Assembly Manual



Please take a few moments to read this instruction manual before beginning

assembly. We have outlined a fast, clear and easy method to assemble this

aircraft and familiarizing yourself with this process will aid in a quick, easy

build.

Please read the following paragraph before beginning assembly of your aircraft!

THIS IS NOT A TOY! Serious injury, destruction of property, or even death

may result from the misuse of this product. Extreme Flight RC is providing

you, the consumer with a very high quality model aircraft component kit,

from which you, the consumer, will assemble a flying model. However it is

beyond our control to monitor the finished aircraft you produce. Extreme

Flight RC will in no way accept or assume responsibility or liability for

damages resulting from the use of this user assembled product. This aircraft

should be flown in accordance to the AMA safety code. It is highly

recommended that you join the Academy of Model Aeronautics in order to be

properly insured, and to operate your model at AMA sanctioned flying fields

only. If you are not willing to accept ALL liability for the use of this product,

please return it to the place of purchase immediately.

Extreme Flight RC, Ltd. guarantees this kit to be free of defects in materials

and workmanship for a period of 30 DAYS from the date of purchase. All

warranty claims must be accompanied by the original dated receipt. This

warranty is extended to the original purchaser of the aircraft kit only.

Extreme Flight RC in no way warranties its aircraft against flutter. We have

put these aircraft through the most grueling flight tests imaginable and have

not experienced any control surface flutter. Proper servo selection and linkage

set-up is absolutely essential. Inadequate servos or improper linkage set up

may result in flutter and possibly the complete destruction of your aircraft. If

you are not experienced in this type of linkage set-up or have questions

regarding servo choices, please contact us at info@extremeflightrc.com or

770-887-1794. It is your responsibility to ensure the airworthiness of your

model.

A few tips to ensure success

1. We are very pleased with the level of craftsmanship displayed by the

builders in our factory. Through hundreds of grueling test flights

containing maneuvers that no aircraft should be subjected to, our

prototypes have remained rigid and completely airworthy. However, it

is impossible for us to inspect every glue joint in the aircraft. Take a few

minutes and apply some medium CA to high stress areas such as servo

mounting trays , landing gear blocks, anti rotation pins, etc.

2. Having survived the journey half way around the world while

experiencing several climate changes, it is not uncommon for a few

wrinkles to develop in the covering. Fear not! These are not

manufacturing defects, and are easily removed with a little bit of heat.

Use a 100% cotton tee-shirt and your heat gun and heat the covering

while gently rubbing the covering onto the wood with the t-shirt. Seal

the edges of stripes with an iron. 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. 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 to 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.

4. DO NOT SKIMP ON SERVOS! Use the recommended servos or

equivalent to ensure that you have enough power to adequately actuate

the control surfaces.

5. Use a high quality epoxy for installing the composite control horns. We

highly recommend the use of Pacer Z-Poxy 30 minute formula.

We have used this glue for many years with zero failures.

6. Your aircraft is built using very modern construction techniques and is

very light weight for its size. As with any high performance machine,

regular inspection and maintenance is a must. While disassembling your

aircraft after a flying session, pay close attention and inspect glue joints,

linkages and loose covering to be sure the airframe is sound. A few minutes

spent doing this will help maintain airframe longevity.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extreme Flight RC

2 meter Vanquish!

The Extreme Flight 2 meter Vanquish is our attempt to provide the pattern

community with a very competitive, low cost alternative to the multi-thousand

dollar composite airframes currently dominating the competition circuit.

Properly assembled and set up the Vanquish can hold its own in any of the

classes against the aforementioned high dollar ships.

The Vanquish is loaded with unique features, including first rate useable

hardware and components and thorough instructions to ensure a trouble free

assembly and set-up. Weight saving components are used throughout, such as

carbon fiber wing and stab mounting tubes, carbon fiber landing gear,

titanium pushrods and carbon fiber tail wheel assembly. Wing and stab

adjusters are provided for precision incidence adjustment.

The Vanquish is intended to be powered by our Torque Silver Bullet F3A

motor or an equivalent 2600-3000 Watt power system running a lightweight

10S LiPo battery set up.

We have spent a great deal of time and effort to provide you, the

discriminating aerobatic enthusiast, with the highest quality, most complete

package possible. We are very proud of the end result of our labor and wish

you great success with the assembly and flying of your Extreme Flight RC

Vanquish!

Let's begin!

Stab and Elevator Assembly

Parts and tools needed for this

1. Locate the horizontal stabilizer/elevator assemblies as well as the composite

control horns and base plates from the elevator hardware package. Use a

sharp #11 blade to make a cut in the covering over the 2 slots for the elevator

control horns on the bottom of the elevator surface.

2. Insert the 2 control horns into the base plate and trial fit the horns into

the slot and make sure they seat properly against the base and elevator

surface. Score covering around the base plate with X-acto knife and lift the

covering away from the elevator to expose the balsa underneath.

3. Scuff the portion of the G10 control horns that will be inserted into the

elevator with sandpaper and insert them into the base plate.

4. Apply 30 minute epoxy to the slots and thoroughly coat the horns and

base plate bottom. Reinsert the assembly into the elevator and wipe away

any excess epoxy with a paper towel and denatured alcohol.

5. Place a 3mm bolt through the horns to help insure proper alignment and

set aside to dry. Repeat for the other elevator half.

6. Place the elevator back on the stab, making sure the hinges are centered

between the elevator and stab. Deflect the control surface to full deflection.

Use a fresh bottle of thin CA and a fine tube applicator to apply a couple

drops to each hinge. Flip elevator over and wick a few drops onto the other

side of hinge. Ensure that both sides get a few drops of CA. Repeat this

process for the other stab/elevator .

7. Cut away the covering around the servo horn opening on the bottom of the

stab with a sharp #11 blade.
