If overall painting is chosen, these instructions assume you have the necessary experience and materials therefore only the steps required to finish the canopy in Awhite@ are described below. Note: If you are changing the color, be aware that the decals are best applied only over white or very light colors. NOTE: Refer to Table 3: Finishing Methods and Procedures.

XIV. ROTOR BLADE SELECTION It is recommended that a blade length of 680mm to 700mm be used. A good quality rotor blade is suggested. Miniature Aircraft USA offers a variety of high quality rotor blades suitable for the Fury Tempest. XV. FINAL MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC SET-UP NOTE: The following procedures will be described using a pitch gauge, fly bar lock and paddle gauges. The use of these items is highly recommended since without them an accurate set-up is very difficult.

XVII. PRE-FLIGHT INFORMATION At home: Be sure you have all necessary equipment to operate or service the model. Be sure all batteries are fully charged. At the flying site: Observe any flying site rules. Check the frequency board or nearby pilots to clear your frequency. Range check your radio as per the manufacture=s instructions. Pre-check all controls. Obtain assistance from more experienced pilots of possible.
XIX. FIRST FLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS Before flying double check direction of each control; tail rotor compensation direction and gyro direction. The first few flights should be limited to hovering only. Engine Carburetor Settings: With the engine running, set the idle adjustments to enable the engine to maintain a rich reliable idle (trying to four cycle) at low throttle, mid to high trim. Set the high speed needle to accelerate, but slightly rich.
