E-flite Tribute FX 3D ARF - Manual (Page 2)

E-flite Tribute Fx 3D ARF Assembly Manual
Introduction
Designed by ETOC champ George Hicks, the Tribute Fx 3D
combines the lightweight, fly-anywhere freedom of a profile
foamie with full-fuselage rigidity on par with balsa planes. It
also features a full-form symmetrical airfoil wing that lets you
fly 3D maneuvers in the kind of wind that would ground most
profile foamies. In short, this is a fantastic-flying freestyle 3D
machine that is just as at home at the flying field as it is at the
park. For freestyle fun that knows no bounds, this is the plane.
Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next
to each step to keep track of each step completed. Steps with
a single circle () are performed once, while steps with two
circles ( ) indicate that the step will require repeating, such
as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
