  • Page 2 This is how your kit will arrive When cutting the hardware package open use caution. The contents are Hardware semi-coiled to fit in the box. They will spring open very quickly. You also Carbon want to avoid cutting or losing any of the parts in the bag. Safest method is to slide the carbon out one at a time, leaving the bag coiled.
  • Page 3 A simple and very effective method to prevent epp hinge failure is to glue in fishing line. A shallow slot is cut across hinge line and a piece of fishing line is inserted. Do this at both ends of the hinge and at control horn. It is possible to use many other filaments.
  • Page 4 Notches will help lineup parts. Most builders have a glue preference. Many glues will work well for this. Horizontal nose, midsection, wing panels and elevator assemblies can all be glued up with parts lying flat on build table. Only thing to watch for is to not fill carbon slots with glue.
  • Page 5 Wing carbons are 6mm x 1mm x 35-1/4”in the rear and 6mm x 1mm x 33-7/8” for the front spar. Test fit the carbon after cutting to length, then glue. Aileron counterbalance carbons are 2mm rod 2 3/4” long. Elevator carbon is 6mm x 1mm x 13-1/4”.
  • Page 6 Glue lower side of vertical fuselage to bottom. Foam can be slightly stretched and compressed to fit into notches. Glue a small area at a time while checking for square with square scrap foam supplied with kit. Be sure the assembly lies flat and does not lift off the table anywhere. If it does not lay flat, move the lower fuselage until the plane will lay flat before gluing.
  • Page 7 Carbon can now be added for landing gear legs, (2) 6mm x 1 mm x 9-1/2” long. A notch is provided in front of wing and a slot is precut for intersecting point in vertical fuselage. These are glued into place at notches and intersecting point being sure to pull carbon up away from table to top of slot.
  • Page 8 Start by threading carbon through center of vertical fuselage and then into wing. After getting location established, pull out and add drop of hot glue to each end of carbon. Reinsert while twisting the carbon truss. This will drag glue down into hole with carbon and makes for a strong and clean install.
  • Page 9 Top side of fuselage can now be installed. Same way as bottom being careful to fit snug into slots and squaring with horizontal while gluing. Back will wrap around elevator and meet up with underside.
  • Page 10 Now plane can be turned over on the Prepare for electronics by cutting the workbench to check for level. Gear legs z-bend wire into (8) equal lengths. Also can be shortened until the wing is cut the poly mount tubing into (4) equal parallel with work surface.
  • Page 11 If needed, after gluing on the To mount the motor, start by mounting the poly tubing to the motor, or to mount tubes, trim the X-mount without the motor. the tubes. Clipping Before gluing the tubing to the plane, spread a thin layer of glue around the tubes about that area that the tubes will glue to.
