  • Page 2 Triple geniale 3-fach Modell speed r.e.s. thermic Triple allows you to use different wing designs with the same fuselage. The wings of the Triple series are exchangeable and be employed to match the weather and your requirements. This manuall covers the construction of the fuselage (sailplane and E versions) and three different wings. Please note that not all of the sections in this manual are relevant for your model.
  • Page 3 Section I - Fuselage This section is dedicated to the fuselage construction of the E-powered version. Whenever different parts or tequnices are required for building the sailplane fuselage, a special note will guide you to the corresponding section and building step. The fuselage sides are made up of a R-02 front (R-01, light ply) and a rear part...
  • Page 4 R-10 For sailplane version see section 4 S. Glue in place formers R-10, R-11 E and R-12 E. Make sure fuselage sides are absolutely symmetrical. R-11 E R-13 For the E-version use a 240 mm long piece of triangular to cut four pieces of R-13 (10 x 10 x 60 mm) to length and glue into corners of fuselage sides.
  • Page 5 To the inside of fuselage sides and to the back of rear cockpit former glue magnet supports R-19. Centre R-19 over 8 mm holes for the retaining magnets used for wings and cabin. R-27 R-19 Epoxy in place wing joiner sleeves R-26 and R-27 and sand flush with fuselage sides.
  • Page 6 For sailplane version see section 41 S. R-29 Assemble and glue cabin from side panels R-20, formers R-21 and R-22 E as well as 1.5 mm balsa sheeting R-29. For best results this is done directly in the cockpit R-21 opening of the fuselage which is protected by cling film.
  • Page 7 For sailplane version see sections 14 S and 15 S. Glue former R-30 E to the front of the fuselage. R-30 needs to be exactly centred on fuselage. Any surplus material will be sanded off later so that different spinner sizes can be fitted to the model. Tip: If you already have the motor you want to use, attach motor to former, wrap a few layers of paper around its drum and slide it into the fulselage for proper position of former R-30 E.
  • Page 8 Section II - Sailplane Version Refer to section I for construction of the sailplane version of the fuselage. Section II explains only those building steps and parts that differ from the E version. Assemble horizontal formers R-03.1 to R-03.3 R-04 S with former R-04 S and formers R-05 to R-09 and insert in notches in fuselage side.
  • Page 9 11 S Assemble and glue cabin from side panels R-20, formers R-21 and R-22 S as well as 1.5 mm balsa sheeting R-29. For best results this is done directly in the cockpit opening of the fuselage which is protected by cling film. R-21 Note: Magnet support R-23 and magnets are glued in place after cabin has been thoroughly...
