Step 6

Attaching the Horizontal Stabilizer

1. Locate the horizontal stab of the tail.

2. Slide the stab joiner rod into one side of the stab.

Slide the stab with the joiner rod through the fuselage

and then slide the opposite stab onto the fuselage.

3. Use the tape provided to properly secure the tail

to the fuselage as shown. Use the tape on the

top and bottom of each side of the tail (total of 4

applications).

4. Turn on the transmitter and plug in the flight battery.

Make sure the trim levers are centered and the left

stick is in the full down position.

5. Locate the pushrods and clevises exiting both

sides of the fuselage, and attach the clevises to the

outermost hole of the control horns as shown.

6. Make sure both elevators are at neutral, without

any deflection on either side. Both sides must be

even. Make any trim adjustments as necessary prior

to flight.

Note: To make trim adjustments to the horizontal

stabilizer:

a. Turn on radio transmitter.

b. Plug in fully charged battery into fuse by connecting

the blue EC3 connector on the battery to the blue

EC3 connector on the ESC.

c. Use the elevator trim of the radio by moving up or

down to center the tail at neutral when the gimbal is

also at neutral. If these changes are not sufficient,

center the transmitter elevator trim lever, then

remove the clevis from the control surface and

turn clevis in or out as needed to move the control

surface back to neutral.

Warning: Always keep hands and all objects away from

the propeller in case the motor is engaged. A moving

propeller can cause severe injury and/or damage.

7. Your Bf-109G is supplied with a small Maltese

cross for the tail insignia, to be applied as shown.

For those desiring a more accurate tail insignia,

an optional swastika decal is available separately

(PKZ4930, not available in all territories).

Installing the Propeller and Spinner

1. Slide collet onto motor shaft.

2. Slide spinner backplate followed by the propeller

onto the collet shaft.

3. Thread aluminum hex nut onto threaded collet and

tighten securely.

4. Install spinner making sure it is keyed into the

spinner backplate and using a Phillips screwdriver

install the 3mm x 10mm screw. Take care to center

the propeller blades in the cutouts of the 3-bladed

spinner, without allowing any of the blades to contact

the spinner.

Note: Another available option is the 2-bladed spinner

(PKZ4908). The included motor has a low Kv that was

engineered to match the included 3-bladed propeller. If

a two-bladed propeller is used with the stock motor, we

suggest using a 12 x 12 electric propeller. In addition,

the E-flite Apprentice motor is a higher Kv and is a drop-

in fit for the stock Bf-109G motor.

Warning: Use of the 3-bladed prop with the Apprentice

motor will result in excess current and likely damage

the motor.
