SR X250 Assembly Instructions Manual

X250
Introduction
You are in for a real treat. You're going to find that your new
X250 is one of the fastest building and best flying aircraft you've ever
owned. Nothing has been taken for granted. If you follow our
instructions, you'll be amazed at how fast you'll have your X250 in
the air.
We've photographed just about every step in completing the
X250. The notes that accompany each photograph will give you a
"heads up" about any tricks or possible problems you could run into
while completing that particular step. Please read the instructions!
We used thin, fast setting, CA glue in assembling all of the X250
prototypes. If we recommend a different glue for a particular step,
we'll mention it in the notes.
Although any small radio system can be used, we've specifically
set up the X250 for the very popular Hitec HS-60 servos and the
Hitec "555" or "Super Slim" Series sub micro receivers. These servos
and receivers will work with any brand of transmitter and we strongly
recommend them. If you can't find them locally, we always keep
them in stock at SR.
Finally, you'll find that a 5/64" Ball Driver and a Higley
Trimmer will really speed things up. Both are available from SR if
you don't already have them.
On the following
specifications and power system recommendations.
Preparing the parts...
We've included a master parts sheet that identifies each part in
the kit and tells you where the part is located. We've deliberately left
all of the MicroLaser Cut parts for the X250 in their sheets to protect
them. Use your modeler's knife and a straight edge to finish the cuts
and release the parts. Just about all of the cuts will be with the grain
to make it easier for you. You can either cut out all of the parts before
you begin or leave them in their sheets until you're ready fo r them.
It's up to you, but you'll be less likely to lose a part if you leave it in
its sheet until you're ready for it.
In most cases, the SR MicroLaser Cut process leaves the balsa
parts with a honey colored edge that needs no sanding. Unfortunately,
the glues used in making plywood tend to glaze the edges of the
plywood parts when they are laser cut. We use a special plywood that
is designed for laser cutting, but we recommend that all plywood
parts be lightly sanded along their edges before gluing the part in
place. In addition, like spruce, plywood parts tend to have an oily film
on their surfaces which prevents CA glues from taking a good hold.
For this reason, we recommend that all plywood parts be given a light
sanding on all surfaces before you glue them in place.
