2. Locate the two piece aluminum spinner. Install
the back plate onto the motor shaft using the mounting
bolts that came with the engine. Secure the spinner
with the 5 mm

50 mm socket head cap screw to the
motor shaft. Be sure to apply a couple of drops of thread
locker to the screw.
APPLY THE DECALS
Refer to these pictures and the pictures on the box to
determine the location for the decals. Use the following
instructions to apply the decals.
❏
1. Peel the decal from the decal sheet.
❏
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily
fi ngerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket
with a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm water—about
one teaspoon of soap per gallon of water. Submerse
the decal in the soap and water and peel off the paper
backing.
Note: Even though the decals have a “sticky-
back” and are not the water transfer type, submersing
them in soap & water allows accurate positioning and
reduces air bubbles underneath.
❏
3. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding
the decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the
water away.
❏
4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to
squeegee remaining water from under the decal. Apply
the rest of the decals the same way.
GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY
CHECK THE CONTROL DIRECTIONS
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center
the trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from
the servos and reposition them so they are centered.
Reinstall the screws that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check
all the control surfaces to see if they are centered. If
necessary, adjust the clevises on the pushrods to center
the control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the
carburetor respond in the correct direction as shown in
the diagram. If any of the controls respond in the wrong
direction, use the servo reversing in the transmitter to
reverse the servos connected to those controls. Be
certain the control surfaces have remained centered.
Adjust if necessary.
SET THE CONTROL THROWS
To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight, set up your Corsair
according to the control throws specifi ed in this
manual. The throws have been determined through
actual fl ight testing and accurate record-keeping
allowing the model to perform in the manner in which
it was intended. If, after you have become accustomed
to the way the Corsair fl ies, you would like to change
the throws to suit your taste, that is fi ne. However,
too much control throw could make the model too
responsive and diffi cult to control, so remember,
“more is not always better.”

1. Use a box or something similar to prop up the
bottom of the fuselage so the horizontal stabilizer and
wing will be level.
