Children should not operate this aircraft without adult supervision. To start assembly, gather the required electronic hardware and building supplies. You will need some foam-safe glue, some tape, and optional paint.
- Page 3 Assembly fuselage sides and install carbon - Glue the two fuselage sides together, a little tape can help hold them together until the glue dries. Glue all of the carbon rod reinforcements in place, they are all the same diameter. It is a good idea to do this on a very flat surface, keep parts flat while glue dries. Install lower fuselage and booms -...
