The kit of this model is mostly maid of extruded polypropylen (EPP). This material ensures extreme robustness and
durability. Thanks to its handling and manoeuvreing abilities, it is capable of relaxing flight as well as of more
complicated aerobatic manoevres, eventualy air combat.
Thanks to the material used for construction, model will withstand many accidents without any demage. Even if any
occures, the repair is usualy possible immediately at the airfield.
Prefabrication of all parts ensures minimum time needed for assembly. This model is not designated as a beginner
model, therefore there is not every operation depicted and described in this instruction manual. Construction and
finalisation of the model must be adapted to powreplant which is intended to be used as well as to your own habits
and practices.

Model assembly:
We will start by cutting servo hats in the outer wing sections. Make these compartments a bit tighter, so that the
servo would go fast in. In the inner parts, make shallow cuts for servo cables.
Start the wing assembly by cutting slots for plywood wing joints. Cut the same slot into both inner parts. Insert the
joint and glue the center and inner sections together.
Cut slots for carbon reinforcement into outer and inner wing sections. Use a sharp knife, cutting vertically to the
wing surface. Insert the carbon-fiber stripe into the slot and glue it by sparse cyanoacrylate glue. Let the stripe
overtop approxymately 10mm over the wing edge. Glue the wing sections together now. Use polyurethane glue
(inside) and cyanoacrylate glue (periphery zone). Cut slots into ailerons and glue the control cranks into them. Use
cyanoacrylate glue. Use the iron wire for aileron pushrods.
Make the cut for a bowden in the rear part of the fuselage. Glue the elevator bowden into it. Glue together the
cross cutted lower part of fuselage. Do not glue the rear lower part yet, it will be glued later on, after settleing and
glueing the wing.
If necessary, cut a removeable cover in the front upper part of the fuselage. Lock it by plastic screw with female.
Carefully glue rear and center fuselage parts together. Use cyanoacrylate in combination with polyurethane glue.
Adapt the engine mounting according to the used engine. Glue it to the front part of the fuselage using epoxy glue.
Do not forget to make some bleeder holes for engine, batteries and regulator cooling. Glue this unit to the center
part of the fuselage.

  • Page 2 Now, glue the completed wing to the slot in the fuselage. Work carefully, using polyurethane glue. In the center part of horizontal stabilizer, cut a slot for carbon stripe. Glue it by cyanoacrylate glue in here. Now, make up the elevator joint, using iron wire. Glue it in. Now, glue the Horizontal and vertical stabilizers to the fuselage.
