kit. Further, Alien Aircraft Corp. reserves the right to change or modify this warranty without notice. The quality and flyability of your finished
model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your completed model, and no representations are
expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model.
In that Alien Aircraft Corp. has no control over the final assembly or material used for final assembly, no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for

WARNING!!!
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to yourself and others.
Use safety glasses when running the motor. Do not run the motor in an area of loose gravel or sand; the propeller may throw such material in your
face or eyes. Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the plane of rotation of the propeller as you run the motor. Keep these
items away from the prop: loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of
shirt or jacket pockets into the prop. Always remove the LiPo battery from the plane before charging. Always use a charger designed to charge LiPo
batteries for charging the LiPo flight battery. Never leave the LiPo battery unattended while charging. If the battery becomes more than just warm,
discontinue charging.

    Notes about the laser cut parts 1...The first thing that you need to do is to identify and mark the part numbers on the laser cut parts using the drawings on the following pages as a guide. 2...It is possible that several of the laser cut parts may not be completely cut through. If this is the case you can free the part from the sheet quickly using an X-acto knife.

  • Page 6: Building Instructions

    Building Instructions: General Note: Cover the plans with wax paper before assembling your model to prevent the parts from sticking to the plan. Building the Tail Surfaces: 1...Glue R-1 and R-2 together. Sand the outside edges round. Leave the back and fuselage edges square. Glue R-3 and R-4 together.
  • Page 7 5...Lightly tack glue the left fuselage side to the F-4 and F-5 formers. 6...Glue parts F-6A and F-6B together. 7...Glue part F-6 into position on the top of the fuselage between formers F-4 and F-5. Make sure the fuselage is straight and square. 8...Glue the two F-7 servo trays into position on the fuselage sides and against former F-5.
  • Page 8 10...Moisten the outside of the fuselage sides forward of former F-4 with water. Place formers F-8 and F-9 into position and hold the front of the fuselage sides together with a rubber band. Lightly tack glue the formers to the fuselage sides. IMPORTANT...
  • Page 9 15...Place a piece of wax paper on your building board. Place former F-16 on the wax paper. Hold the fuselage vertical on the building board over the former. Make sure that the front edges are flat on the building board. Squeeze the fuselage sides together into the notches in the former.
  • Page 10 19...Pull the rear of the fuselage sides together. Place former F-17 into position. Hold the rear of the fuselage together with a clothes pin. Adjust the back of the fuselage straight and square with the aft end vertical. Glue the former into position and glue the fuselage sides together.
  • Page 11 24...Place F-22 into position on the fuselage top and glue in place. 25...Place formers F-23 and F-24 in place on the top of the fuselage. Make sure that they are centered and 90 degrees to the fuselage top and glue into position. 26...Using 3/32”...
  • Page 12 28...Using 3/32” sq. X 18” balsa strips, cut, fit and glue the stringers to the bottom of the fuselage between formers F-4 and F-16. Trim each stringer on assembly and use the cut off piece for the next stringer. 29...Glue F-25 to the front of F-5. F-25 should be centered on the fuselage with an equal gap on each side where it contacts F-6.
  • Page 13 33...Moisten the outside surfaces of F-27 with water. Gently pull the middle of F-27 into contact with F-26 and glue it to the former. Pull the back end into contact with F-25 and glue in place. Pull the front into contact with F-28 and glue in place. You can wig- gle former F-28 to adjust it so that it matches the angle on the front of F-27, however F-27 will extend slightly past the front of the former.

Use these pieces to sheet the top wing center section. The sheet should be between and flush with the spars, trailing and leading edge.
  • Page 27 101...Sand the the top of the wing smooth. Do not round the leading edge at this time. Draw a line on the top of the wing on the centerline of rib W-5. 102...Glue the W-14 aileron servo mount to W-7 and the main spar. It should be flush with the rib and the spar.
  • Page 28 106...Glue the three W-15’s into positions on the top of the wing. When the glue is dry, cut the sheet from the center of the W-15’s. 107...Repeat steps 84 thru 106 to build the left wing. 108...Cut the wood away between the dashed lines and the spars on ribs W-1 to make a slot for the wing joiner.
  • Page 29 112...Test fit the wing onto the fuselage. Sand the leading edge and trailing edge if required so the wing matches the cutout in the fuselage. NOTE...Run pieces of string thru the wings from the openings in the center section to the servo locations and the motor wire openings. This will allow you to feed the servo and motor wires thru the wing after covering.
  • Page 30 117...Sand the ends, front, top and rear of the aileron flush. 118...Draw a centerline on the front of the aileron. Draw a line 1/8” back from the leading edge on the top and bottom of the aileron. 119...Trim or sand the angles on the leading edge of the aileron from the line on the top to the centerline on the leading edge and from the line on the bottom to the centerline on the leading edge.

  • Page 35 144...Place the right nacelle into position on the right wing. The nacelle should be centered on rib W-5. The line that you drew on the wing in step 101 should show thru the covering slightly. Mark the nacelle location on the cov- ering and carefully cut the covering away from the wing in the areas that the nacelle makes contact with.
  • Page 36 149...Glue the wing tip onto the end of the wing. 150...Repeat steps 143 thru 149 to attach the left nacelle and wing tip to the left wing. 151...Glue the wing joiner into the right wing with 5 minute epoxy.
