OVERVIEW: This replica of the Focke Wulf FW190-D9 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 The motor mount and propeller assembly in regular PLA. A semi scale propeller is included in the plans designed to suit the 2204 2300kv outrunner (5x4.75) in 2 or 3 blade...

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS After all parts have been printed, some may require to be cleaned 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.

Cut 15mm sections of skewer and place into alignment holes in the fuselage sections. NOTE - It may be required to open up the holes a small amount if the fit is too tight. Do this by using a 3mm drill bit. Gently spin it in reverse as you insert it into the hole. This will ensure the bit does not tear the print.

From part “fuse 3” remove the inner section of the lead tunnel with a knife or heated metal rod to allow the servo lead for the aileron to pass through. (refer image) 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.

Place a drop of CA in the hinge slot of the control surface and insert the hinge. Be sure that the hinge is perpendicular to the control surface. Then bend the hinges to 90deg back and forward a few times to make sure they are appropriately loose. (the outer aileron and elevator hinge may need to be trimmed).

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. Glue the rudder, elevators and ailerons in place.

Cut one 200mm section and four (2 per wing)15mm sections of skewer. Insert the 15mm sections into the wings and the 110mm section through the fuselage. This is a makeshift spar to assist supporting the landing gear. (not required if not using the gear) Glue the wings to the fuselage NOTE –...

Run a string through the aileron servo wire tube from the mount hole for the aileron servo to the wing root. Leave enough length so that you will be able to feed the string through the fuse later. Install all servos using a small amount of hot glue to secure it in place. The aileron servos mounting tabs will need to be trimmed.

Install the magnets to both the fuselage and the canopy using CA. Install the desired motor mount to the fuselage using m2 screws. The mount holes may need to be pre-drilled with a 2mm drill bit. Wire up the ESC to the motor. The esc is intended to sit below the battery floor with the wires connecting to the battery through the hole in the mid section of the fuselage floor.

Install the motor to the motor mount. The motor mount holes may need to be pre-drilled with a 3mm drill bit. 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.
** IF NOT USING LANDING GEAR SKIP AHEAD TO STEP 27 ** Bend up the 2mm section of piano wire according to the diagram below. TOP VIEW SIDE VIEW The test wheel was a 45mm diameter x 17mm wide foam wheel. Add a 25mm rake forward to the main gear leg.
Page 17
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 18
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 19
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.

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.

RANGE OF TRAVEL: NORMAL FLIGHT: Elevator +/- 5mm Rudder +/- 6mm Aileron +/- 5mm AEROBATIC: Elevator +/- 8mm Rudder +/- 15mm Aileron +/- 10mm LAUNCHING: It was found that the safest and most successful launch technique for this model was the under-arm style.
