Assembly

Please read the following instructions carefully before you
start to built the Mach 3.
Attention: Take your time to read the instructions for the glue
used for the construction of your new flight object:
Cyanoacrylate glue
This glue needs to be kept away from children. No contact
should be allowed for children. It works in seconds and
glues skin and eyes. After eye-contact please rinse carefully
and see a doctor immediately. Do not use with Styrofoam
parts.
UHU-Por
This is a contact type glue. Cover both surfaces meant to be
glued together as thinly as possible with the glue and leave
to try 10-60 minutes before carefully joining the surfaces
together.

Building the fuselage

Tip
Mark the aluminium boom (acc. to the picture) in distances
of 90 mm and 275 mm from the tip of the boom for adhering
the chassis at this places later on.
Roughen the boom where the chassis is going to be affixed
to the boom and fix the chassis-wire with CA Glue.
Now wind the carbon fibre firmly around the chassis and the
boom. Afterwards moisten the material with CA Glue and let
it become hard.
