It was heavily armed with twin synchronized, forward-firing 7.92 mm LMG 08/15 machine guns and powered by a 180 hp Mercedes 6-cylinder inline, water-cooled engine (unusual for the time), and its streamlined radiator, mounted on the top wing, was offset slightly to starboard so that combat damage would not result in scalding water being released over the pilot. The prototype D.III first flew in August 1916 and was quickly recognized for its outstanding maneuverability and rate of climb. Like most fighters, the D.III was prone to spinning. However, its recovery was straightforward, and German aces including Manfred von Richthofen, Ernst Udet,Erich Löwenhardt, Kurt Wolff, and Karl Emil Schäfer credited the D.III as being both pleasant and easy to fly.Specifications:* Wingspan ............................................................................................

The Albatros D.III was a single-seat biplane used by the Imperial German Army Air Service and the Austro-Hungarian Air Service during the First World War. It was heavily armed with twin synchronized, forward-firing 7.92 mm LMG 08/15 machine guns and powered by a 180 hp Mercedes 6-cylinder inline, water-cooled engine (unusual for the time), and its streamlined radiator, mounted on the top wing, was offset slightly to starboard so that combat damage would not result in scalding water being released over the pilot. The prototype D.III first flew in August 1916 and was quickly recognized for its outstanding maneuverability and rate of climb. Like most fighters, the D.III was prone to spinning. However, its recovery was straightforward, and German aces including Manfred von Richthofen, Ernst Udet, Erich Löwenhardt, Kurt Wolff, and Karl Emil Schäfer credited the D.III as being both pleasant and easy to fly. Nearly all pilots of the time used unique combinations of colors and markings to identify their individual aircraft, as illustrated by the aircraft pictured below, circa 1917: Because of the D.III’s V-shaped interplane struts, pilots of the British Royal Flying Corps often referred to the D.III as the "V-strutter" and they accorded it a very high level of respect, especially after their horrific losses during “Bloody April” of 1917 to the superior Albatros D.III fighters. More than 1,800 Albatros D.IIIs were built between 1916 and 1918, and Albatros D.IIIs continued to be successfully deployed throughout the balance of war, even after such newer fighters as those pictured below were introduced: Albatros D.V Fokker Dr.I Fokker D.VII Enjoy the pride of ownership and of flying this high-quality model of the famous Albatros D.III!

ALBATROS D.III ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Step 1: Install the power system. 1. Remove and set aside the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert the vertical oil-line into the hole at the front-top of the fuselage as you insert the in-line dummy 6 cylinder engine fully down into its opening. Attach the dummy engine with one screw through the pre-drilled hole in the battery compartment floor, and secure the engine with a drop of CA adhesive where the cylinders’ mounting base touches the fuselage cross members. 3. Mount the motor from inside the firewall, then connect the ESC’s 3 wires to the motor’s 3 wires in any, arbitrary order. (AT THIS TIME DO NOT CONNECT THE ESC TO THE BATTERY; ALSO, DO NOT ATTACH A PROPELLER TO THE MOTOR.) Use double-sided foam tape to attach the ESC to the fuselage cross members behind the motor. (Leave space between the motor and ESC to ensure the back of the motor does not touch the ESC.) Step 2: Mount the tail group, machine guns & windshield. 4. Insert the control horns into the pre-cut slots in the bottom of the elevator and the left side of the rudder, and secure each control horn with a drop or two of CA adhesive. 5. Remove masking tape from both pushrods inside the battery compartment. Pull the elevator (lower) pushrod out from the rear of the fuselage not more than 6 inches, and twist and turn the horizontal stab. with its prehinged elevator to attach the elevator’s control horn onto the Z-bend in the elevator’s pushrod. Insert the horizontal stabalizer into its mating horizontal slot at the rear of the fuselage and slide the horiz. stab. forward within the slot until the elevator’s hinge line just meets the tail end of the fuselage. Page 6 of 11 pages 6. Look down into the vertical stabalizer’s mounting slot at the top-rear of the fuselage and carefully position the horiz. stab. so its two small rectangular openings are aligned with the two same-sized openings in the fuselage’s horizontal cross member. Once these slots are perfectly aligned, secure the horizontal stab. to the fuselage’s cross member by applying a few drops of CA adhesive into each set of two slots. 