INTRODUCTION

This kit is NOT intended for beginners. If you do not posses at least average building

and flying skills, we suggest you get competent help before attempting this project.

Are you ready for something wild, something completely different, and something that

will make you the instant center of attention whenever you fly? The Miss Hangar One

flying boat will surely fill the bill. Is it a boat? Yep. Is it a plane? Yep. It is also possibly

the most fun you can have on land, water and in the air all at the same time! Styled

after the turbine powered unlimited racing hydros, Miss Hangar One captures that spirit

and a whole lot more. You can rip it around on the water all you want and then go

airborne at will for amazing aerobatic flight. With its reinforced hull you can also

operated from hard surfaces like your local runway or street. At the local park, grass is

the next best thing to water. So buckle up, you’re in for a wild ride!

This kit is precision CNC Laser cut from Depron. There are some unique features of this

material. It sands well, much like balsa. It is also more rigid than blue or Fan Fold

Foam. This means those less than perfect landings will usually just result in minor

scraping or bending.

The foam takes paint very well and can be coated with most aerosol spray paints. We

like to use Tamiya model paints for their high gloss appearance and variety of colors.

Use many light coats instead of a few heavy ones to cover quickly. If unsure about your

paint, test it on some scrap first. Trim sheets also work well.

The entire construction can be accomplished with foam safe CA. If you choose to use

kicker, please use it sparingly , as it can attack the foam if used in quantity. We like to

spray one part first, then apply the CA to the other part and join them. You may use

epoxy for the firewall. If you choose to use epoxy for construction, please treat it like

lead and use sparingly!

When you build, as with any electric model, weight is critical. With this in mind, try to

select components that will yield the lightest possible weight. This will ensure the best

flight performance. We are a full service hobby shop. All of the necessary components

are available from Red’s Hangar One. We take customer feedback seriously. PLEASE if

you find an error in the kit let us know, we WILL fix it! Please check your parts against

the ID sheets in the back of this manual. We try our best to be as complete as possible,

but we’re only human.

Thanks,

Red

CONSTRUCTION

Please take a moment to completely read through this manual before you begin. The

construction sequence is a little unorthodox in some areas. The construction is laid out

in a logical sequence, but this is an illogical flying machine! So please take care and

make sure you understand each step before proceeding. Use only foam safe glues for

the construction. Anything else will damage the foam. We are not responsible for gluing

errors. Use the parts ID sheets at the end of this manual to cut each part loose from its

sheet as needed.

Note: All building is best done on a smooth flat bench for the most accurate results.

There are pictures of the completed model at the end for your reference.

1. Begin by separating the elevators from the left and right deck with an X-acto

knife. Glue the left and right deck halves together. Cover the spar slots with

hinge tape. This is the top of the deck.

2. Separate the upper elevators, as well as the rudders. Using a sanding block,

bevel these surfaces.

a. Pro Tip: Lay the part you are beveling upside down even with the edge

of your bench holding your sanding block at a 45 deg. angle. Sand in

long, even strokes until you reach the bench. The result will be a perfect

edge!

3. Add the control horns to all the surfaces as well as interconnects for the upper

and lower elevators.

4. Hinge all the flying surfaces now. The elevators are hinged on top and the

rudders on the outside.

5. Turn the deck over and run a bead of CA on the walls of the spar slots one at a

time. Sparingly spray kicker on the spar and push into place. You may come

back and apply another bead of glue to the top. Repeat for the rear spar.

6. Glue the deck doubler in place on the bottom of the deck being careful to retain

alignment. The servo holes are the best indication of this.

7. Still working from the bottom of the hull, glue the inner sponsons in place

making sure they stay 90 deg. to the deck.

8. Glue the steps in place. These are a nice tight fit; you will have to flex the inner

sponson slightly to get them in.

9. Glue the forward sponson bottoms in place. Run a thin bead of glue on the step

and inner sponson, then Sparingly spray the sponson bottom with accelerator

and hold in place.

10. Glue the outer rear sponsons in place being careful to keep it 90 deg. from the

deck. Do not put glue on the area that contacts the step. Glue to the deck only.

11. Trail fit the rear sponson bottom in place and note the area to be glued. Apply

glue to the contact areas and fit into place. Go back and glue the area of the

inner sponson to the step.

12. Now take some extra time to go back and make sure you have no gaps in the

sponsons. You can glue all the seams from the inside. You want to make this
