positioned with about 1.5 mm clearance between the front flange and the spinner
backplate. Drill pilot-holes in the cowl, and fix it to the fuselage by screwing four self-
tapping screws through the moulding and into the firewall.
Mount the propeller and spinner on the motor.
Connecting the fuel lines
Locate the silicone fuel line attached to the fueltank clunk weight (fuel feed) and
connect it to the carburettor inlet nipple. Connect the overflow line to the pressure
nipple on the silencer.
The filler line must be sealed with a sealing nipple, Order No. 140 or 140.1, before
every flight.
Disconnect the overflow line from the silencer before filling the fueltank to avoid
excess fuel running into the silencer.
Decals
Apply the decals to the cowl as shown in the kit box illustration.
Assembling the SKY HERO III
Locate the four holes in the fuselage sides using your fingertips, and melt away the
covering film over them. Push the wing retainer dowels through the holes and glue
them in place.
Wrap the receiver battery in foam and push it into the space aft of the fueltank on the
fuselage floor; pack foam rubber round it to prevent it shifting. Attach the receiver to
the support plate and connect the servos to it in the appropriate sequence.
To connect the aileron servo to the receiver we recommend that you plug a
suppressor filter, Order No. 1040, into the appropriate receiver socket (2). Connect
the aileron servo to the extension lead and fit the wing on the fuselage: use four
rubber bands on each side to secure it. It is important to check the condition of the
rubber bands at regular intervals, as they will eventually perish. Always fit new ones if
you are not sure.
Balancing the SKY HERO III
Support the model under both wing roots at a point about 75 - 82 mm aft of the wing
leading edge. If the CG position is correct the model will hang level, with the nose
inclined slightly down. If necessary glue lead ballast to the nose or tail to obtain the
correct balance. All the control surfaces must be exactly at centre when the
transmitter trims and sticks are in the neutral position. Be sure to check this before
the first flight.