7. Pull the rudder (upper) pushrod out from the rear of the fuselage not more than 6 inches, lay the vertical stab. with its pre-hinged rudder on its right side, and twist and turn the vertical stab. with its prehinged rudder to attach the rudder’s control horn onto the Z-bend in the rudder’s pushrod. Place the vertical stab. vertically above its mounting slot at the top rear of the fuselage and mix and apply a coat of 5-minute epoxy to all surfaces of each of the two wooden tabs projecting from the base of the vertical stab. Lower and insert the vertical stabalizer’s wooden tabs into the slots in the horiz. stab. and fuselage cross member. Adjust the vertical stabalizer’s position to ensure there is no friction between the bottom of the rudder and the top of the fuselage, then use alcohol to clean any excess 5-min. epoxy from the top of the fuselage, the vertical stabalizer, and rudder. Allow 15 minutes for the epoxy to cure. 8. Mix and apply a coat of 5-minute epoxy to all sides of the tab that projects from the top of the pre-assembled tail skid assembly. Insert the tail skid’s tab into the slot under the horiz. stab.in the fuselage. Ensure the tail skid assembly is perpendicular to the horiz. stab. and clean any excess 5-min. epoxy from the tail skid and fuselage. Allow 15 minutes for the epoxy to cure. 9. Position the 2 machine guns into the slots on their mounting base and secure them with a few drops of CA adhesive. As shown below, insert the tab on the machine-gun mounting base into the pre-cut slot in front of the cockpit in the top of the fuselage, and secure it to the fuselage with a few drops of CA adhesive. Insert the windshield’s tabs into the pre-cut slots in the top of the fuselage behind the machine guns, and secure the windshield to the fuselage with windshield adhesive or a minimal application of CA adhesive. Page 7 of 11 pages Step 3: Ailerons and wings. 10. On the starboard (right) upper wing, remove 4 screws and lift out the right upper wing’s servo mounting hatch-plate. Use the predrilled servo mounting holes in the servo mounting hatch-plate and hardware supplied by the servo manufacturer to install a Maxford USA SG-90 or equivelant mini-servo. 11. Remove 4 small radiator-mounting screws (one at each corner of the lower radiator panel) to expose a rectangular hole in the wing’s covering material. 12. Connect one(1) 12-inch servo-wire extension to each of the two(2) female connectors on a Y-cable. Insert the female connector from one extension cable through the opening in the wing’s center rib, guide it into the opening for the aileron servo (right servo well), and connect it to the aileron servo. (Note: To guide the servo extensions into the servo wells through both the left and right upper wing panels, you may use the preinstalled string to PULL the servo-wire extension through the wing and into the servo well; however, you might find it easier to use masking tape to temporarily attach the extension’s female connector to the end of a length of straight coat hanger or heavier wire, and use the wire to PUSH the extension’s connector through the wing and into the servo well.) 13. Guide the Y-cable’s central wire joint and its male connector into the wing through the opening in the right upper wing’s center rib. Use a pair of long-nosed pliers to reach into the opening and pull the Y-cable’s male connector out of the wing through the rectangular opening. Dress the excess servo wire to fit inside the servo well, and re install the right upper wing’s servo mounting hatch-plate (with attached aileron servo) using 4 screws. 14. Insert a control horn into the precut slot in the right aileron and secure by applying a drop or two of CA adhesive. Insert an aileron control rod’s Z-bend into the aileron control horn. Use a small piece of masking tape to temporarily secure the aileron in neutral alignment with the wing. Insert the Z-bend of a short pushrod into a hole in the aileron servo’s arm. Slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing over the aileron pushrod and over the short pushrod, so both these pushrods are captured inside the heat-shrink tubing. 