The Total Training Package

Congratulations on your selection of the Hangar 9 Easy Fly

40! Your kit comes complete with the “TICKET TOFLY R/C

Pilot Program,” a detailed video instruction guide designed

to help beginners become successful pilots.

This video guides you through every step of the learning

process — from building tricks and tips through your first solo flights. The

video shows in-depth procedures on radio setup, trimming the plane, and

breaking-in and tuning your engine. It covers the basic flight concepts you

need to know, like takeoffs, landings and, most importantly, how to find and

work with a qualified instructor. You’ll find out just what to expect when

you arrive at the flying field… before you even get there.

When you use the video in conjunction with the complete, photo-illustrated

instruction manual, you’ll gain the confidence and ability to successfully

meet the challenge of R/C flight. This video is an invaluable teaching aid

which will shorten the time it takes to properly learn to operate and fly the

Easy Fly 40.

Good Luck and Good Flying!

Introduction

Congratulations!

You are the proud owner of the highest quality almost-ready-to-fly (ARF) sport trainer available. The Easy Fly

40 is professionally built and pre-covered by craftsmen using genuine UltraCote®covering. The positive self-

righting flight characteristics and excellent slow-speed handling make the Easy Fly 40 one of the easiest-to-fly

airplanes available. Beyond its positive, gentle flight mannerisms, the Easy Fly 40 also offers outstanding

sport aerobatic capabilities. Loops, rolls, sustained inverted flight, and even outside maneuvers are all well

within its flight envelope.

In order for you to get the best performance and most enjoyment from your Easy Fly 40, it is important to

carefully read and follow this manual. If you’re a first-time flier, we strongly suggest that you seek qualified

help during your first flights. Your local hobby shop will be able to put you in touch with qualified pilots and a

local club.

Note: Due to temperature changes during shipping, the covering on your Easy Fly may be slightly wrinkled.

The careful use of a heat gun or iron is recommended to shrink the UltraCote®until its taut.

Warning

An R/C aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in

open areas, preferably AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, and have an experienced

modeler/pilot preflight your aircraft before its first flight and perform the aircraft’s first test flights. Please

follow all instructions included with your radio and engine. We cannot stress strongly enough the importance

of having an experienced pilot preflight your aircraft and be present during your first test flights!

The Easy Fly 40 is professionally built and

pre-covered by craftsmen using genuine UltraCote®

covering. UltraCote is completely reparable and can

be found at your local hobby shop.

❑1. Carefully remove the aileron from the right wing panel.

Note where the hinges and the aileron torque rod fit into

the aileron.

❑2. Mix a small amount of 30-minute epoxy, carefully

following the instructions included with the epoxy.

❑3. Using a toothpick, apply epoxy into the ailerons’ torque

rod hole. Fill the hole 1/2 full.

❑4. Replace the aileron on the right wing half. Make sure

the hinges slide in place and the aileron torque rod

inserts into its respective hole in the aileron. The gap

between aileron and wing should be a constant 1/16”.

❑5. Wipe off any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol.

❑6. Deflect the aileron and apply a small amount of thin CA

glue to each hinge. Make sure that the CA glue

penetrates into the aileron and wing while maintaining a

1/16” aileron gap.

❑7. Wipe off any excess CA glue using CA remover and a

paper towel.

❑8. Repeat this process for the left wing (Steps 1-7).

Note:

After the CA has dried completely, check to ensure that

the hinges are secure by pulling firmly on the ailerons.

Important:

The ailerons are fitted in place but not glued in. They

must be correctly glued prior to flying.
