The version of the Flying Bulls is a T-28B of the model year The Flitework T28 mini convinces with stable flight characteristics and superior speed range. This model has reinforced carbon wing stringers to get it very stable during speed flight up to 110 mph. Attention please! Remote controlled model planes are not a toy! For assembling, flying and servicing such models, you need a high grade of technical comprehension and liability. Careless assembling and operation may cause personal and material damage. Because the Flitework GmbH has no influence on assembly, RC installation, operation and servicing of the flight device, any liability is rejected under explicit advice to these dangers. Read this manual and its safety precautions carefully! Keep this manual and if you give the model to a third party, put this manual to the model. Take care, that you are familiar with your transmitter and all electronic components, used in your plane. Take care of all safety instructions of tools, which are you using to assemble this model. Only take glues, which are recommended for the specific materials and which are approved for model business. Before assembling please check all parts of this kit. If some parts are missing or have a mistake, please call. The symbols on the package show you, that the model and its accessories should not be put to waste. All electric and electronic parts should be deposed to places of waste management. Batteries and accumulators must be removed from the devices and should be deposed to the correct waste management organisation. Take information from your home town government

3 1. Your T-28 Mini should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the T-28, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property. 2.You must assemble the model according to the instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in a unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written instructions should be considered as correct. 3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong. 4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-class condition and a correctly sized engine and components (fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process. 6. You must check the operation of the model before every flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue. 7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, you should fly the model only with the help of a competent, experienced R/C pilot. 8. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use, if the plane will be used for extremly hight stress flying, such as racing, or if an engine larger than one in the recommended range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to reinforce the hight stress points and/or substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress. 5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components so that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air. Flitework quality We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and flyability of your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your completed model and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model.

5 Remove the color from the glueing areas by sanding the parts carefully. For hidden areas you can use a glass pencil, which you can get from the stationery store. If you put the parts together with 5 min. epoxy glue, take care for a correct alignment. Fix the parts with pins until the glue is setted. Attention!! Never take CA glue for EPO, because this glue causes damages to this material. Always take epoxy glue. If you use to much of epoxy glue, the glue is oozing out between the parts. You can remove this glue, using a cotton stick. Before you glue the tail unit to the body, it is very important, to hook in the elevator linkage. Use the third hole, away from the flap. Afterward you can glue the complete unit to the fuselage, looking for correct aligment. Take care, that the lower part of the rudder meets the fuselage at the center. Put also epoxy glue there. Fix the unit with pins until glue has hardened. Adjust the elevator linkage so, that elevator flap and servo lever are in neutral position as shown in the picture. The position of the clevis should be the third hole from oter side of the servo lever. Take care, that the prong of the clevis snaps correct to the opposite side. Additional you can fix the clevis with a small shrinking tube, provided in this kit

6 In the following picture you can see a possible placement of the compnents like receiver and battery. To have no problem with the CG, you should place the receiver as backmost as possible.

For connecting the ailerons you can use the included V-cable. If you like experimenting with flaps or you like aileron differentiation, it would be better to connect each aileron servo to a separate channel. Elevator Ailerons +/- 5mm +/- 7mm 5cm During the last few moments of preparation your mind may be elsewhere anticipating the excitement of the first flight. Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook certain checks and procedures that should be performed before the model is flown. To help avoid this, a checklist is rovided to make sure these important areas are no overlooked. Many are covered in the instruction manual, so where appropriate, refer to the manual for complete instructions. Be sure to check the items off as they are completed (that's why it's called a check list!). The CG is located 5cm behind the joint of fuselage and main wing. Especially small models require a correct CG to have good flight performance

7 1. Check the C.G. according to the measurements provided in the manual. 2. Be certain the battery and receiver are securely mounted in the fuse. Simply stuffing them into place with foam rubber is not sufficient. 3. Look for a correct position of your receiver antenna or antennas. The antenna should not be close to other wires inside the fuselage. 4. Balance your model laterally as explained in the instructions. 5. Use threadlocking compound to secure critical fasteners such as the set screws that hold the wheel axles to the struts, screws that hold the carburetor arm (if applicable), screw-lock pushrod connectors, etc. 6. Add a drop of oil to the axles so the wheels will turn freely. 7. Make sure all hinges are securely glued in place. 8. Reinforce holes for wood screws with thin CA where appropriate (servo mounting screws, cowl mounting screws, etc.). 9. Confirm that all controls operate in the correct direction and the throws are set up according to the manual. 10. Make sure there are silicone retainers on all the clevises and that all servo arms are secured to the servos with the screws included with your radio. 11. Secure connections between servo wires and Y connectors or servo extensions and the connection between your battery pack and the on/off switch with vinyl tape, heat shrink tubing or special clips suitable for that purpose. 12. Make sure any servo extension cords you may have used do not interfere with other systems (servo arms, pushrods, etc.). 14. Secure the pressure tap (if used) to the muffler with high temp RTV silicone, thread locking compound or J.B.Weld. 15. Make sure the fuel lines are connected and are not kinked. 16. Balance your propeller (and spare propellers). 17. Tighten the propeller nut and spinner. 18. Place your name, address, AMA number and telephone number on or inside your model. 19. Cycle your receiver battery pack (if necessary) and make sure it is fully charged. 20. If you wish to photograph your model, do so before your first flight. 21. Range check your radio when you get to the flying field. Service department Revell GmbH Henschelstr , Bünde, Germany Tel: service@hobbico.de - 7 -
