Specifications

Preparation of Main Wing Panel

Apply glue to the recess for the servos and insert the servo into the hole. Mount the rudder horns with the screws.

If you want to attach the optional tip tanks, cut 5mm away from the ailerons on the outside left & right and glue the tanks to the wings. The ailerons must be able to move freely.

Installation of Main Wing Panel

Adjusting the clevis - Turn the clevis (A) clockwise or anticlockwise on the linkage. Carefully spread the clevis and insert the clevis pin (B) into a selected hole in the control horn (C). Connect the push rod to the servo arm and the control horns. Glue the servo cover over the push rod.

Diagram showing clevis adjustment and connection.

Installation of Tail Unit

Apply glue to the tailplane and rudder and glue them to the fuselage. Screw the control horns to the tailplane. Connect the pushrod to the servo arm and the control horns. After gluing the main wing and the tailplane, make sure that the main wing and the tailplane are in line.

First Flight

For the first flight, wait for a calm day with only a light breeze. A good place is a large open field, away from trees, fences, power lines and other potentially dangerous obstacles.

• Carry out a full check of the systems.
• All control surfaces respond correctly.
• Appropriate throttle response and battery voltage.
• Perform a range test if not already done.

We recommend that you ask an experienced modeller to help you hand launch the model.

• Launch the aircraft with the fuselage and wings into the wind.
• Initially let the MIG-17 fly straight and level; do not attempt to turn it when it is close to the ground.
• Adjust the trims as necessary to transition the model into a steady climb.
• Check the model's response to the transmitter's control commands. You may need to increase or decrease control surface travel when the model is back on the ground.
• Bring the aircraft to a safe altitude and check the stall speed.
• Keep the speed much higher on the approach to avoid a stall.
• If you had to adjust the trim in flight, correct the mechanical linkages before flying again. This will allow you to re-centre the trims so that full trim travel is available for subsequent flights.
