Disclaimer

1. This radio controlled model is not a toy. Used incorrectly it is capable of inflicting serious injury to

persons or damage to property. The owner/pilot assumes all responsibility for any damage to persons

or property resulting from the use of this product.

2. The manufacturer and distributor decline all responsibility for any liability arising from use of this

product.

. It is very important that you follow all instructions for assembling and setting up of this model.

Failure to do so could result in a loss of control and possibly a crash.

“EPOFLEXY” is a ver

y tough and durable material perfect for the manufacture of model aircraft. When

using screwed fixings with “EPOFLEXY” components it is important to tighten the screws sufficiently to

provide a firm fixing.

Excess tightening could result in the foam material becoming compressed, possibly damaging or

distorting the part. Take care to ensure that all screws are tightened sufficiently to provide a firm fixing,

but do-not over tighten. We recommend that all fixings are checked regularly for security and safety

purposes.

“EPOFLEXY”

Overview

Thank-you for purchasing this MAX-THRUST RIOT radio controlled model aircraft. The RIOT offers a

stunning combination of terrific looks and sensational flight performance. Manufactured from

“EPOFLEXY” it is extremely robust, however, in the event of a “less than perfect” arrival, we supply a

range of spares to get you flying again in the shortest time. It is capable of a wide range of amazing

aerobatic manoeuvres to thrill the experienced pilot, but with reduced control throws it provides a

solid and predictable flight performance, perfect for the sports flyer.

We are certain you will enjoy your new model, please take the time to read this manual thoroughly and

understand its contents completely prior to commencing assembly.

4 x Screw 2.6 x 12mm

Assembly Instructions

1. Undercarriage.

Fix the undercarriage in position

with the four 2.6 x 12mm self-

tapping screws as shown, (image A).

Note: The undercarriage legs are

angled towards the front of the

fuselage.

2. Horizontal Tail

Plane.

Slide the horizontal tail

plane into

the fuselage slot as shown, (image

B). Make certain that the holes in

the tail-plane line-up with the

corresponding fuselage holes.

If desired, a small amount of foam

glue can be used for maximum

security.

Install the vertical fin and rudder

assembly into the slot in the

fuselage. Please make certain

that the tail-wheel control wire is

located correctly in the rudder

slot as shown, (image C).

If desired, a small amount of

foam glue can be used for

maximum se

curity.

. Vertical Fin & Rudder.

4. Tail

Plane Fixing.

Fix the horizontal tail

plane and

vertical fin in position with the two

2.6 x 35mm screws provided, (image

D). The screws must be tightened

sufficiently to securely fix the parts

in position, however be careful not

to over-tighten the screws.

2 x Screw 2.6 x 35mm

5. Tail Control Horns.

Connect the rudder and elevator

snap-links to their respective control

horns as shown in images E & F.

Minor adjustment to obtain perfect

neutral positions of the control

surfaces can be achieved by rotating

the plastic link on the threaded

portion of the control push-rod.

Make certain the plastic link is

securely “snapped” closed when

connected to the control horn.

Plastic Collar

Locate the 500mm

aluminium wing

joining spar and slide into the round

aperture of one wing panel up to the

centre locating collar. Locate the small

plywood wing locking plate and insert

into the rectangular aperture behind

the main wing spar, (image G). Slide the

remaining wing panel onto the exposed

portion of the aluminium spar. The

plywood locking plate will ensure

perfect alignment of the two wing

halves. Be certain that all wires are

routed correctly via the moulded slots

and do not foul the joint between the

wing roots. If desired, a small amount of

foam glue can be used for maximum

security.

6. Wing Assembly.

Connect the two black aileron servo

plugs from the wing to the “Y” lead

as shown, (image H). The remaining

plug from the “Y” connector should

be plugged into socket “A” of the

pre-installed circuit board located in

the fuselage, (image I). Please pay

particular attention to the polarity of

this connection as shown in the

diagram.

Socket “A”

The two remaining white plugs from

the wing are for the model’s built-in

LED lighting system and should be

connected to the corresponding

sockets on the circuit board, (image

I). You will note these plugs are

polarity protected to prevent

incorrect connection.

Note:

The plastic connectors are angled for

the wing camber.

3 x Screw M4 x 50mm

1 x

Insert the front and rear plastic

connectors into the wing, (image J).

They are angled to provide a perfect

fit. Make certain you have them

located correctly! The wing can now

be trial-fixed in position onto the

fuselage using the 3 x M4 x 50mm

screws provided.

7. Wing Fixings.

8. Propeller & Spinner.

Fit the propeller and spinner to

the motor as shown, (images K &

L).

Note: It is essential that the

propeller is securely fixed.

Failure to do so could result in

serious injury.

Tighten

Securely

9. Receiver Installation.

Connect the speed controller to the throttle channel of your receiver, (not included). This wire is easily

identified, it is the only one that is routed from the front of the model.

Connect the rudder and elevator servos to the corresponding channel outputs of the receiver and

connect the one remaining lead from the circuit board to the aileron channel output. There is a

moulded recess in this compartment which is sufficient to accommodate most popular 2.4GHz

receivers; however there is ample room elsewhere to locate yours if it does not.

We recommend that it should be securely positioned with self-adhesive “Velcro”.

You must adhere to the receiver manufacturer recommendations regarding positioning and aerial

routing.

10. Battery Installation.

The battery compartment is accessed by gently s ueezing the two ra

ised white tags and lifting the

rear of the front hinged cover, (image M). Your flight battery, (not-included) can easily be installed and

connected to the factory fitted “T” style connector, (image N). Make certain the battery and cover are

both secure before flight.

11. Control Surfaces.

Check that all control surfaces are centred and responding correctly to transmitter inputs.

Adjustments can be made to control surface centres by carefully rotating the plastic control horns on

the threaded portion of the metal control rods. Use the servo reversing function on your transmitter

for any control that is not responding in the correct sense to control inputs. Make certain that all

plastic links are securely “snapped” closed and that all control surface hinges are secure. Use a small

amount of foam glue if any hinges are not firmly attached.

12. Propeller Rotation.

Double

check that the propell

er is securely fixed and it is

rotating in the correct direction, (image O).

1 . Centre of Gravity.

It is vital that you check that the

centre of gravity is correct. Failure

to do so could result in a complete

loss of control. We recommend the

balance point of the model,

complete with battery, should be

75 -90mm back from the leading

edge of the wing for initial flights,

(image P). Very experienced pilots

may wish to move the balance

point further back after initial flight

testing.

14. Control Surface Deflecti

ons.

We make the following recommendations for control surface deflections. Experienced pilots may

wish to increase these movements after initial flight testing.

Ailerons: 10mm each way.

Elevator: 10mm each way.

Rudder: 12mm each way.

Mark Tilbury: Designer.

We hope you enjoy many happy and safe flights with

your new Max-Thrust RIOT model aircraft.
