- Page 2 OVERVIEW: This scale replica of Burt Ruhtan’s Pond Racer is designed for quick and easy construction and printed using light weight PLA (LW-PLA). For best results the canopy should be printed with clear PLA. Semi scale propellers are included in the plans designed to suit the 2804 2300kv outrunner (6.75x5 blade) in 2 blade configuration.
- Page 5 REQUIRED TOOLS: KNIFE LIGHTER SANDPAPER (MEDIUM GRIT) PLIERS CA GLUE SCREW DRIVERS FILE OR RASP REQUIRED COMPONENTS: X2 2205 2300KV MOTOR (or similar) X2 12AMP or 20AMP ESC X2 950MAH 2S LIPO OR SIMILAR X4 3.7G MICRO SERVO BAMBOO SKEWERS 3MM HEAT SHRINK TUBE 3mm X6 10mm X 10mm X 2mm MAGNET (ROUND) X10 MICRO HINGES (OPTIONAL)
- Page 6 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS After all parts have been printed, some may require to be cleaned/trimmed as LW-PLA is prone to stringing. Do this by gently sanding back the rough sections with a file, sandpaper or blade until the surface is smooth. All faces which are to be glued to other parts need to be given a light sanding (scuff the surface) to assist with glue adhesion.
- Page 7 Glue all sections of the center fuse and together except fuse 4. This will be glued on after the elevators have been installed. Once glued, with a sharp knife, remove the false floor of the battery hatch. (see pic/ red faces) NOTE: The removed sections of LW-PLA that is the false floor will be used as hinge pieces later.
- Page 8 Cut a 250mm length of carbon strip and gently test fit the “wing outer” section to “fuse pod 3”. (slot for carbon strip highlighted below) NOTE - There are internal slots in fuse pod 3 for the carbon strip. Take care not to break them as the strip is fed through the fuse section.
- Page 9 Assemble each control surface and test fit the hinges in the hinge slots for each control surface and its parent part, this will make gluing the control surface easier when the time comes. NOTE- Do not force the hinge if it is too tight. Loosen the slot by gently inserting a stanley knife.
- Page 10 Bend a section of 1mm steel wire to connect the elevators together. Test fit the wire and the elevators connection to the horizontal stabilisers before gluing the wire to the elevators, or the elevators to the tail plane. There should be un-obstructed travel. Once satisfied, glue the elevators in place.
- Page 11 Glue the “vertical stabiliser” to “center fuse 4” and this assembly to “center fuse 3”. Glue the rudder and ailerons in place. Make sure each control surface has full and free movement. Glue the wingtips and pod tips in place (if not already completed). Install the servos and run the wiring through the tunnels to the cockpit.
- Page 12 Install the motor mounts to the firewall. Install the motors to the mounts. (CCW motor = right pod CW motor = left pod) Connect the two esc’s battery wires by feeding wires through “fuse pod 3” and into the center wing tunnel and into the other fuse pod.
- Page 13 The CCW motor and propeller should be mounted on the right side, This will ensure the propeller does not come loose in flight or on landing. It will also minimise any adverse yaw if an engine fails. AIRCRAFT VIEWED FROM THE FRONT Lastly, feed the receiver wires to the cockpit.

22. INSTALLING THE LANDING GEAR (optional) Bend up the 2mm section of piano wire according to the diagram below. SIDE VIEW The test wheel was a 45mm diameter x 17mm wide foam wheel. Add a 25mm rake forward to the main gear leg. This will assist in preventing the model from nosing over on grass fields. - Page 15 Insert the gear leg into the wing as pictured below. Apply a small amount of hot glue to the outer bend of the leg (red circle on image above. This will hold it in place but also allow it to be removed if desired. Fit the wheel and secure it with a shaft collar.
- Page 16 Bend up the tailwheel link from 1mm piano wire as pictured below. SIDE VIEW ISO VIEW (X)mm refers to the distance required to fit the wheel and wheel lock of your choice to the axel. Test wheel was printed 20mm diameter x 5mm wide. 2mm should protrude from the wheel collar once fitted to allow crimping of the wire.
- Page 17 Insert the tail wheel assembly into the rudder as pictured. The slot should not be drilled out so as to maintain friction and stop the wheel from rotating in the slot. A drop of CA can be applied to the link once in place if desired however this will make removal later on much more difficult.
- Page 18 Fit the propeller hub to the motor and screw in the blades using m2 x 10mm screws. Then secure the spinner to the hub. The propeller blades will need to be pre-drilled with a 2mm drill bit for ease of fitment. Installing the propeller: Install the blade to the hub and secure it with an m2 x 10mm screw.
- Page 19 BALANCING AND CG The ballast lead required should be placed in the hollow section of fuse 1. NOTE! Balancing needs to be done with the propeller attached. See below Installing the propeller: Install the blade to the hub and secure it with an m2 x 10mm screw. (screw direction towards the back of the hub) Install the hub to the motor.
- Page 20 RANGE OF TRAVEL: MAIDEN / NORMAL FLIGHT: Elevator +/- 6mm Rudder +/- 7mm Aileron +/- 8mm AEROBATIC: Elevator +/- 6mm Rudder +/- 15mm Aileron +/- 12mm LAUNCHING: It was found that the safest and most successful launch technique for this model was the over-arm style gripping the model by the base of the cockpit.
