- Page 1 Fuselage Assembly 1. Fit battery tray base BT2 to F2 2. Fit battery tray sides BT1 to F2/BT2 3. Fit F1 to battery tray BT1/BT2. Ensure all parts are fit together square and tight and then glue together.
- Page 2 4. Glue F1A to the back of F1. 5. It is recommended to fit your motor to F1 at this time. You will need to route a hole for your motor wires to pass through 6. Fit former F3 to the electronics/servo tray ST. Ensure ST is perpendicular to F3 and glue together.
- Page 3 8. Fit and glue the other fuselage side to F3/ST. Bring the rear of the fuselage sides together and secure with tape, do not glue them together yet. 9. Fit the fuselage bottom to the fuselage sides. Ensure the joints are tightly fit together and that the sides are square to the bottom and then glue them together.
- Page 4 12. Cut two pieces of the included balsa triangle 2” long and epoxy to LG2 and the fuselage sides. 13. Fit the battery tray assembly to the fuselage sides. Ensure all parts are fully seated and that the fuselage sides are straight (no twist) and then glue the battery tray assembly to the fuselage sides.
- Page 5 16. Fit and glue the fuselage doublers FD in place as shown. 17. Cut two pieces of 3/16” carbon rod so that they stick out from both sides of the fuselage about 5/8” and slide them into the fuselage. DO NOT glue them in place! 18.
- Page 6 20. Fit and glue the included pre-cut 3/32” balsa sheeting to the nose and rear of the fuselage as shown. 21. Fit and glue the included pre-cut 3/32” balsa cockpit sheeting to the fuselage as shown, you will need to sand the bottom edge of the sheeting to fit tight against the nose sheeting.
- Page 7 24. Sand and cover the vertical stabilizer. 25. Sand a 30 degree bevel on the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. Sand and cover the horizontal stabilizer. 26. Join the elevator halves with a 3” piece of the included 1/8” dowel, use the horizontal stabilizer to ensure the elevators are spaced apart appropriately.
- Page 8 28. Cut the covering from the slots in the top of the fuselage and horizontal stabilizer for the vertical stabilizer. Fit the vertical stabilizer to the fuselage and using it as a guide, cut and remove the covering from the fuselage/horizontal stabilizer where it meets the vertical stabilizer.
- Page 9 32. Secure the landing gear wire to the fuselage, the landing gear should be even with the leading edge of the wing.

Page 10: Wing Assembly
Wing Assembly 33. It is very important to remember that you will be building a right and left wing panel. For each step you will need to perform the same task with the parts in left (as depicted in the illustrations) and right orientation. - Page 11 36. Fit ribs R2 – R8 to WS2, R2 must be towards the end of WS2 that has the marked part number. 37. Fit TE1 to ribs R2 – R8, Don’t glue yet. 38. Fit and glue together SH2A and SH2B. Fit SH2 to TE1, R2 and wing spar, ensure all parts are fit together tightly and then glue together.
- Page 12 40. Fit and glue R9 to wing spar and TE1. 41. Fit and glue WS3 to wing spar. Fit and glue LE1 to R1 – 42. If you plan on adding the leading edge slats you will need to glue the slat pockets SL1 to the outside face (towards wing tip) of ribs R2, R5 and R8.
- Page 13 44. Sand a bevel in the leading edge LE1 to match ribs R1 & R2. 45. Fit and glue 1/8” sq. sticks into the slots in the wing ribs as shown. Slice 1/8” sq. sticks in half between R1 & R2. See step 43 below for clarification. 46.
- Page 14 48. Fit and glue together SH4A and SH4B. Fit SH4 to R1 and R2, ensure all parts are fit together tightly and then glue together. Fit and glue SH3 to LE1, R1, R2 and the wing spar. 49. Fit and glue T1, T2 and T3 to R9. 50.
- Page 15 52. Glue TE2 to TE1 as shown. 53. Glue SDF in place as shown. 54. Cut the included 3/16” carbon rod in half. Insert the carbon. Test fit the two wing panels together before gluing the carbon rod in place. 55.
- Page 16 56. To make the slats, apply a thin film of wood glue to the 1/32” slat bottom that has the six small notches. Put the 1/32” slat top on to the slat bottom and carefully align them. Place the slat onto a 3” to 4” diameter tube (like PVC tube) and tape down to the tube.
- Page 17 60. Glue the 1/32” balsa aileron bottom (with the ‘T’ notches to the other side of the ply aileron core. Round the leading edge of the aileron (edge with notches) and then sand a taper on both sides of the trailing edge so that the aileron has a symmetrical airfoil profile.
- Page 18 64. Attach the servo to the servo doors. Ensure that the servo placement does not interfere with the servo door frame in the wing. Insert the servo door into the wing and secure with four screws. 65. Install a control horn on the aileron and connect the aileron to the servo.

Page 19: Float Assembly
Float Assembly 67. Fit F3, F4 and F5 to the 1/8” ply mount doubler, ensure the formers are fully seated and perpendicular and then glue together. 68. Fit and glue formers F3-F5 to one of the float sides. 69. Fit and glue the opposite float side to formers F3-F5. - Page 20 70. Fit and glue formers F1, F2 and F6 to the float sides. 71. Sheet the top of the float with 1/16” balsa, 1/32” balsa can be used if desired. 72. It is recommended to sheet the bottom front of the float with 3/32”...
- Page 21 74. Use landing gear straps to secure two pieces of wire or carbon rod to the floats. Measuring from the centerline of each float, the floats should be about 8- 3/4” apart. 75. Use landing gear straps to secure the landing gear wire to the floats.
- Page 22 Flying 1. Start with balancing your plane on the main spar, plane should be level or slightly nose down, move the battery forward or backward to adjust the CG. 2. Set the throws for the control surfaces: a. Ailerons – ½” up/down b.
