- Page 2 Decals Here’s what you’ll need! Abell Hobby Super Gold + Odorless CA, Abell Hobby Insta-Set Accelerator, 1/6” Drill Bit, 5/64” Drill Bit, Hobby Knife, Small piece of 3/16” or 1/4" Brass or Aluminum Tubing, Masking Tape, 3M Hook & Loop (Velcro), Cutting tool to cut Carbon Fiber, 3/32” Allen Wrench, Soldering Iron &...
- Page 3 2) Prepare fuselage for motor mount spars. Locate the front fuselage sides (one left and one right) and the main fuselage. Now glue the motor mount spars into the foam with Abell Hobby Super-Gold + Foam Safe glue as shown making sure to keep the end of each spar flush with the edge of the foam.
- Page 4 4) Hinging rudder to vertical stabilizer. Using the beveling tool carefully sand a 45 degree bevel to each side of the vertical stabilizer as shown above making sure that the point of the bevel is centered and the bevels are the same on both sides. Now lay the fuselage and rudder flat on your work surface and mark the hinge locations as shown below.
- Page 5 Remove the rudder. Position the hinges in the vertical stabilizer so that the hinge just begins to appear in the holes that you bored into the foam. Put two drops of Abell Hobby Super-Gold + Foam Safe glue into each of the bored holes on the vertical stabilizer. Slide the hinges into position making certain that they are aligned properly.
- Page 6 3/16” tube can be used to clean the debris from the groove). Now glue the wing spar into the groove in the wing using the Abell Hobby Super Gold + and Insta Set. Next find the Ailerons and position them with the wings as shown. (Hint; the rear of the wing is...
- Page 7 the ailerons forms a straight line with each wing tip.) It is helpful to mark the bottoms of the wing and ailerons with masking tape so that they don’t get mixed up later. Now bevel the leading edge of each aileron using the beveling tool. Do not bevel the wing! Now mark your hinge locations.
- Page 8 Locate the horizontal stabilizer and two elevator half’s. Bevel the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer with the beveling tool. Mark the bottom of each component with masking tape as shown to avoid confusion later on. Measuring from each end of the horizontal stabilizer mark the center of the hinge locations at ¾”...
- Page 9 Once you are certain that the wing is positioned correctly apply a small amount of Abell Hobby Super Gold + to the points where the front and rear of the wing meet the fuselage and then where the fuselage sides meet the wing and again where the fuselage sides meet the fuselage.
- Page 10 fuselage, wing and stabilizer. (Hint; when final gluing move the fuselage side away from the side of your work surface so that the glue doesn’t wick through the joint and glue your plane to the table) Bore hinge gluing holes into wing and horizontal stabilizer and glue hinges in place and spray with Insta Set.
- Page 11 Use the cut off flat carbon strips for elevator joiners. Glue one strip on the top and one on the bottom. The edge of the carbon fiber strip should be flush with the leading edge of the elevator half’s. 8) SERVO AND CONTROL HORN INSTALATION. Slide the rudder servo into the fuselage as shown.
- Page 12 Next is plotting the position of the aileron servos. First you will need to make a mark on the bottom of the wing 2 ½” away from the fuselage just behind the wings spar. Place a square on the bottom of the wing so that one edge lines up with the aileron hinge line and the other edge lines up with the mark on the bottom of the wing.
- Page 13 Now place the square on the wing so that it lines up with the servo arm and extends over the aileron and draw a 1” line on the aileron starting at the leading edge of the aileron and extending 1” back. Repeat for other side. Now locate the four control horns and drill the two holes with a 1/16”...
- Page 14 Test fit the control horns making sure that the pegs fit into the predrilled holes. Remove the control horns and apply Abell Hobby Super Gold + glue to the area that the control horns will contact and reinstall the control horns. Apply Abell Hobby Super Gold + glue to the control horn clip and push the clip onto the control horn pegs on the opposite side of the ailerons and spray Abell Hobby Insta Set to cure the glue.
- Page 15 9) Motor, Speed Controller & Receiver Installation. Using the center of the motor mount as guide, remove the foam ½” deep into the fuselage center. (Hint; foam can be cut out with a rotary tool, knife or even melted away with a soldering iron) Remove motor mount from fuselage.
- Page 16 Once you are certain that the servo arm is centered and the control surface is centered, apply two drops of Abell Hobby Super Gold + to the pushrod where it enters the clevis and also the point...
- Page 17 Allow the glue to set about a minute so that it can wick into the joint then spray the glue joint with Abell Hobby Insta Set accelerator. Glue the pushrod guides into position (Note; Pushrod guides should be positioned in the center of the rudder and elevator pushrods.
- Page 18 Install your decals as you see fit. It is not necessary to use all of the decals that are provided. Remember, decals are heavy. 11) Final set up. Set all throws for 20 degrees of deflection in both directions for intermediate pilots.
