ELECTRIC 60-INCH WINGSPAN NEUPORT 17 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Entire contents Copyright 2014 Maxford USA Congratulations on your purchase of Maxford USA’s scale WWI Nieuport 17 ! We invite you to enjoy the pride of ownership and the joy of flying this high quality balsa, composite, and light-ply Almost-Ready-to-Fly aircraft. TABLE OF CONTENTS History of the Nieuport 17 ............ .........................2 Important safety precautions .................................. 2 Parts List ............................................................ 5 Warranty, liability waiver, and return policy ......... 4 Assembly instructions ...................................... 6 Special features of this Nieuport 17 ARF .............. 5 Setup and adjustments .................................... 16 Specifications ......................................................... 5 Preflight checks ............................................. 17 Page 1 of 18 HISTORY The Nieuport 17 was a French biplane fighter aircraft of World War I, manufactured by the Nieuport company. It had outstanding maneuverability, and an excellent rate of climb. Initially, the Nieuport 17 retained the above wing mounted Lewis gun of the "11", but in French service this was soon replaced by a synchronized Vickers gun. In the Royal Flying Corps, the wing mounted Lewis was usually retained, by now on the improved Foster mounting, a curved metal rail which allowed the pilot to bring the gun down in order to change drums or clear jams. A few individual aircraft were fitted with both guns - but in practice this reduced performance unacceptably, and a single machine gun remained standard. The type reached the French front in March 1916, and quickly began to replace the smaller Nieuport 11 and 16 in French service. The type went into service with Escadrille N.57 on May 2, 1916. With the British DH.2 the Nieuports were responsible for ending the reign of the Fokker Eindecker - the so-called 'Fokker scourge' period, proving a severe shock to German aviation high command. -

A servant “is not a slave to his own agenda,” but rather always is prepared for the unexpected and responds, even if that means ignoring the parish schedule, Pope Francis the pope said on May 29 at a Mass for the Jubilee of Deacons in St. Peter’s Square. “It pains my heart when I see a schedule in the parishes—‘from this time to that time’—and then, the door is closed. There is no priest, no deacon, no layperson to welcome the people. This is wrong. Have the courage to ignore the schedule,” he said. Thousands of deacons and their families, braving the increasingly hot and humid Rome weather, attended the final Mass of the three-day Holy Year of Mercy celebration dedicated to the diaconal ministry. -
