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 its completion. Steps with a single circle () are
performed once, while steps with two or more circles
() indicate 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.
Introduction
The Cessna 150, while designed over 50 years ago,
to this day has a personality and spirit all its own.
Considered still tame enough for training, the Aerobat
version appealed to casual pilots that needed a jolt
to become even more proficient. This 250-size ARF
version is for RC pilots wanting the thrill of basic
aerobatics in a small yet detailed package. This clever,
all-wood model remarkably maintains the subtle curves
and character of the original aircraft, yet is distinctively
detailed with a checker-scheme that honors the
character of the Aerobat. Despite its compact size, you
get these great features like an: authentic scale outline,
laser cut engineering, fiberglass cowl and wheel pants,
and a lightweight UltraCote ® ParkLite ™ trim scheme.
The magnetically secured wing panels and cowling
make for quick assembly and the oversized quick-
release accessory hatch allows easy access for radio
and battery installation. The steerable nose strut makes
ground handling a breeze and the optional aluminum
spinner (EFLSP100) adds the perfect finish to the
model.
