Removing Wrinkles; Building Precautions; Transportation And Storage; Replacement Covering - Horizon Hobby HANGAR 9 Tiger 30cc Manuel D'utilisation

REMOVING WRINKLES

The covering of your model may develop wrinkles during shipping. Use a covering iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron
sock (HAN141) to remove them. Start with a lower heat setting and use caution while working around areas where
the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors. It is also advised to use caution around the canopy as it is plastic
and could distort with excessive heat. Avoid using too much heat, which could also separate the colors. Placing a cool
damp cloth on adjacent colors will also help prevent the separation of the colors while removing wrinkles. Only use a
heat gun (HAN100) once the covering iron has been used.

BUILDING PRECAUTIONS

Prepare the work surface prior to beginning the build. The surface should be soft and free of any sharp objects. We
recommend resting the airframe parts on a soft towel or pit mat to prevent scratching or denting the surface of the
aircraft.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

When transporting and storing your model, you will need a minimum of 80 inches (2.1m) in length, and 19 inches
(50cm) in height to accommodate the size of the fuselage. We also recommend the use of wing and stabilizer bags to
help protect these surfaces during transport and storage. The control horns and linkages can cause damage to other
surfaces even when placed in storage bags. Always transport and store the wings and stabilizer so the linkages do not
contact other panels to prevent damage.

REPLACEMENT COVERING

Your model is covered with UltraCote® fi lm in the following colors. If repairs are required, order these coverings to
make those repairs.
HANU870 White
HANU866 True Red
HANU881 Silver
HANU885 Midnight Blue

CHECKING BLIND NUTS

When building the aircraft, you will be required to thread machine screws into blind nuts. We recommend pre-threading
the screws to make sure the blind nuts are clear of any debris. If the screws do not thread in easily, clear the threads
using the appropriate tap and tap handle.

FOR THE VISUALLY CHALLENGED

HINGING THE AILERONS

1. Use a straight edge to align the aileron to the wing tip.
2. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the slot in the hinges on both
the wing and control surfaces.

FULL-SPAN AILERON PREPARATION

 The Tiger 30cc can be built using two aileron
servos and full-span ailerons. When building
with flaps and aileron, skip to Step 14.
3. Center the fl ap between the aileron and wing.
4. Measure and record the distance between the aileron and
fl ap. Remove the fl ap and aileron from the wing.
5. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove the covering
exposing the holes for the carbon joining pins in both the
aileron and fl ap.
