Tips for Success:

1. Before starting assembly, take a few minutes to read the entire instruction

manual to familiarize yourself with the assembly process.

2. Please take a few minutes and go over all the seams on the aircraft with a

covering iron on a medium heat setting. Avoid using a heat gun on seams.

3. Use a fresh bottle of thin CA with a fine glue tip when attaching the CA

hinges. This will ensure that the proper amount of CA wicks into the hinge

and surrounding balsa wood and creates a proper bond between the wood and

hinges. We are big fans of the Mercury line of adhesives as well as the glue

tips provided by them.

4. Apply a couple drops of CA to high stress areas such as anti-rotation pins,

landing gear mounts, servo trays and motor box joints and carbon support

mounts.

5. All of the G10 control horns are the same with the exception of the elevator

horn. Its base has been shortened to fit the depth of the elevator.

6. When applying decals, first clean the area where the decal will be applied

with alcohol. Mist the area lightly with Windex before applying the decal

which will allow you to properly position it, then use a rubber squeegee to

push all of the liquid from under the decal. This will result in very few air

pockets trapped under the decal.

7. Take the time to properly balance and trim your aircraft and set up rates

and exponential values. Your flying experience will be greatly enhanced by

doing this.

Please note:

The assembly process for the MXS is pretty much identical

to that of the Extra and Edge EXP. Many of the photos in this manual will

show the Extra airframe. Only those assembly steps which differ will show

the MXS (mainly the installation of the dual ball link pushrod assemblies and

the installation of the elevator and horizontal stabilizer).

Items needed for completion

-masking tape

-Thin and medium CA. We highly recommend Mercury M5T thin and M100XF medium

formulas as well as the Mercury glue tips.

-30 minute epoxy. The new Mercury adhesives Epoxies have worked very well for us.

-Blue Loctite.

-Silicon based glue (Zap-A-Dap-A-Goo, etc.)

-Electric drill with an assortment of small drill bits.

-Small flat head and Phillips head screw drivers.

-Standard and needle nose pliers.

-Metric balldriver or allen key set.

-3 sub micro metal geared servos and 1 micro metal geared servo. All flight testing was

performed with Hitec HS-65MG and HS-5065MG digital servos on the ailerons and rudder

and a single Hitec HS-85MG on the elevator. We strongly recommend the use of these high

quality servos.

-Torque 2814T/820 Brushless Outrunner motor. This is the motor that this aircraft was

designed around and will deliver the best performance for the MXS.

-Airboss Elite 45 Amp ESC.

-4S 2350-3000 mah LiPo battery. We've had great success with the Thunder Power line of

batteries as well as the Zippy Rhino and Flightmax bargain LiPos available from

www.hobbycity.com in both 2350 mah and 2650 mah sizes.

-APC 12x6 E prop (NOT the slow fly version!).

-52mm Extreme Flight spinner.

-2 18"-24" extensions for the 2 rear servos and 2 6"-8" extensions to go between the

receiver and the aileron servo leads. We recommend the 28 or 32 AWG extensions to save

weight.

-Adhesive backed Velcro and Velcro strap for battery retention.

Let's begin!

1. Locate the 2 wing panels with ailerons as well as the 2 G10 aileron control

horns. Remove the ailerons from the wing and remove the covering over the

slot for the aileron horn on the bottom of the aileron with a sharp hobby

blade. Make sure you are doing this on the bottom of the aileron!

2. Scuff the portion of the control horn that will be glued into the aileron with

sandpaper.

3. Use a glue tip on your bottle of medium CA and apply glue to the slot as

well as to both sides of the control horn. Insert the control horn into the slot

and make sure it seats properly against the surface of the aileron.

4. Remove the covering from the aileron servo location and make sure the

hinges are centered in their slots.



5. Slide the aileron into position on the hinges and secure with several drops

of fresh thin CA. This process is much easier and more effective if a fine glue

tip is used. Make sure to deflect the surface as pictured while applying the

CA.



6. Use the screws provided by the servo manufacturer to secure the aileron

servo in the designated location. 1 screw installed in the center hole at each

end of the servo is adequate to secure the servo. Make sure the output shaft is

positioned toward the trailing edge of the wing.

7. Locate the 2 threaded pushrods that are the same length and 4 micro ball

links along with 4 2mm screws, nuts and washers. Thread the ball links onto

each end of the pushrods and secure to the servo arm and control horn with

the 2 mm hardware as shown in the picture. Use the longest arm provided

with your servo.

Repeat this process for the other wing half.

8. Locate the fuselage, one piece carbon fiber landing gear (the gear pictured

in the photo is the curved Extra landing gear. The gear legs on the MXS are

straight), 2 silver 3mm machine screws and 2 washers. Secure the landing

gear to the fuselage by inserting a 3mm screw into a washer, through the

carbon fiber gear and into the pre-installed blind nut in the fuselage. Make

sure to use a drop of blue Loctite on each screw to prevent them from backing

out.

9. Locate the 2 axles, 2 locking nuts, 2 wheels, 2 wheel collars and 2 wheel

pants from the hardware package. Place the wheel onto the axle and secure

with a wheel collar. Place the threaded portion of the axle through the hole in

the carbon gear and screw the lock nut onto the axle, but do not tighten

completely. There is a slot pre-cut in the wheel pant to allow it to fit over the

axle. Before installing the wheel pant place a drop of silicon based glue onto

the wheel pant just above the pre-cut slot. This will prevent the wheel pant

from rotating, but allow it to move in the case of a mishap which may help to

prevent damage. Slide the wheel pant into position over the axle and tighten

the nut on the axle, taking care to make sure the wheel pant is positioned

properly. Repeat this process for the remaining wheel pant. Again this is

probably better explained in the following series of pictures.

10. Locate the horizontal stabilizer/elevator assembly and slide the elevator

off of the hinges. Please pay careful attention here!!! You must insert the one

piece elevator into the fuselage before installing the horizontal stabilizer! The

elevator must be inserted into the fuselage upside down with the counter

balances facing the rear of the aircraft as shown in the following photo. Once

inserted into the fuselage the elevator can be rotated 180 degrees and placed

in the proper location.
