GRAPHITE2 is designed for experienced pilots. Exceptional quality, computer modeling, careful work
on aerodynamics, construction designed to combine the extraordinary high strength with minimum weight
gives you the feeling of pure pleasure.
This model can be successfully used for different flying types. You can use it as a highest quality glider
for slope and termic on one hand and as an electric HOTLINER.
The experience of previous version helped us to get exceptional controllability and flying stability of the
model at critically low speed (e.g. at the landing). This is possible thanks to the flaps area increase, adding
of the transversal V angle of the wing central panel and the new V-form tail, designed by Dr. Drella.
A slight increase of the transversal V angle of the wing allowed to magnify the flying stability and helps
you to control the model in termic on long distance and also increased the effectiveness of the ruder.
Extraordinary wind penetration will allow you to return from the far distant thermal. A special
construction of the fuselage which redistributes loads from the nose to the back part when tough landing
during the competition. Also, besides the fuselage is strengthened by a layer of unidirectional high
strength carbon.
That's why Graphite2 will completely satisfy the experienced pilots ambitions and will surprise the less
eaperienced pilots with it's stable flying characteristics.

  • Page 2 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide Parts of the set pic. 2 FUSELAGE - color, gelcoated and laminated in the aluminum mould. It's made of kevlar and carbon and has a removable nosecone. Its keel for the RC mounting is made of carbon together with the ballast mounting tube.

    GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide Assembling instruction Please read this instruction to the full before assembling the model. This instruction is just a recommendation for you. You can assemble the model, choose and combine the equipment your own favorite way. Please be careful with the wing and stabilizator surfaces when assembling the model and mounting the controlling equipment and regulating the model.
  • Page 4 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide pic. 4 Make slots for the aileron horns (be careful!! Don't spoil the upper covering). pic. 5 Insert horn and glue it into the aileron by the cyanoacrylate adhesive (as shown at the picture 5). Screw flap horns in deep as possible.
  • Page 5 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide ATTENTION! Don't permit the glue to flow into the flap hinges or leave the glue stains on surfaces. Use the c accelerator for faster gluing! Before mounting the servos move the servo horns to the neutral position as shown at the picture 6.
  • Page 6 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide pic. 8 Be careful: the plugs are to be screwed to the rods tightly to avoid their free motion. Cover the servo well by the servo plate using the double sided tape. Work up and glue the small upper well by the cyanoacrylate adhesive.
  • Page 7 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide 2. STABILIZER The stabilizer is completely ready and doesn't need working up. Screw in the horns into the holes and fix them together with the balls by the cyanoacrylate adhesive. pic. 10 Tape stabilizer to fuselage before flying! 3.
  • Page 8 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide pic. 12 pic. 13 pic. 14 Glue the plywood bars for servos mounting into the slots. The back slot is wider to make it possible to increase the window if you use bigger servos (max size - 16mm thick e.g. MPX Micro Speed Digi).
  • Page 9 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide pic. 15 pic. 16 pic. 17 Solder the accumulators in pairs. Solder the wire through the tongue and fix the accumulators by the thermo film. Glue the accumulators in the thermo film to the tongue by the cyanoacrylate adhesive.
  • Page 10 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide Make the needful size hole in the fuselage to mount the tow hook (as shown at the picture 18). For better adhesiveness sand the inner part of the fuselage by the sanded paper in the gluing spot.
  • Page 11 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide Watch carefully to prevent the glue getting inside of the pipe and fixing the rod. For this put the fuselage vertically tail up. pic. 21 Mount the stabilizer and put the ball rod tips to the horns. Use special instruments to put the ball stabilizer tips on to the horns.
  • Page 12 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide Make several wooden supports for the pipes and fix them as close to the servos as possible. Regulate the length of the rods by screwing the plugs onto them to get the coincidence of the neutral position of the servo horns and the elevators.
  • Page 13 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide Airbrake mode: Ailerons downwards 2-3 mm Flaps downwards 800 Elevator downwards 3-4 mm** ** In order the machine doesn't pitch up and dive when the regime is on Speed mode: Ailerons upwards 1-1.5 mm Flaps upwards 1-1.5 mm Elevator upwards or downwards 0.5-1 mm***...
  • Page 14 GRAPHITE 2. Assembling gide Regulate the deviation of the turning rudder during the flight in order the machine doesn't pitch up or dive when you turn only the turning rudder. 6. Ballast mounting You can make a ballast from a metal bar (diameter less than 20.5mm). You can use aluminum (up to 370g), steel (up to 700g), lead (up to 100g) or a heavier metal (up to 1200g).