15. Carefully apply the heat for a few seconds from an electric soldering iron or a woodburning tool along the entire length of the heat-shrink tubing. (Note: Be careful to shrink but not burn the tubing; Be careful to NOT heat the wing’s covering material nor the loosely hanging interplane guy wires!) Use a pair of side-cutting or diagonal cutting pliers to trim the aileron pushrod’s excess length. Remove the masking tape that was appied to hold the aileron in neutral alignment with the wing. 16. On the left upper wing, remove 4 screws and lift out the servo mounting hatch-plate. Use the predrilled servo mounting holes in the servo mounting hatch- plate and hardware supplied by the servo manufacturer to install a Maxford USA SG-90 or equivelant mini-servo. 17. Insert the remaining/dangling female connector from the extension through the opening in the left upper wing’s center rib. Follow the instructions in the ‘Note’ in step 12 to guide the extension through the wing and into the left servo well. Connect the extension to the aileron servo. Dress the excess servo wire inside the servo well and re-install the left upper wing’s servo mounting hatch-plate (with attached aileron servo) using 4 screws. 18. Per the instructions in steps 14 and 15: Insert a control horn into the precut slot in the left aileron and secure by applying a drop or two of CA adhesive; insert an aileron control rod’s Z-bend into the aileron control horn; temporarily secure the aileron in neutral alignment; insert the Z-bend of a short pushrod into a hole in the aileron servo’s arm, insert a piece of heat-shrink tubing over the aileron pushrod and the short pushrod; shrink the tubing; trim the aileron pushrod’s excess length; and remove the masking tape from the left aileron and wing. Page 8 of 11 pages 19. Insert the Y-cable’s male connector through the rectangular opening in the bottom of the radiator, and return the radiator to its original position with 4 screws. Using black tape, wrap the exposed portion of the Y-connector’s wire. (The Y-connector’s wire should be black from where it exits the radiator to where it terminates at its male connector.) 20. Using the two largest carbon fiber rods, slide the two upper wing panels together. Place the upper wing assembly bottom-side-up, and lower the fuselage toward the upper wing as you fit the center cabane struts fully into the matching openings on the fuselage. (The cabane struts fit snugly, so they must be pressed firmly, all the way into the angled openings on both sides of the fuselage.) 21. Insert the two smaller carbon fiber rods into one of the two lower wing panels, then insert that wing panel into its matching fuselage opening so that the carbon rods project out the other side of the fuleslage. Guide the projecting carbon fiber rods into the openings on the opposite lower wing panel, and slide the two lower wing panels together inside the fuselage. Secure the lower wing to the fuselage by snugging (do not over tighten) two black machine screws into the blind nuts that are pre-installed inside the fuselage. 22. Attach the remaining, third 12-inch servo extension’s female connector to the male end of the Y-cable hanging from the radiator. Route the male end of the extension into the fuselage through the round hole located between the engine and the machine guns. Pull the connection of the Y-connector and extension cable far enough into the fuselage so only the Y-cable’s black wire is visible between the radiator and the fuselage. (This black wire now simulates one of two “water pipes” between the dummy radiator and engine.) 23. Using the adjacent radiator hole, install a black plastic tube (with wire inside to give it shape) between the radiator and the opening in the front of the dummy engine. (This black tube now simulates the second “water pipe” between the radiator and the engine.) 24. Anchor and tighten the prestrung guy wires by inserting one screw into the attachment point on each side of the fuselage … (Attachment point for the black plastic tube at the front of the dummy engine.) Page 9 of 11 pages Step 4: Rudder & elevator servos, landing gear, cabane struts, receiver, spinner & final adjustments. 25. Install the elevator and rudder servos using their precut slots, the predrilled mounting-screw holes, and the hardware supplied by the servo manufacturer. Connect the elevator and rudder pushrods to the servo arms using Du-Bro Heavy Duty E/Z connectors or equivelant. 