Summary of Contents for Alien Aircraft Super Dragon AG-501

  • Page 1 Super Dragon Glow Conversion Kit # AG-501 Kit Contents: Wood Bag: Qty..Name ........Description 1 .
  • Page 2 Page 2...
  • Page 3 Building Instructions: Building the Glow powered version of the Super Dragon is almost identical to building the electric powered version. The main difference between the models is the motor pylon. As such, you should follow the regular instruction man- ual to build the model up to step 125 with the following exceptions: Step 21...You do not need to glue Velcro to the battery tray.
  • Page 4 4...Glue GP-01 and GP-04 to the pylon assembly. 5..Glue the 1/4” triangle into the corner of GP-01 and GP-03. Use clear polyurethane or clear dope to fuel proof the inside of the pylon. You do not need to use enough to get a nice finish on the wood. A thin application allowed to soak into the wood will be fine.
  • Page 5 8...Glue 3/32” balsa sheet to the outside of the pylon. Moisten the outside of the sheet with an ammonia based glass cleaner like Windex to soften the wood and allow it to bend around the curves better. You can use C/A glue for this step. When the glue is dry, trim the sheet flush with the front, back and bottom of the pylon.
  • Page 6 12...Sand the block round. Sand the pylon smooth all over. 13...Glue the GP-06’s to each side of GP-05. When the glue is dry, sand the front & back edges round. Do not sand the top & bottom. 14...Securely glue GP-5/6 to the bottom of GP-02. Use epoxy. 15...Test fit the pylon to the wing.
  • Page 7 16...Test fit the motor mount & motor onto the pylon. Remove them. Use clear polyurethane or dope to fuel proof the front of the firewall. You do not need to use enough to get a nice finish on the wood. A thin application allowed to soak into the wood will be fine.
