ASSEMBLE INSTRUCTION. FUSELAGE 1. Apply foam safe glue to the nose of the fuselage, and install the vacuum formed plastic nose cone as shown. 2. Connect both the rudder servo lead and the LED light lead to the extension cord as shown.
3. Install the vertical fin onto the fuselage. Ensure it is fully seated, and the front part of the vertical fin is fully inserted into the slot as shown. Use the supplied set of 3 x 8mm self-tapping screws to lock the vertical fin in place. Note: Please do this on both sides. 4. Trial fit the stabilizer onto the fuselage and ensure it is fully seated inside the slot.
5. Install the ball link socket to the ball head fitting on the stabilizer control horn as shown. Repeat this step on the other side. Check from the rear to ensure both elevator halves are level on each side. If necessary, adjust the clevis by turning half a turn either clockwise or anti-clockwise to achieve a neutral elevator. 6. Connect the flap control linkages as shown. The length of the flap control linkages are factory set. Ensure the outer and inner flaps are set perfectly level with each other.
WING INSTALLATION 7. Place the mid-wing panel on a work bench or an airplane stand. Thread the bunch of servo leads and the power cables through the fuselage as shown. 8. Install the wing onto the fuselage. First align the wing dowels to the holes on the wing mount, and then place the rear part of the mid-wing panel into the wing cradle. Use the supplied wing mounting screws M4 x 55mm to secure the mid-wing panel in place.
PROPELLER AND SPINNER INSTALLATION 9. This twin motor powered KingTwin uses a set of counter-rotating propellers, and they spin inwards when view from the front. 10. Find a propeller with a marking “L” on the prop hub which will be installed on the left-hand side. It spins clockwise when viewed from the front. See pic shown below. Place the prop on the spinner back plate.
OUTER WING PANEL INSTALLATION We have designed a no fuss & an easy way to attach the wing panel by using a multi-link connector and a unique plastic mount which securely connects everything together at the same time. 11. Align the wing joiners to the set of tubes which are pre-installed in the mid-wing. Slide the outer wing panel all the way in until you hear a “click” sound from the plastic clip underneath the wing. This “click” means that the outer wing panel has been attached securely to the mid wing.
SCALE DETAILED PART A 1. Glue the tail skid onto the fuselage as shown. 2. Glue all scale detail parts onto the plane as shown.

CONTROL DIRECTIONS TESTS: Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test. After binding your transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to 0, then adjust the clevises to center all the control surfaces. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move in the proper direction.
FLYING THE KINGTWIN 1700: Flying the KingTwin simply put is a pure joy. Its twin counter rotating prop design, its long wing and ample power system combine to give a very locked in, stable and fun flying experience. When flying the King Twin you’ll want to have a good short grass runway or hard surface to fly from and take off runs are a breeze with mid flap setting. The model will take-off after a short run out at just above 1/2 throttle and settle into a nice smooth climb out.
MODEL FLYING PRECAUTIONS: • Select your flying area carefully. Always choose an open space that is clear and not obstructed by trees, poles, pylons, and buildings etc. Also ensure you are away from people and crowded areas. Avoid flying in areas with roads, near water, or within close proximity to full size air traffic. • Do not fly this model in poor weather, for example: high winds, low visibility, inclement temperatures, and rain and storms are also to be avoided.
TROUBLE SHOOTING: Motors do not run: 1. Battery is not fully charged (Charge the battery). 2. Transmitter battery is low (Charge or install a fully charged battery). 3. Motors are not connected properly (Check the motor to ESC connections and the ESC to battery connections). 4. Receiver is not bound to the transmitter (Consult your radio manual and go through the binding procedure). 5.