26. Attach the preassembled landing gear by inserting its two bent wires into the precut holes on either side of the battery hatch. Secure the landing gear’s rear cross member to the fuselage behind the lower wing by installing two(2) pre shaped metal straps and inserting 4 screws through each metal strap into the predrilled holes in the fuselage. Secure these eight(8) landing-gear screws with a drop of CA adhesive applied to each. Add a drop of light machine oil to each of the shock absorbers. Check the wheel collets to ensure that each wheel is secure on its axle. 27. Tighten all 10 of the machine-screw-and-nut assemblies anchoring the cabane struts to the wings. Ensure these connectors will not come loose by adding a drop of Locktite (or CA adhesive) to each. 28. Install your radio receiver within or behind the battery compartment. (For example, a micro-sized receiver may be mounted on top of the speed control with double-sided foam tape IF your ESC and motor do not produce excessive RF-noise and IF you are careful to ensure there is enough space between the motor, ESC and receiver so the motor does not rub against the ESC and/or the receiver.) Page 10 of 11 pages 29. Charge and install your Li-Po battery. Check/adjust servo centering, direction, end-point adjustments and propeller rotation direction. Once the ailerons have been adjusted and checked to their centered/neutral positions, secure them by applying a drop of CA adhesive into the heat-shrink tubing at each end of the aileron pushrods. If the motor runs backwards, switch any 2 of the 3 ESC to motor connections. Please review your radio’s instruction manual if you require assistance with any radio-related servo-adjustment questions. 30. Use the prop. nut and related hardware supplied with your motor to mount your propeller onto the backplate of the Albatros D.III’s special, large-size spinner; then, securely tighten this propeller-backplate assembly onto the motor’s shaft, as shown below. Attach the red dome-shaped spinner to the propeller-backplate assembly by inserting (but not over-tightening) 4 screws into the pre-installed nuts on the backplate. 31. Close the battery compartment cover and check the model’s center of gravity (CG). If necessary, try moving the ESC, receiver, and/or battery, or add weight to the nose or tail, to ensure the CG is 3 to 3¼ inches behind the leading edge of the upper wing. 32. Recommended setups and final adjustments before flying … Aileron and elevator control throws with a Computer Radio: Set linkages for max. possible deflections and soften the aileron’s and elevator’s control throws by selecting 60% (or more) exponential, and 30% for the rudder. Non-Computer Radio: Low rates High rates Ailerons …….. + ½ inch ………. + 1 inch Elevator …….. + ¾ inch ………. + 1 inch Rudder ……… + ¾ inch ………. + 1 inch Trim adjustments: You will probably discover that the ailerons & rudder require no adjustments (they will remain centered, as assembled); however, the elevator will likely need some down trim (up to ¼ inch) due to this model’s hi-lift, undercamber wings and throttle/speed settings chosen by the pilot. Congratulations, assembly is finished! Final pre-flight checks at the field: 1. Double-check that all screws and connections are secure, but do not overtighten the lower wing bolts (step 21). 2. Double-check the control directions of the ailerons, elevator and rudder (i.e., pull the right stick toward you and the elevator should deflect upwards; push the right stick to the left and the left aileron should deflect upwards and the right aileron should deflect downwards; push the left stick right and the rudder should deflect to the right as viewed from the rear of the fuselage). 3. Check the airplane’s CG and, if necessary, try moving the ESC, receiver, or battery, or add weight to the nose or tail, to ensure the CG is 3 to 3¼ inches behind the leading edge of the upper wing. 4. As with all radio-controlled model airplanes, this model must pass the radio range ground check recommended by your radio’s manufacturer, or you may not safely fly. 5. When you are ready to fly, always be in the habit of moving your transmitter’s throttle and its trim control to minimum, turn on the transmitter; then, connect the airplane’s battery to the ESC. REMEMBER: A ROTATING PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS! Page 11 of 11 pages REMINDER: AN IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS! • ALWAYS SWITCH THE TRANSMITTER ON (WITH ITS THROTTLE & TRIM ALL THE WAY DOWN) BEFORE CONNECTING THE BATTERY TO THE ESC, AND ALWAYS RETURN THE THROTTLE TO MINIMUM AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FROM THE ESC BEFORE SWITCHING THE TRANSMITTER OFF. • HANDLE THE MODEL WITH EXTREME CARE WHENEVER THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED TO THE ESC. • STAY CLEAR OF THE PROPELLER AND THE PROPELLER’S ARC. This product is NOT just a toy. Any testing or flying of this model airplane is done entirely at your own risk.
