo Choice: We strongly advise that you use the recommended high-torque digi

  • About the ‘FLASH’ The CARF Ultra Flash's aerodynamical design is based on the CARF Ultra Lightning. The Ultra Flash is 20% reduced in size, and has a few additional modifications made. After more than a year of experience with the Lightning we were able to further simplify the design and even improve the aerobatic performance. We decided to build the whole Flash based on the K.I.S.S.

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, Attention ! This ‘jet’ aircraft is a high-end product and can create an enormous risk for both pilot and spec- tators, if not handled with care & used according to the instructions. Make sure that you operate your ‘Flash’ according to the laws and regulations governing model flying in the country of use. The engine, landing gear, servos, linkages and control surfaces have to be attached properly. Please use only the recommended servos and accessories. Make sure that the ‘Centre of Gravity’ is located in the recommended place. Use the nose heavy end of the CG range for your first flights. A tail heavy plane can be an eno

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, The next pictures show a finished plumbing installation. In this installation the inlet duct joiner in not used as it is not needed. If you still want to use the inlet duct joiner you will have to arrange your tubing and wiring different so it doesn’t affect the installation. Also, you will have to slightly cut certain areas of the duct joiner to make it still fit, because with the saddle tanks installed it is very tight. We anyways recommend leaving the inlet duct joiner out once the saddle tanks are installed, but we then highly recom

  • Building Instructions Exhaust Nozzle The fibreglass exhaust nozzle is completely painted, fin- ished and trimmed for you at the factory. It is secured to the fuselage at the top using an M3 x 6mm button-head bolt that slides into a slot you must file in the exhaust noz- zle, and 2 sheetmetal screws at the bottom that are screwed into plywood plates glued in si

Connect the clunk to the brass ‘feed’ tube with Tygon, and make sure that it almost reach- es the back end of the tank. If you fit the hopper tank in the recommended position on the floor at the back of the cock- pit you can bend the brass tubes a little to the right side where they extend out of the front of the tank so that the fuel tubes clear the hopper tank support. The feed line from the clunk in the wing tank is connected to the ‘ven

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, er as shown above. Then glue these 2 parts into the milled slots in the front engine bulkhead as shown, using epoxy. These will have M3 T-nuts glued to them to secure the upper bypass later. Trim and fit the ‘upper’ bypass. The stepped flange at the back goes over the outside of the carbon bellmouth, and if it is a tight fit you can sand the Ø140mm hole in bulkhead F6 a little. File the small notches in the back corners of the bypass to clear the bellmouth mounting angles, and also in each side to clear the turbine mounting. You might need to sand the front outside edges of the carbon bell

  • Carf-Models Ultra Flash, The openings for the servos (and retracts) in wing have been roughly cut out at the factory, but you need to finish trimming these. Using the servo mounts and servo hatch covers as templates, trim around the edges, reducing the width of the lip between the tabs for the hatch securing screws to just 1 - 2mm wide, and mark the holes for the cover fixing screws. Check that the servo mounts fit inside with a little clearance all round. You may need to sand the angle on the front outer edge of the mount a little for a per- fect fit (photo above). Assem
