Join The Wing; Assemble The Fuselage; Install The Tail Section - Hobbico UPSTAR Manual

JOIN THE WING

❏
1. Test fit the wing together using the wing joiners. Be
sure that the joiners fit into each joiner pocket properly. Trim
or sand the joiners lightly as necessary so that the joiners
can slide halfway into their mating pockets.
❏
2. When satisfied with their fit, use 30-minute epoxy
to glue the three wing pieces together. Coat one half of
each wing joiner on all sides and insert them into the
wing center section. Cover the mating wing ribs with
epoxy and the other ends of the wing joiners. Slide the
wing pieces together snugly. Wipe away any excess
epoxy with alcohol and use masking tape to secure
them together while the epoxy cures. If necessary, use
small clamps to align the trailing edges. We suggest
gluing only one wing section at a time.

ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE

INSTALL THE TAIL SECTION

❏
1. Use a hobby knife or drill to open the upper right
and lower left pushrod exit holes on the fuselage to
approximately 1/8" [3.2mm].
❏
2. Slide the pre-installed vertical fin bolts through the
holes in the horizontal stabilizer.

3. Attach the tail to the fuselage by pushing the bolts
through the pre-drilled holes. Secure each bolt with a 2mm
flat washer and two 2mm nuts. Tighten the second nut on
each bolt firmly against the first, to lock it in place.
