SAFETY in Assembly
During assembly of this aircraft, you will be asked to use sharp knives and hobby adhesives.
Please follow all safety procedures recommended by the manufacturers of the products you use,
and always follow these important guidelines:
ALWAYS protect your eyes when working with adhesives, knives, or tools, especially power
tools. Safety glasses are the best way to protect your eyes.
ALWAYS protect your body, especially your hands and fingers when using adhesives, knives,
or tools, especially power tools. Do not cut toward exposed skin with hobby knives. Do not
place hobby knives on tables or benches where they can roll off or be knocked off.
ALWAYS have a first-aid kit handy when working with adhesives, knives, or tools, especially
power tools. ALWAYS keep hobby equipment and supplies out of the reach of children.
SAFETY in Flying
This is NOT a toy! It is a very high-performance RC airplane capable of high speeds and
extreme maneuvers. It should only be operated by a competent pilot in a safe area with proper
supervision.
ONLY fly your aircraft in a safe, open area, away from spectators and vehicles and
where it is legal to fly. NEVER fly over an unsafe area, such as a road or street.
NEVER fly near overhead power or utility lines. If your airplane ever becomes stuck in
a line or a tree DO NOT attempt to retrieve it yourself. Contact the authorities for
assistance in retrieving your aircraft. Power lines are DANGEROUS and falls from
ladders and trees CAN KILL!
Never fly too close to yourself or spectators.
Spinning propellers are DANGEROUS!
Never run your motor inside a house or building with the propeller attached Remove the
prop for safety. Always fly within your control.
Always follow manufacturers instructions for your radio system.
Always preform a pre-flight check of your aircraft to be certain of the aircraft's
airworthiness.
Always obtain proper insurance before flying. Always fly model aircraft in accordance
with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Safety Code. Visit the AMA's website
at www.modelaircraft.org for more information.

Assembly Instructions – Read completely before starting assembly!
UNPACK :
Unpack your airplane and examine the components. Check for damage of any kind. If you have
damage, please contact Extreme Flight to discuss. Contact info listed above.
WRINKLES :
Your airplane was packed in plastic at the factory without any wrinkles in the covering. You may
notice some wrinkles now; more likely, you will notice a few in a day or two or the first time you take
the plane out to the flying field. These wrinkles are the result of wood shrinkage and/or expansion.
Balsa wood changes size and shape slightly as it is exposed to varying humidity in the air. This is a
natural property of balsa wood. As your airplane adjusts to the weather in your part of the world,
wrinkles may appear and disappear. Wrinkles may be removed with the gentle application of heat to
the covering material on your airplane. The best tools to use are a heat gun and covering iron. Apply
the heat gently: the covering material will shrink as you apply the heat, and this will remove the
wrinkles. BE CAREFUL! Too much heat applied too quickly can damage the covering, either by
causing it to pull away from the wood at seams and corners or even by melting it. The covering will
shrink at low temperature with patient application of heat. Wrinkles in the covering DO NOT affect
flight performance. If you must shrink on a color-seam, use the iron and go slowly and carefully to
avoid any pulling or lifting at the seam.
Remove the canopy before attempting to use heat on your covering! The canopy is made of thermo-
activated plastic and WILL deform with the application of heat. Do not apply heat to the canopy.
PAINT:
If you need to clean your airplane, we recommend using a damp towel. The paint used on the canopy
and cowl is not safe for all cleaners. In particular, DO NOT use alcohol on these parts, it will remove
the paint.
Let’s get started!
Using a soldering iron or hobby knife, remove covering from forward fuselage areas.
1. Front Anti-rotation pin
2. Wing Safety Pin
3. Wingtip( Factory Cut)
4. Cut either one for aileron servo leads.
5. Wing bolt
6. Rear Anti-rotation pin
Next remove covering for the horizontal stabilizer bolts and front stab carbon tube.
Remove tail wheel assembly set screws one at a time and re-torque using blue loctite.
Install tail wheel assembly using 3x-4-40 bolts and washers. Use blue loctite on the bolts.
Contents of landing gear hardware bag.
The axles come pre-drilled and the pin is included in the hardware bag. To get the proper spacing you
will need 1 collar and one washer on the inside of the axle and then one washer on the outside of the
axle as shown.
Take note of the washer and wheel collar as discussed above.
Now attach the assembled wheel and pant to the landing gear with the included #4-40 bolts and nylon
lock nut. Remember to slide the landing gear cuffs on before attaching both wheel pants as well. The
screws holes should face towards the ground.
This is what the finished assembly should look like.
Make sure the wheel is centered in the pant. If adjustment is needed, you can rearrange the washers
and collar to achieve it.
Next attach the landing gear to the plane with the included 4mm bolts, washers, and nylon lock nuts.
Use the Phillips head 3mm screw to attack the cuffs to the landing gear. The cuffs can also be used to
hold the landing gear cover plate in place.
Using a 3-32 allen wrench, be sure to make the already installed #4-40 bolts are tight.
The 106” has a long tunnel suitable for canisters or tuned pipes. We provide the parts for a variety of
setups. Vented covers are included for the tunnel which can be installed if desired. If using stock
mufflers, the covering over the tunnel can be left intact if desired.
First, if desired, the entire tunnel can be blocked off with this blockoff plate. Install with epoxy glue
and wood screws.
