- Page 1 ASSEMBLY MANUAL AND USER GUIDE TRACER 2000 Thermal glider By 3D AEROWORKS...
- Page 2 With an extremely thin wing profile and sleek fuselage, the Tracer 2000 has a fantastic glide ratio and penetrates strong wings easily. Links to components used can be found on the last page of the user guide.
- Page 5 REQUIRED TOOLS: KNIFE LIGHTER SANDPAPER (MEDIUM GRIT 320 recommended) PLIERS CA GLUE SCREW DRIVERS FILE OR RASP DRILL 8mm, 3mm, 1mm REQUIRED COMPONENTS: X1 2836 1500KV MOTOR (or similar) X1 40AMP ESC X1 2200MAH 3S LIPO OR SIMILAR X2 9G SERVO X2 10G SLIM 2.6KG SERVO BAMBOO SKEWERS 3MM X2 10mm X 10mm X 2mm MAGNET (ROUND)
- Page 6 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 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. Check the fitment of all parts before gluing to make sure a good bond takes place. There should not be any gaps visible in the joins.
- Page 7 Using a soldering iron, melt small holes in fuse 6 where the nylon wing bolts will pass through. The holes should be just big enough for the m6 nylon bolt to fit through. (marked in red) Assembling the V-tail Slide the center pieces of the v-tail over the 8mm carbon tube.
- Page 8 Glue the rear section to the v-tail to the tube. Place glue (marked in green) and join the two sections of the v-tail together. Glue the stabilisers to the center pieces. Glue the tips to the stabilisers. Run a 1mm drill bit through the control horn of the elevator to make sure the fishing line will pass through easily.
- Page 9 Assembling the servo tray Trim the servo arm down so that the fourth hole is the outermost hole. Screw or hot glue the servos in place. Glue the m6 nylon nuts in their slots in the underside of the servo tray. Thread fishing line through the 4 holes at the rear of the tail and connect the ends to the servo arms for both servo’s.
- Page 10 Slide the servo tray into the aft section of the fuse along the rails. Be sure to keep some tension on the fishing line as you do this or the lines might jam in the rails.
- Page 11 Align the servo tray with the holes in the aft section of the fuse. Place a small bead of hot glue to both sides where the tray meets the rails. It is only needed to stop the tray from moving in flight. (circled in red)
- Page 12 Install the tail boom to the rear of the fuse. There is an optional small hole in the aft of the fuse for a M2x20mm screw to secure the tail boom to the fuse, otherwise the tail boom can be glued in place. Be sure to confirm the v-tail is level with the fuse before fixing the tail in place.
- Page 13 Install the motor and esc. Depending on the motor, the shaft position may need to be adjusted. Be careful not to bend the shaft if this is required! Fit the propeller blades to the hub and secure the hub to the motor. The spinner is designed with an m6 thread and will screw on to most 28 sized motor adapters.
- Page 14 Assembling the wings Run an 8mm drill bit in reverse through the spar tubes of wing sections 1,2,3 and 4 to free up any small over-extrusions during printing. Cut 10mm sections of food skewer to align the wing sections during gluing. (you might need to reverse a 3mm drill bit into the hole if the skewer does not fit easily) Cut two 50mm lengths of 6mm carbon rod, glue one in each of the wing spars with 25mm protruding from the end.
- Page 15 BALANCING AND CG Fit the battery using Velcro as required and balance the aircraft inverted on the CG marking points located 51mm aft of the leading edge at the wing root. It is advisable on the first flight for the aircraft to be balanced on the cg markings, then move forward or aft as desired.
- Page 16 LAUNCHING: It was found that the safest and most successful launch technique for this model was the over-arm style. The aircraft should be launched at approximately 10deg nose up at 50% to 75% power. Too steep and the aircraft will stall, too shallow and it will contact the ground.
