DISCLAIMER:
THIS IS NOT A TOY.
This is a high-performance miniature aircraft, capable of high speeds and damage to life, limb,
and property. The manufacturer and its distributors and author of this manual cannot control
how you assemble this model, what equipment you use to fit it out, or how you fly it, and can
assume no liability whatsoever for any damages that may occur when you fly your aircraft. By
assembling this model, you are agreeing to indemnify and hold blameless the manufacturer
and/or his agents from any and all torts and liability associated with the use of this product.
Please inspect all parts before beginning assembly. If any part appears to be suspect, contact
your dealer or the manufacturer for repair or replacement BEFORE you begin.
Once you have assembled the aircraft, you are the pilot in command and assume any and all
responsibility for the use of the model and any damages that might occur by flying or attempting
to fly this aircraft.
R/C model jets require a high level of skill in both their assembly and their flying. If you do not
feel confident in either your building or flying skills, PLEASE seek assistance from more
experienced modelers. It is a wise idea, no matter what level of skills you possess, to have a
second experienced modeler go over your installation after assembly. A second set of eyes may
spot a problem you have missed. If you have not flown a model like this before, it is HIGHLY
recommended that you get an experienced turbine pilot to do your maiden flight. Very often, the
first few seconds of a maiden flight are critical until the aircraft is trimmed out, and having an
experienced pilot at the controls can make the difference between a wrecked aircraft and once
that enjoys many hundreds of flights. Be sure to select a suitable field for flying...take the time
to find a large paved runway if at all possible, especially for test flights, until you feel comfortable
getting the aircraft in and out of smaller grass fields.
Note: In the USA it is mandatory that you belong to the Academy of Model Aeronautics and hold
a valid Turbine Waiver, please check the local governing rules for operation of R/C model jets of
your location before flying.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Fei Bao Rafale.
Introduction:
You have chosen a model that represents the pinnacle of ARF technology. While there is not a lot of
building to do, there is enough to keep you busy for a few evenings. Even if you have assembled
other ARF jets, we highly recommend following our assembly sequence and procedures.
It was the intent of the author to arrange the construction sequence of this manual in a sequence that
will allow you to move forward. Please remember that just because the model is almost completely
built it does not mean that you can rush through the assembly. It is this authors recommendation that
all factory installed systems i.e. fuel, retracts, and doors be inspected for any possible defects, loose
parts etc. and all fasteners should be secured with Loctite.
Before you begin:
Keep this in mind as you proceed
Look at EVERY assembly step you finish, and ask yourself:
“Is this going to crash my airplane?”
