SPECIFICATIONS:
Thank you for purchasing the Avios BushMule V2, the ultimate utilitarian RC model airplane.
The BushMule has been designed as an all-purpose, all terrain Short Take Off & Landing
(STOL) machine. Prepare your bush landing strips, snow fields and water runways for this
exciting workhorse of the sky. The Avios BushMule V2 is ready to take whatever you can throw
at it. It is designed to perform many tasks,and takes everything in its stride, rough runways,
water, snow, dropping cargo and FPV flying, the adventure starts today. The BushMule V2 is
powered by two powerful brushless outrunner motors with reversing ESCs, these combine to
create a solid, stable platform for all aspects of RC flight.
Being the V2, this version has the following upgrades:
• Upgraded servo connection for the steerable nose-wheel
• Re-positioned main landing gear, it has been moved further back
• Brass threads in the wing mounts
• Upgraded propellers and spinners from the popular Avios Albatross
• New color scheme

ASSEMBLY:
1. Vertical and Horizontal Tail Surfaces
1. Flex all control surfaces (Elevator and rudder) to loosen the hinge joint.
2. Attach the horizontal stabilizer, and then insert the vertical stabilizer. Slot the front in first then
push home the rear of the vertical stabilizer, make sure this is a secure firm fit. Use two 2mm x
45mm self-tapping screws to mount the tail surfaces to the rear of the fuselage.
3. If you have no need to remove these parts or if you are going to push the BushMule to its
extreme flight envelope, the Avios team suggests that you apply either foam safe contact
adhesive or a long set time 2-part epoxy on these tail surfaces.
4. Use a Servo tester to center your elevator and rudder servos, then adjust the clevises until you
have a level and zeroed control service. (Hint: Placing some fuel tube or a small zip tie over
the clevis will stop it opening, very good for security and peace of mind.)
2. Landing Gear
1. Insert the landing gear leg into the front mounting bracket. Centre the nose wheel and tighten
the 1.5mm grub screw. (Use a thread lock and make sure the grub screw tightens onto the flat
part of the shaft). The V2 has upgraded servo connection components.
2. Centre the nose wheel steering servo with a servo tester and attach the control rod from the
servo arm to the connecting arm of the nose gear shaft.
3. Attach the main landing gear (re-positioned on the V2), simply insert the pre-bent wire of the
landing gear into the slot in the center of the fuselage. Use the two mounting brackets and the
four 2mm x 13mm self-tapping screws to secure the main gear.

3. Installation of main wing
1. The main wing center piece houses the motors, ESC’s, flaps, flap servos and main wiring
harness.
2. Please center all servos, and flex the ailerons on the outer wing panels.
3. Connect all control rods to the control horns with the supplied hardware to the flaps and ailerons.
4. Label the wiring harness and bundle them together to keep the wiring harness from getting
caught between the main center wing and fuselage.
5. Use the two M4 x 55mm main wing machine screws to secure the main center wing section to
the fuselage (with the V2 these will be screwing into brass threads).
6. Slide the two square machined aluminum wing spars into the main wing section, attach the servo
extension leads to power your lights and ailerons.
7. Once the outer wing panels are fully home on the center section, use the four 2mm x 15mm
selftapping screws to fasten the outer wing sections to the main center wing section.
8. Attach the wing strut support with the 4 supplied split pins. Please check the wing at this point to
make sure the dihedral angle is the same for both outer wing sections.

4. Electronic avionics set up
1. The BushMule V2 ideally uses a 6 channel receiver as a minimum to get the best from the
model. Bind your chosen receiver to your transmitter, and plug in all the servos to the corre-
sponding channels.
2. These controls consists of the Throttle, Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder, Flaps and Cargo Door.
3. Plug your 4S LiPo flight battery into the XT-60 battery connector that powers up your BushMule
V2.
4. Check the rotation of the out-runner motors, they should both spin in opposite directions, and
both should rotate inwards towards the fuselage.
5. Check all your control services and make sure they are all operating the correct way without any
binding issues. Adjust mechanically the length of the servo push-rods to center all the control
surfaces.
5. Control Set-up
1. The Avios BushMule V2 handles extremely well, is very maneuverable through all ranges of the
flight envelope. In saying this, your Avios BushMule V2 needs setting up before your initial maiden
flight. After the first flight, then you can adjust the control surfaces to suit your own preferences.

Basic assembly of your BushMule V2 is complete.
Now perform a final check on all screws, bolts and components,
ensuring all are secure and firmly in place.
