Introduction
Based on the original scale outline developed by world famous scale modeller Mick Reeves, the Flying Legends
Hawker Hunter Mk IV comprises a fully moulded airframe, which has been completely finished at the factory.
Due to this it is vitally important that the components parts are protected during the assembly process to avoid
cosmetic damage to the surface finish. Ensure that your assembly area is of adequate size for a model of this size
and cover your work bench with protective foam to avoid marking of the paint finish.
Ensure that only the highest quality components are fitted to your Hunter, as a high performance jet scale model
such as this requires matching capability from the turbine and radio equipment to ensure safe, enjoyable and
reliable flying. If you have not previously flown a scale jet such as the Hunter we recommend that an experienced
scale jet pilot carry out a comprehensive check of the model and then make the initial test flights – although the
Hunter is easy to fly and to land, it is a large model with a great deal of inertia, and this can take a little getting
used to for a pilot inexperienced with such models.
Capable of being flown from hard surface runways or grass due to the wide undercarriage spacing and large
wheels, the Hunter has impeccable flying qualities, and is suitable as a first scale jet, particularly if experienced
assistance is available.

Turbine: 80 to 120 Newton turbine is recommended, with the lower powered turbines only suitable for
use from hard surface runways – if using a turbine more powerful than recommended please
ensure that the airframe is not overstressed in flight by the excessive use of full power.
Servos: Ailerons: 2 x 6.5 Kg.cm min torque req
(Futaba BLS451 used in prototypes)
Elevator: 2 x 4.5 Kg.cm min torque req
(Futaba S9650 used in prototypes)
Rudder: 1 x 6.5 Kg.cm min torque req
(Futaba BLS451 used in prototypes)
Flaps: 2 x 10 Kg.cm min torque req

Radio Battery: Due to the weight of the Hunter and the flight loads on the servos the current consumption is
much higher than on smaller models - due to this we strongly recommend the use of a battery
pack of at least 3000mAh, ideally of 6.0v to enable the optimum servo response.
