Thank you for purchasing F35 90mm from www.rbckits.com
For the first time, R/C enthusiasts we have a choice in scale and fun flyer aircraft designs.
Our goal, through computer technology and state-of-the-art production techniques, is to offer aircraft
which in the past have not been modelled simply because they weren't popular enough to justify mass
production. Our production techniques allow us to produce aircraft which, though not as popular and
well known as P-51s and P-47s, still offer historical significance (good or bad!), Good looks and flying
characteristics, and a uniqueness that is sure to turn heads wherever you take your airplane!
Your airplane has many unique features in its design:
CAD Design
CAD design allows strength to be built into the airplane without sacrificing weight. Accurate parts
design and placement ensures a perfect fit.
CAD Drawn Plans
The plans in this kit are not copied from a master set! They are originals drawn directly from the CAD
program where the airplane was designed. We do this because it allows us to use colour, which helps
you better visualize the various components of the airplane, and we can use better quality paper,
which greatly reduces the possibility of shrinkage.
Since you're going to build directly on the plans, they ought to be the proper size! Also, parts
placement is guaranteed to be accurate, so you can build a better, straighter model.
Small and hard-to-produce parts are simply a computer file away, so you get a more accurate airplane.
Lightening Holes
Lightening holes are cut into all ribs and formers where possible and justified. This allows us to keep
the weight on each plane to a minimum without sacrificing strength.
The same program that generates the design and plans also drives the cnc cutter, so every part is
reproduced exactly as it was designed. Cnc cutting also allows us to fit more parts on each sheet of

  • Page 1 Thank you for purchasing F35 90mm from www.rbckits.com For the first time, R/C enthusiasts we have a choice in scale and fun flyer aircraft designs. Our goal, through computer technology and state-of-the-art production techniques, is to offer aircraft which in the past have not been modelled simply because they weren’t popular enough to justify mass production.
  • Page 2 Lexan General Building Information The F35 90MM can be built by a person with experienced building skills. It is not designed for someone who has built a trainer or low wing sport plane. No unusual building techniques are required, although more difficult areas are explained in detail where necessary.
  • Page 3 Wheels as on the drawing, controls, motor, battery etc. All vacuumformings should be roughened up before gluing Check the 3d pdf (you need adobe x10) and pictures for additional information; a picture says more as a 1000 words so do look at the pictures on the cd Fuselage: Start by taking out all formers from their sheet and marking them with the correct nr as per plan.
  • Page 4 Place carefully the F36 formers with the Midpiece to the build support and place the other formers. Place bottom formers F35, note do not join them yet. Do not glue anything Join F38 and join F37 place them in assembly and place top formers F34...
  • Page 5 Place F18 between F37 and F38. Place F16 and place former F13 When all formers are in and the fuselage is lined out to the build support, the carefully glue formers with ca or thin white glue so the assembly becomes ridged. Care should be taken with the tail section do not apply to much pressure here Place taileron hinges with help from the 6mm carbon rod.
  • Page 6 Make the edf hatch, do make a bit of room with help from some thick cardboard along the sides of the hatch, and place top stringers Star by making up the front cabin part with the joining retract formers 92pcs) and glueing to F6 Place Formers one by one do not glue yet until assembly is joined with fuselage...
  • Page 7 The fuselage is removed from the building frame as you see turned over and glue the front assembly to the fuselage. Place formers RF5 and fill pieces Sheet the bottom part of the cabin retract part Place top formers F8 and F8B and sheet top part of fuselage front...
  • Page 8 The duct lining is pre-cut, but carefully slide it in the fuselage Sand and join them at the edf side, wet the outer duct shells with a little water to make them flexible Carefully put them in and push them in the corners with help from a drop of ca here and there. They are a 2 piece part 1 slides over the other...
  • Page 9 Close the gaps on top and bottom of the intake ducts with scrap balsa. Place F1 into nosecone and sand to fit to the fuselage place dowels 6mm for easy positioning.
  • Page 10 Now carefully start sheeting the fuselage with the 2mm balsa sheeting, you might need to sand or plane the edges to obtain a good fit on each other. Best is to use ca for gluing to the formers and a well sanding balsa glue, like ulu hart between the strips.
  • Page 11 Sheet the bottom with balsa 2 and balsa 2mm strip Sand sides and sheet them. Sand the intakes to shape. Make the front retract opening and place retract. Place wings to fuselage, we use slow glue for this...
  • Page 12 Place steering servo Use braided wire for steering Make the hatch from the cut-out or place cut-out with an opening for the wheel and leg closing. We used a wire closing and spring to open the hatch, we fasten the hatch to Kavan hinges for easy...
  • Page 13 removal, and we used 2,2x6mm fasteners Place edf and controller and wiring make the exhaust duct from the supplied PVC sheet as per plan. Join the duct with tape, fold it in and place into fuselage to edf unit Make the tail cone from F40 and the vacuum formed cone; open the sides to clear the taileron servos...
  • Page 14 Fasten the exhaust cone with 2,9x13 fasteners; this will also hold the exhaust duct Cut the canopy to the inscribed lines and glue to the canopy frame CF1, CF2, CF3 fastener and CF4,CF6 The canopy back part is glued to the fuselage and holds CF4 Wings: Start with a flat building board with the size for the wing and fuselage Place the drawing of the wing on the building board and protect it with plastic.
  • Page 15 Take out all ribs and formers out of their sheets; you can mark the formers with a soft pencil if you like sand of all holding tabs. Place main formers on bottom and place doublers; check the drawing for the correct position of the doublers.
  • Page 16 Place other side main formers and ribs; work out wing same as start side Place sub leading edge to the bottom sheeting and to the ribs. Do this the same for the other side of the wing. sand the sub leading edge to the ribs . Make up the top sheeting as per plan, do make oversize, turn over wing and place the help former as per plan with a few drops of ca...
  • Page 17 Pin down one wing side as the marked position as per plan, cut the sheeting as close to the wing as practical, Start sheeting from the sub leading edge backwards, and glue sheeting to formers. Place leading edge and sand to shape, make up wing tips and sand these to shape and to match the wing Place wing joiners and dowels, do not glue yet Open up the bottom sheeting to place the retract units in your kit they will be in the forward bay,...
  • Page 18 Cut around the vacuum formed hatches to take out the assembled hatch. Take out the temp former Make the wing fairings fit and cut the wheel doors, line them with 3x6 balsas. Place hinges and closing wires as per drawing, or use extra servos for the wheel doors Stabilizer and rudders: Rudders: Make up the rudder parts as per plan, they are simple sheet, sand them to shape...
  • Page 19 Do try fit to fuselage for throws and free movement Place scrap fills to the tailerons as per plan and sand to shape...
  • Page 20 Have Fun with the F35 90MM Additional pictures are on the disk , also a 3d pdf , where you can see all parts of the F35 90mm in 3d , you need adobe 10X to view, it will not work in your browser WWW.RBCKITS.COM...
