NEMESIS-114 Instruction Manual INTRODUCTION. Thank you for choosing the NEMESIS ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The NEMESIS was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a scale airplane which is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find that most of the work has been done for you already.
www.seagullmodels.com NOTE: To avoid scratching your new aeroplane we suggest that you cover your workbench with an old towel. Keep a couple of jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts after you open the bags. Please trial fit all parts. Make sure you have the correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly before gluing! This will ensure proper assembly as the NEMESIS is made from natural materials and minor adjustments may have to be made.

Apply thin C/A glue to each hinge, making sure that the C/A penetrates into both the aileron and wing panel. Instruction Manual A. 6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a paper towel, remove any excess C/A glue that may have accumulated on the wing or in the aileron hinge area. 7) Repeat this process with the other wing panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

Using an drill bit, drill the mounting holes through the engine mount at the four locations marked. Locker glue. 3) A drop of C/A glue on the wheel collar screws will help keep them from coming lose during operation. Repeat the process for the other wheel. 155mm. .
NEMESIS-114 Instruction Manual Machine Screw M3x10mm. COWLING INSTALLATION. 1) Slide the fiberglass cowl over the engine and line up the back edge of the cowl with the marks you made on the fuselage then trim and cut. Because of the size of the cowl, it may be necessary to use a needle valve extension for the high speed needle valve. Make this out of sufficient length 1.5mm wire and install it into the end of the needle valve.

Because the size of servos differ, you may need to adjust the size of the precut opening in the mount. The notch in the sides of the mount allow the servo lead to pass through. 1) Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto the throttle servo. Test fit the servo into the aileron servo mount.

NEMESIS-114 Instruction Manual HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. 1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trailing edge, and place a mark. Use a triangle and extend this mark, from back to front, across the top of the stabilizer. Also extend this mark down the back of the trailing edge of the stabilizer. Center line. Cut. 3) Slide the stabilizer into place in the precut slot in the rear of the fuselage.

Cutting into the balsa structure may weaken it. 6) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove the covering that overlaps the stabilizer mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Remove the covering from both the top and the bottom of the platform sides. 7) When you are sure that everything is aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount of 30 Minute Epoxy.

Improper balance will cause your plane to lose control and crash. The center of gravity is locate 180mm back from the leading edge of the wing, measured at wing tip. 2) If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose heavy. To correct this first move the battery pack further back in the fuselage.
NEMESIS-114 Instruction Manual F) From behind the airplane, look at the aileron on the right wing half. Move the aileron stick to the right. The right aileron should move up and the other aileron should move down. If it does not, flip the servo reversing switch on your transmitter to change the direction. PREFLIGHT CHECK. 180mm. 1) Completely charge your transmitter and receiver batteries before your first day of flying.
