    Please review this entire manual before beginning assembly. By doing so it will help you better understand each step as you progress in the actual building of your kit, and you will do a better job in assembly. Included in this kit: • all laser cut depron parts • balsa ailerons, balsa horizontal sta...

    The uncut depron parts as you will receive them. Begin by carefully cut- ting all the tabs. All the parts once cut out. The edges may be burred. Using 400 grit sand pa- per give all the edges a light sanding. The fuselage section parts shown here. Look carefully at this 4 rows of parts. These parts ...

    Glue the fuselage doublers over the side pieces. Use left over scraps to ensure the parts line up properly by inserting them in the slots. (do not glue the scraps in!) make sure that these parts line up exactly when gluing the doubler very important! Make sure you have a left and right side with the...

    This is how it should look like after sanding both the top and bottom to a taper towards the trailing edge. Use “transparent” scotch tape, (not the “invisible” type) or you can use 3m blenderm tape, com- monly referred to as “hinge tape” tape the top first. Trim any overhanging tape. Then flip up an...

    Remove the part and look carefully as you will see the imprint of the motor mount. Cut out just the one layer (3mm deep) of foam where the imprint was left. Now it will go in just fine and add strength to the motor mount and foam bond- ing area. Now flip the part over again and attach the remaining ...

    Glue the longer 20” carbon flat spar to the back of the center wing panel. Make sure it is centered equally on the left and right of the wing. Use wax paper to keep your fingers clean. Repeat this process for the other side. (in case you don’t get it: it is being glued to the trailing edge of the sm...

    The trailing edge of the wing tips will need sanding. Sand them down to closely match the aileron. The leading edge is blunt as shown here. (you can see the line where the marker on the edges will now act as a guide for you when sanding) with the guide line showing you can be sure to sand a uniform ...

    See here how both sides are bevelled tape the aileron and trim as shown trim both sides and attach to the wing. Flip up the aileron and tape the underside. Now it will stay flipped up like the elevator did. Again using your blade handle or a pen, press down on the hinge edge to help it resist flippi...

    A close up of the lead- ing edge. Notice that the front bottom edge is lifted up from the floor. This is all there is to create the semi- symmetrical airfoil. Your wing and fuselage will not fit perfectly and will seem to be incor- rectly spaced. It’s not. Apply glue into the gaps and seat the wing ...

    Cut a v groove to nicely seat the pushrod tube. Trim the elevator control horn as shown and glue it in the eleva- tor. Insert the pushrod into the inner most hole of the elevator servo arm and then tape down the pushrod inserted in the tube to line up the end that will install on the elevator contro...

    Insert the rudder into the slots both below and above the elevator. It should fit easily. On the top portion, only apply glue to the ends and pinch as shown. Don’t forget to also glue in the rudder in the bot- tom slot. Make sure the rudder is straight! Apply glue the stabilizer as shown. (the reaso...

    And remove it if and when needed by cutting the tape. Now insert your aileron pushrod on your servo arm and line up your control horn. Again make a mark on the pushrod with a sharpie to mark where you will make the z bend. (before doing this make a zig-zag bend in the middle for minor adjustments if...

    A view of the tight installation shown the battery connector showing through the hole. You need to fill this hole and space under the front bottom. Cut scrap piece 3/4” keep the battery away from those sharp screws and prevent the battery from sliding too far forward. Cut more scrap pieces from the ...
