More Specific Instructions- What You Should Know

Specific Instructions for the Tail Assembly: What the manual Does Not Show& Tell- There are 3 Z Bend rods that come with the plane.  CHECK BOX if you only have 2 as one may have fallen out of the packing and may be hidden under the box folds inside.  So now you have 3 Z Bend wires and a tube guide on the left and right side of the fusalodge.  The instructions and pictures do not show you where the 3rd rod goes.  There is a small opening in the center of the fusalodge to accomodate this rod.  It connect the tail rudder flaps to move them UP and DOWN.  The other 2 rods connect the tail fin Left and Right movement (Yaw).

After much frustration and confusion trying to get this step finished, it was obvious the Z bend rod connecting the rudder was incorrect as there was no way that connecting from the left or right was going to work.  I checked the box one last time and sure enough there was a 3rd Z Bend rod/wire which inspired me to look for an opening in the center of the fusalodge and properly connect the rudder or tail fin or whatever you call it.

So, on to flying.  My son was afraid that taking off from the road may result in hitting a house so we opted for the old hand launch technique and it went up and straight down.  Crash!!  No worries though, we had a spare prop.  2nd attempt, Crash and Smash!!  I just ordered a replacement fusalodge and prop and landing gear.  I think we're up to $300 for 99% styrofoam.

My suggestion is to attempt takeoff from the ground and practice straight flying at low altitude and landing.  Once you get the hang of that then take her out for a fly.

My suggestion to Flyzone- more detaild instructions with pictures for the totally clueless AND  a parts list WiTH PICTURES for the screws to match the correct screw size for each assembly step.  I don't have a micrometer to measure these little guys!

Read the instructions very carefully! Follow each and every step as this is a little more complicated to install.

How about a little one pager on how exactly this is supposed to be used?  No instructions whatsoever.  I think I have it figured out ok - guess we'll see if it holds together over the next little while.

Before purchasing I noticed complaints about the instructions. I found the instructions to be fine (good actually). The problem was there are three sets of instructions; "main" install instructions, hinge attachment instructions, and instructions for installing the latch.  These all overlap a bit but the details are clear enough to know what they are asking.  One tricky part was a lot of the examples (and the pieces) are based on fastening to square tubing.  So, if you're fastening to round tubing some of the illustrations won't apply and some of the screws need to be installed with care since it is not resting on a 90 degree surface.

My latch listed contents of 12 screws and two keys. What I actually got was 6 screws and 1 key. Ill be able to buy missing screws but not in the same color.

If you're adding this to an existing fence system I wouldnt rely on the light lean instructions. Gauge how much tension you think you need for the rest of your fence to pull tight.

Im an engineer, so I like things to be square and plumb, but there are plenty of adjustments you can make to ensure this thing opens and latches if you're not real handy.

I already had.a 14 masonry bit but couldn't get to the depth without using a 16. I did buy the guide but if you're handy you could jig something up and save the $60 for something you use once. Maybe I should have looked for a used one.

I would have given this four stars if all the parts were included.
Good luck.

you get what you see, but the instructions sucks! i had to spend some time on youtube to get more info. i would recommend In the Swim to post a video on amazon product description and it will go a long way.

Set up is key. You have to know what you're doing with a bit like this!

The install instruction need clarity, some valuable details are missing from the instructions

Wasn't sure what to expect when ordering this, haven't used yet, partially due to more involved instructions than expected and time it takes to work with

Looks great once you figure out the instructions.

Instructions not the greatest but found additional information online.  Installed, works great.

Works great but wish it had come with directions or some kind of insructions. At least a "what not to do?"

Needs instructions or links to videos included - results were great

works perfectly.  Instructions are a little vague for some applications.

Description states it includes "detailed instructions".  See pic...this is how it arrived.  I can't comment on the fit or how it works yet because I have to figure out how to install it!

This came in quite handy and was so much more explanatory than the little bit of instructions that came with the product.  We did have some problems as it kept referring us to a 'device' .  Being computer novices we ended up back at the store speaking with someone else about it.  I did enjoy the additional information contained in this though.

Excellent instructions.  Be very careful when flipping over, small dust can latch on before flipping back.

Nice product.  Maybe throw some instructions in the package. Or maybe a link to some online instructions.
