CONTENT
With all of the planes in the Avios range the Bushmule (in the plug and fly format) will require some additional
electronic components to be ready for flight. Avios recommends the products linked to related items for optimum
performance and great value. These products and many more are available at www.hobbyking.com
Required to complete the Avios Bushmule:
4
1. Vertical and Horizontal Tail Surfaces
• Flex all control surfaces (Elevator and rudder) to loosen the hinge joint.
• Attach the Horizontal tailplane and then insert the vertical stabilizer with the front first then home the
rear of the vertical stabilizer. Make sure this is a secure firm fit. Use 2 2mm x 45mm self-tapping
screws to mount the tail surfaces to the rear of the fuselage.
• The Avios team suggests that you apply either foam safe contact adhesive or a long set time 2-part
epoxy on these tail surfaces. If you have no need to remove these parts or if you are going to push
the Bushmule to its extreme flight envelope.
• Use a Servo tester to centre your elevator and rudder servos, then adjust the clevises until you
have a level and zeroed control service. (Hint-Placing some fuel tube or small zip tie the secure the
clevis is always a good for security and peace of mind.)
2. Landing Gear
• Insert from landing gear leg in the front mounting bracket. Centre the nose wheel and tighten the
1.5mm grub screw. (Use a thread lock and make sure the grub screw tightens onto the flat part of
the shaft)
• Centre the nose wheel steering servo with a servo tester and attach the control rod from the servo
arm to the connecting arm of the nose gear shaft.
• Attach the main landing gear, simply insert the pre-bent wire of the landing gear into the slot in the
centre of the fuselage. Use the two mounting brackets and the four 2mm x 13mm self-tapping
screws to secure the main gear.
ASSEMBLY
3. Installation of main wing
• The main wing centre piece houses the motors, ESC’s, flaps, flap servos and main wiring harness.
• Please centre all servos, flex the ailerons on the outer wing panels.
• Connect all control rods to the cont rol horns with the supplied hardware to the flaps and Ailerons.
• Make the wiring harness is labelled and organised then bundled together to keep the wiring harness
from getting caught between the main centre wing and fuselage.
• Use the two M4 x 55mm main wing machine screws to secure the main centre wing section to the
fuselage.
• Use the two square machined aluminium wing spares and slide them into the main wing section,
attach the servo extensions to power your lights and ailerons.
• After you home the outer wing to the centre main wing section use the four 2mm x 15mm self-tap-
ping screws to fasten the outer wing sections to the main centre wing section.
• Attach the wing strut support with the 4 available split pins. Please check the wing at this point to
make sure the dihedral angle is even with both outer wing sections.

4. Electronic avionics set up
• Requiring a minimum 6 channel receiver bound to your transmitter plug in all the corresponding
channels.
• These controls include the Throttle, Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder, Flaps and cargo door.
• Plug your 4S LiPo flight battery into the XT-60 battery connector that powers up your Bushmule.
• Check the rotation of the outrunner motors, they should both spin in opposite direction. Either both
towards the fuselage or towards the wing tips.
• Check all your control services and make sure they are all operating the correct way without any
binding issues. Adjust mechanically if they are not equally centered.
5. Control Set-up
• The Avios Bushmule handles extremely well, is very manoeuvrable through all ranges of the flight
envelope. In saying this your Avios Bushmule needs setting up before your initial maiden flight.
After the first flight the you can adjust the control surfaces to suite your own preference.

Basic assembly of your Bushmule is complete.
Now perform a final check on all screws, bolts and components,
ensuring all are secure and firmly in place.
