Page 2 General EPP can be glued with many adhesives, e.g. UHU Por (very elastic), 5 min epoxy (high bond strength, very hard not to be recommended,) or super glue (very light, brittle). We recommend PU glue, because this is very gap-fil- ling, which is important for sticking in the spars.
Page 3 Wings The two remainig wooden ribs get glued on the inner side of the wings. Afterwards the EPP rests get remo- ved from the spar slot. The 8mm CFK tubes must be cut to length, that they flush with the wingtip and remain 20mm longer on the inner rib.
Page 4 Elevator The 40x6mm CFK tube get slided onto the 4mm CFK rod. Drill a 4mm hole in of the control horns and slide it also onto the rod besid the tube. Same with the two EPP elveator parts. The rod get cut in length so that it flushes with the tips of the EPP parts.
Page 5 +/- 60°. For the first flights we suggest dualrate to +/-25°. These are only suggestions and can be varried to the preferences of the pilot. Have fun and great flights! Modellbau Joost Ad.-Stifter Weg 18 95632 Wunsiedel info@modellbau-joost.de www.modellbau-joost.de...
