5. Assembly of printed parts 5.1 Wing assembly VL Pyörremyrsky Glue wing parts L1-L3 perfectly together. The new 3DLabPrint lock system will help you. Repeat for the right side. Glue both halves of the wing together. Use the CA glue, (position locks and wing pins will help you to align the parts), and use activator to speed up the glue curing.

You can use snap knife for cleaning the surface of printed parts, but mostly it is not necessary. Glue fuselage parts F1-F4 with CA glue together. The new 3DLabPrint lock system will help you. Zkontrolujte kolmost dílu F4 na uložení křídla dílů F1 a F2 před zalepením. Do not glue rudder part before tail and elevator assembly.

The profile is symmetric, so the left and right sides are identical. Glue the stabilizers perfectly perpendicular to the fuselage. Assemble both sides of the elevator with the elevator control lever on a flat surface.

For the first flights we recommend setting the center of gravity to around 5 mm forward of the CG tag - nose heavy, this increases the stability (you can use heavier battery). Increasing expo settings on your transmitter for elevator and ailerons to 80 % calms response from your stick inputs.
