Fuselage Material High quality carbon fiber, Polyamid Wing load: 30 – 50 g/dm² Center of gravity 132mm (see chapter 7.3) 4 Tools • Cutter • Wide transparent scotch tape • Superglue • Side cutter or metal saw FLUX - Manual 7/25... -
Page 8: Wing Assembly
Put the rods in the corresponding slots on the left & right wing. Make sure, that the carbon rods are inserted fully and lay flat on the bottom of the slot. Glue them in place using superglue. The Superglue drys a bit slower inside the slots. Activator shortens the time a bit. FLUX - Manual 8/25... -
Page 9: Balsa Elevons
Put the wing bottom up and bring the elevon to the wing. Hold the elevon in full top deflection. Now press the overlapping tape gently onto the wing. Start in the middle and work your way to both ends. After the tape is in place press it firmly onto the wing. FLUX - Manual 9/25... - Page 10 For the hinge to have its full strength the tapes have to touch each other! Fold the elevon back and check if it can be easily moved and has little play. FLUX - Manual 10/25...

Page 11: Rudder Horns
Take the second ball linkage and attach it to the rudder horn. Attach the servo arm to the servo. Make sure the servo is in center position and the servo arm points straight up. Secure the servo arm with a screw. Put the servo in place (Don’t glue it in yet!). FLUX - Manual 11/25... - Page 12 Or you could use hot glue. Apply the hot glue to the servo, not to the foam. Then push the servo in position. Press the servo cable into the slot and cover servo cable and servo with tape. FLUX - Manual 12/25...

Page 13: Winglets
Take care to not snap the screws or the winglet. To detach the winglet, hold the winglet and unscrew the screws a bit. You can pull the screw out after a bit of unscrewing. FLUX - Manual 13/25... -
Page 14: Taping And Finish
This will strengthen the wing against damage during crashes. If you like, you can also cover the slots for the carbon rods on the bottom side. You can add the decals now. FLUX - Manual 14/25... -
Page 15: Fuselage Assembly
Screw the spacer bolts with the M3 screws into one of the main plates. Use the default positions as shown in the picture. This will later become the top plate where all the components will be attached. FLUX - Manual 15/25... -
Page 16: Component Installation / Servo Extension Cables
If the connection is too strong, it puts a lot of strain on the cable. Use sandpaper or a file on your servo connector if the connection is too strong. FLUX - Manual 16/25... -
Page 17: Camera Mount
Put the camera mounts and the camera shield into the slots of one of the main plates, to check which hole you need to use to make the lens flush with the camera shield. You can fine tune the distance by flipping the camera mounts. Screw both camera mount to your camera. FLUX - Manual 17/25... -
Page 18: Motor
Screw the motor to the motor mount as shown in the picture below. The screw length fits all the usual motors. If you don't want to use the spacer, make sure that the screws don't touch and damage the motor windings. FLUX - Manual 18/25... -
Page 19: Wing Mounts
Take care, that the openings on both wing mounts point to the back. If the Center of Gravity (CG) needs to be changed later the wing mounts can be moved one hole to the front or back. FLUX - Manual 19/25... -
Page 20: Fuselage Finish
Put camera shield and camera & camera mounts into the slots in the front. Screw in the remaining screws. The fuselage is now ready! FLUX - Manual 20/25... -
Page 21: Flying
Make sure you tighten it firmly. Attach the other half of the wing. Check if the wings are correctly secured by holding each half of the wing with a hand and try to pull them out of the wing mount. You should not be able to move them. FLUX - Manual 21/25... -
Page 22: Control Surface
Initial rudder deflection: 1mm up (For maiden flight. Trim for level flight later) Max. rudder deflection: (In either direction, measured from the initial deflection) Elevator deflection reduction: Elevator expo Aileron expo Aileron differential FLUX - Manual 22/25... -
Page 23: Center Of Gravity
CG, move the plates forward. If your fingers are behind the CG, move the plates backwards. Put everything back together and measure again. If your fingers are less then 1cm away from the CG: Move the batteries to adjust the CG. FLUX - Manual 23/25... -
Page 24: Maiden Flight
Climb to a safe height and reduce throttle. Trim your controls so that the plane flies straight and level. Test the CG position by climbing to a safe height. Then go into a steep dive and cut throttle. Release the elevator and check what the plane does. FLUX - Manual 24/25... - Page 25 Land and adjust CG until the test shows the CG position is correct.
