E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 480 ARF Assembly Manual

During the course of building your model, we

suggest you use a soft base for the building surface.

Such things as a foam stand, large piece of

bedding foam or a thick bath towel will work well

and help protect the model from damage during

assembly. This is not shown in the instructions

to provide the greatest detail in the photos.

When referencing directions (up, down, left,

right top and bottom), these directions are in

relationship to the pilot sitting in the cockpit

of the aircraft, unless noted otherwise.

Before starting the assembly of your model, we

recommend preparing your radio system for

installation. This includes charging the transmitter and

receiver batteries, as well as centering the trims and

sticks on your transmitter. If using a computer radio,

make sure to reset a model memory and name it for

this particular model. We also recommend binding

the transmitter and receiver at this time, following

the instructions provided with your radio system.

We highly recommend re-binding the radio

system once all the control throws are set. This will

keep the servos from moving to their endpoints

until the transmitter and receiver connect.
