Step 1: Unbox & Inventory Check

1. Fuselage (pre-installed 50mm EDF, 2627 4500kV motor, 30A ESC, servos, wiring harness)
2. One-piece main wing
3. One-piece horizontal stabilizer (tailplane / elevator)
4. Pushrod + clevis set
5. Mounting screws (KA2.0��12)
6. Battery hook & loop tape + battery strap

Step 2: Install Main Wing

1. Feed the aileron servo Y-harness cable carefully through the fuselage wing slot. Do not pinch or crush wires.
2. Slide the single-piece wing fully into the fuselage wing saddle, seat tightly.
3. Secure wing with the included 2.0��12 screws.

Important: Do NOT over-tighten screws �� you will crack EPO foam.

Step 3: Mount Horizontal Stabilizer (Elevator Tailplane)

1. Lightly sand the mating surfaces of fuselage rear & horizontal stabilizer for better glue adhesion.
2. Apply thin bead of foam-safe CA glue to the tail joint.
3. Push stabilizer into rear fuselage slot, keep perfectly level. Let glue fully cure (5�C10 min).
4. Attach metal elevator pushrod:
   • Connect clevis to elevator control horn
   • Secure the plastic clevis retaining tube to prevent popping off in flight

Step 4: Radio Receiver Wiring

• CH1 �� Ailerons
• CH2 �� Elevator
• CH3 �� Throttle (EDF fan)
• CH4 �� Spare (used for Vector gyro mode switch on PV version)
  Tuck all loose wires neatly inside the cavity; avoid blocking battery compartment.

If you have Vector Stabilization (AH020PV): Follow Vector manual to assign flight mode switch on your transmitter.

Step 5: Battery Installation & CG Setup

1. Stick loop side of hook-and-loop tape onto your LiPo battery.
2. Place battery inside fuselage bay and fasten with integrated elastic strap.
3. Critical Center of Gravity (CG): 60�C70 mm back from wing leading edge
   • Move battery forward = nose heavier
   • Move battery backward = tail heavier
     Rest jet on fingertips at CG point; slight nose-down balance is ideal for maiden flight.

Step 6: Control Surface Adjustment (Control Throws)

• Low Rate
  Aileron: ��8 mm
  Elevator: ��8 mm
• High Rate
  Aileron: ��10 mm
  Elevator: ��10 mm

Step 7: Full Pre-Flight Checklist

1. Turn transmitter ON first, then connect LiPo battery to jet.
2. Test all controls:
   • Right stick �� Ailerons
   • Left stick vertical �� Elevator
   • Left stick horizontal �� Throttle (EDF fan)
3. Check elevator/ailerons move in correct direction; reverse channels in radio if backwards.
4. Spin up EDF fan at low throttle �� confirm no rubbing inside the shroud.
5. Check all glue joints, screws, clevises are secure.
6. Double-check CG again before hand launch.

Important Safety & Build Tips

1. Only foam-safe CA glue �� regular superglue dissolves EPO foam.
2. This jet has no landing gear; it uses belly landing. Avoid scraping servo bottoms.
3. Hand-launch only; launch firmly at slight upward angle with medium throttle.
4. Do not run EDF fan on the ground for long �� debris can damage 11-blade fan.
5. Unplug battery immediately after flying to prevent LiPo over-discharge.

Assembly Steps

1. Inventory all parts; inspect fan, wiring, servos for damage. Do NOT connect battery yet.
2. Route aileron Y-cable through fuselage wing cutout, slide wing fully home, install mounting screws (do not over-tighten).
3. Sand tail joint lightly, apply foam-safe CA glue, fit horizontal stabilizer, keep level. Allow glue to fully cure.
4. Attach elevator pushrod + clevis; fit clevis retainer clip.
5. Plug receiver into onboard harness:
   CH1 Aileron��CH2 Elevator��CH3 Throttle��CH4 Gyro Mode (PV version)
6. Centre all transmitter sticks, adjust clevises so control surfaces sit neutral.
7. Install battery strap & hook-loop tape. Set CG = 60�C70 mm behind wing leading edge. Shift battery forward/aft to balance.

Recommended Control Throws (Maiden: LOW RATES)

• Low rate: Aileron ��8 mm��Elevator ��8 mm
• High rate: Aileron ��10 mm��Elevator ��10 mm

Pre-Flight Checklist (MANDATORY)

Quick Critical Warnings

• Standard 502 / regular CA melts EPO foam. Use foam-safe super glue only.
• No landing gear �C belly land. Avoid hard impacts on servos.
• Hand launch only: Firm toss, slight climb angle, medium throttle.
• Do not idle fan on ground for extended time; dirt damages fan blades.

Arrows Hobby BAe Hawk 50mm Red Arrows AH020 / AH020PV

1. Check all parts, inspect EDF fan, wiring and servos for damage. Do not connect battery at this stage.
2. Route the aileron Y-harness cable through the fuselage wing opening. Slide the main wing fully into position and fit mounting screws. Do not over tighten screws.
3. Lightly sand joining surfaces for the horizontal stabiliser. Apply foam-safe CA glue, fit stabiliser and keep perfectly level. Leave glue to fully cure.
4. Install elevator pushrod and clevis. Fit clevis retaining clip to stop disconnection mid flight.
5. Connect receiver to onboard wiring harness
   CH1 Aileron
   CH2 Elevator
   CH3 Throttle
   CH4 Gyro mode switch (AH020PV vector gyro version only)
6. Centre all transmitter sticks. Adjust clevis positions so ailerons and elevator sit neutral.
7. Fit battery hook and loop tape and battery strap. Set CG 60�C70 mm back from wing leading edge. Move battery forward or backward to achieve correct balance.

Tools Required �C Arrows Hobby BAe Hawk 50mm Red Arrows

Tools Included IN THE KIT

• Small Phillips 2.0 screwdriver (usually supplied)
• Pushrods, clevises, retaining clips, mounting screws

Tools YOU NEED TO BUY / Prepare (No heavy specialty gear)

Must Have

1. Foam-safe CA glue (Super Glue for EPO foam)
   Regular 502 / standard CA eats EPO foam �C this is the most important item.
2. Small hobby sandpaper / sanding stick (to rough tail joint for glue grip)
3. Hobby knife / sharp blade (trim excess foam if needed)

Useful Optional Tools (Not mandatory but convenient)

• CA glue accelerator (speeds up tail glue curing)
• Tweezers (easier to fit small clevis clips)
• Digital caliper (to accurately measure CG 60�C70mm)
• Hobby tape (hold tail steady while glue dries)
• Wire cutters (if you need to shorten receiver antenna)

No special machinery needed

Quick Summary
