General Building Information
The DH108 Swallow 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. Certain steps in the
building process must be followed as depicted, or you might find yourself digging back into the
structure to redo something. These areas are outlined when necessary. Occasionally hints will be
included at certain building steps. These are not required for completion, rather they are tips intended
to ease a particular process. The cnc router does cut through the wood, as a result of this, occasionally
there will be fraying on the surface of the wood. This is normal, and is only a surface problem and does
not affect the wood in any other way. Similarly, the cnc settings are optimized for wood thickness
averages, so occasionally, due to variations even in individual sheets, some areas might not cut
through completely. Simply use care in cutting the parts from the sheets; most of the time, the parts
will break out of the sheets!
Note that due the differences in wood thickness per sheet it is advisable to sand the tabs a bit so they
slide in easy , also sand the openings so parts slide in easy , hard pushing parts have a high risk of
breaking
Hardware and an edf unit are not included in the kit. There are so many choices for quality hardware
that these choices are left to the individual preferences of the builder, rather than include something
in the kit that you'll probably throw away anyway.
