FLYING

There are no particular fl ight characteristics about the

Sequence 1.20 that you need to be made aware of ahead of
time. The Sequence is a well-balanced, neutral fl ying plane
that will go wherever you point it. Simply fl y the Sequence
within your capabilities and take it easy for the fi rst couple of
fl ights to give your self time to become acclimated to it.

Have a ball!

But always stay in control

and fl y in a safe manner.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!

OPTIONAL WOOD / FRP

EP MOTOR MOUNT BOX

The wood/FRP (fi ber-reinforced plastic) motor mount box

may be used to “front-mount” a RimFire 1.20 brushless
motor (or other outrunners), or a geared inrunner.

ITEMS REQUIRED:

❍ (4) M3 x 8 motor mounting screws for RimFire 1.20 or

suitable mounting screws for your motor

❍ (4ea) 4-40 blind nuts, 4-40 x 1/2" screws, #4 fl at washers

and lock washers

❍ Great Planes 8mm to 3/8-24 thread propeller adapter (for

RimFire 1.20, GPMQ4971)

1. Use medium-grit sandpaper to roughen both sides of the

FRP front bulkhead so glue will adhere. Glue the four blind
nut doublers
to one side of the bulkhead as shown. Then

press 4-40 blind nuts into the doublers. If using a geared
inrunner that requires additional support, also press four
more 4-40 blind nuts into one side of the rear bulkhead. If
used, the rear motor mount may be custom fi t to your motor
and bolted to the rear bulkhead.

2. Glue both backplate doublers to one side of the tabbed
backplate.

3. Test fi t the sides, top, bottom, backplate assembly, rear
bulkhead and front bulkhead together—be certain the blind nuts
on the front bulkhead and the blind nuts (if used) on the rear
bulkhead are facing aft and the doublers on the tabbed back
plate are also on the back of the stack. Make any adjustments
necessary, and then securely glue the assembly together.
