Congratulations on your purchase of the Extreme Flight RC 120cc Slick 580

EXP! Designed by Extreme Flight and developed by Jase Dussia, the Slick

580 was conceived as a no holds barred, no excuses all out Freestyle

competition machine. The first prototypes were sent directly to the Dussia's

in Michigan in the Summer of 2016. The aircraft were assembled, setup and

dialed in. A few short weeks later Jase won the 2016 Clover Creek

Invitational Freestyle competition with his new Slick! After the contest

further testing was conducted and minor tweaks were made to the airframe to

improve strength while reducing weight. Extreme Flight returned to China in

November 2016 to oversee the implementation of the final changes and

tweaks. Now the Slicks are here, and ready to usher in a new era in 120cc

Aerobatic performance!

The new Slick 580 is a masterpiece of integrated carbon and composite

reinforced balsa airframe design. Strong, rigid and lightweight with a state of

the art aerodynamic package, the Slick excels at XA, 3D and precision

aerobatics and is probably the fastest rolling giant scale aerobatic plane in

existence. Extreme Flight and Jase evaluated various airfoils, multiple wing

planform details, several rudder designs, and more to maximize all these

characteristics. Highly stylized with flowing lines and curves reminiscent of a

composite airframe, the Slick 580 is simply gorgeous. Currently available in 2

Arron Bates designed ultra modern Ultracote color schemes, the Slick will

also be available in Jase's printed competition scheme very soon.

The Slick ships with a complete hardware package that is competition proven

and exactly what Jase uses in his models. It also includes a set of engine

baffles that can be trimmed to accommodate most makes of 100-120cc

engines. Rig out your model just like Jase's with our line of Xcessories

including Flowmaster tanks, EF fuel dots, 20 AWG twisted servo extensions,

high quality aluminum servo arms, MKS servos and DA engines.

If you are looking for the pinnacle of competition level ARF aircraft, here it

is!

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. Go over all the seams on the aircraft with a covering iron on a

medium heat setting. Also, due to climate changes, wrinkles may

develop in the covering. These are easily removed with a little bit of

heat. Use a 100% cotton tee-shirt or microfiber cloth and your heat gun

and heat the covering while gently rubbing the covering onto the wood

with the cloth. Be careful not to use too much heat as the covering may

shrink too much and begin to lift at the edges. Take your time, and a

beautiful, paint-like finish is attainable.

3. Apply CA to high stress areas such as servo mounting trays, landing

gear mounts, anti-rotation pins, wing and stab root ribs, wing mounting

tabs and motor box joints etc.

4. By the time your aircraft arrives at your door step, it will have been

handled by a lot of people. Occasionally there are small dings or

imperfections on some of the surfaces. An effective method to restore

these imperfections to original condition is to use a very fine tipped

hypodermic needle and inject a drop of water under the covering

material and into the ding in the wood. Apply heat to the area with a

sealing iron and the imperfection will disappear. Deeper marks may

require that this process be repeated a couple of times to achieve the

desired result, but you will be surprised at how well this technique

works.

5. Use high quality, fresh epoxy for installing the composite control

horns and hinges. We highly recommend Pacer Z-Poxy 30 minute

Epoxy. We are very pleased with the results and ease of application and

cleanup of these products.

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

rates with exponential values. Your flying experience will be greatly

enhanced once your plane is properly dialed in.

7. Extreme Flight now has their own Vimeo channel. There are many

assembly videos providing extreme detail on certain aspects of the

assembly. https://vimeo.com/extremeflightrc

Let's Begin:

1. Locate the wing panels/ailerons and horizontal stabilizers/elevators and

associated hardware bags. We will begin by hinging all of these at one time.

I strongly recommend 30 minute (or slower curing) epoxy for installing

hinges. I have found it easier to apply 3-5 drops of glue in the hinge hole and

then using a toothpick, or similar, spread the glue around the sides of the

hinge hole. Do this on just one side of the surface at a time. Before applying

any glue to the hinge itself, I highly recommend you protect

the hinge pin (pivot point) from glue. I use Vaseline. Tape will work however

it is harder to remove later. In any case apply either protectant to the center

of the hinge so glue cannot penetrate the pin. Once you have the holes lathered

with glue, apply a small amount to the hinge barbs and insert into the hinge

hole until the pin is even with the hinge line. Be sure your hinge pivots freely

and is perpendicular to the hinge line. Allow to dry then mate to the

appropriate surface (wing to

aileron/horizontal stabilizer to elevator) and allow to dry. ***PLEASE

NOTE*** there are 3 hinges that have been shortened to clear the tube

socket. They are glued into the 3 inboard positions as shown.

2. Install the control horns for the ailerons. ***PLEASE NOTE*** There are

2 different size control horns for the ailerons. The 2 longer sets are for the

outboard aileron servos, the 2 shorter sets are for the inboard locations. Pay

very close attention when separating and grouping the horns to be sure you

are gluing the correct horns in the correct location!

Insert the horns into the base plate and then temporarily install them in the

aileron. Trace around the base plate with a fine tipped felt marker and then

remove the horn and base plate. Use a sharp hobby knife to cut 2mm inside

the line you marked and remove the covering. Scuff the bottom portion of the

control horn that inserts into the hole in the control surface. Use epoxy to

secure the control horns in place. Follow the same process to install the

elevator control horns in the designated locations.

3. Install the aileron servos and orient the output shaft of the servo towards

the hinge line. You will notice there are 2 types of ball links included: one

standard ball link and one with a built in riser. The standard ball link is

sandwiched between the control horns, the ball link with the riser is secured

to the aluminum servo arm. Thread the ball links onto each end of the

turnbuckle pushrod. You may find it necessary to shorten the pushrods

slightly (2mm) on each end with a pair of side cutters for best fit. To secure

the ball link to the control horns insert the 3mm bolt with integrated washer

thru the control horn, then the ball link in the middle, then thru the other

control horn, then the washer and nylon insert nut onto the other side.

Electronically center your servo and install the aluminum arm perpendicular

to the servo case. Secure the ball link with the riser to the servo arm. Do the

same for the other servo locations. You will need to use the servo matching

function in your radio or an external device to make sure the 2 aileron servos

are perfectly synchronized and causing no binding. Failure to do so can

destroy your servos in short order.
