INTRODUCTION.
ThankyouforchoosingtheEXTRA300S ARTFbySEAGULLMODELS.The EXTRA300S was
designedwith theintermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind.It isa scale airplane which iseasy to
fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make it
stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find
thatmostoftheworkhasbeendoneforyoualready. Themotormounthasbeenfittedandthehinges
are pre-installed . Flying the EXTRA 300S is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your EXTRA 300S. Use the parts listing below to
identify all parts.

NOTE: To avoid scratching your new aero-
planewesuggestthatyoucoveryour
workbench with an old towel. Keep a
couple of jars or bowls handy to hold
the small parts after you open the
bags.
Pleasetrialfitallparts.Makesureyou
have the correct parts and that they
fit and are aligned properly before
gluing! This will ensure proper as-
semblyasthe EXTRA 300Sismade
from natural materials and minor ad-
justments may have to be made.
The paint and plastic parts used in
this kit are fuel proof. However, they
arenottolerantofmanyharshchemi-
cals including the following: paint

erator,cyanoacrylategluede-bonder

calscome in contact with thecolours
onthecovering andtheplastic parts.
1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2)Remove eachhinge fromthe wingpanel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. This will help ensure an equal amount
ofhingeis oneithersideof thehingelinewhen
the aileron is mounted to the aileron.
HINGING THE AILERONS.
3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron.
Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron
against the wing panel.A gap of 1/64” or less
shouldbe maintainedbetween the wingpanel
andaileron.
The control surfaces, including the
ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are
prehinged with hinges installed, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is
imperativethat youproperly adherethe
hingesin placeper thesteps thatfollow
using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
Note:

T-pin.
4)Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
aileronsfrontsurface shouldlightlycontactthe
wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the
hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less
will be maintained throughout the lengh of the
aileron to the wing panel hinge line.
Note: The hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick or
penetrateanddistribute throughoutthe
hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structureof thewing panel andaileron.

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
8)After both ailerons are securely hinged,
firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully
applying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge,makingsurethattheC/Apenetratesinto
both the aileron and wing panel.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a
papertowel, removeanyexcess C/Aglue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileronhinge area.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
Work the aileron up and down several
times to “work in” the hinges and check
for proper movement.

2) Usinga modelingknife, cutone length
ofsilicon fuel line. Connectone endof the line
tothe weightedfuel pickup and theother end
to the nylon pick up tube.
3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut
off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes
leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the
stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.
INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY.
Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to
permenently set the angle of the vent tube.
4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none falls into the tank.
Important: When the stopper assembly is in-
stalled in the tank, the top of the vent tube
should rest just below the top surface of the
tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.

Silicon tubing not inclued. 5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick-up should rest away from
therear of thetank and movefreely inside the
tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.

into the aileron servo mount.
2) Secure the servos with the screws pro-
vided with your radio system.
Because the size of servos differ, you
mayneedtoadjust thesizeoftheprecut open-
ing in the mount. The notch in the sides of the
mount allow the servo lead to pass through.
The propeller should not touch any part
of the spinner cone. If it does, use a
sharp modeling knife and carefully trim away
the spinner cone where the propeller comes
in contact with it.

thecovering at mountingslot ofhorizontalsta-
bilizer ( both side of fuselage).
3) Slide the stabilizer into place in the pre-
cut slot in the rear of the fuselage. The stabi-
lizer should be pushed firmly against the front
of the slot.
HORIZONTALSTABILIZER.
1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the
centerlineof the horizontalstabilizer,atthetrail-
ing edge, and place a mark. Use a triangle
and extend this mark, from back to front,
across the top of the stabilizer. Also extend
thismark downthe backof thetrailing edgeof
the stabilizer.
4) With the stabilizer held firmly in place,
use a pen and draw lines onto the stabilizer
where it and the fuselage sides meet. Do this
on both the right and left sides and top and
bottom of the stabilizer.
