MicronWings Glider V-Tail Bellbird Manual

Glider V-Tail Bellbird

The bellbird is an easy to build glider for the beginner to intermediate level builder. The construction is straight

forward and all parts are pre cut to slot together easily. A limited amount of sanding is needed on the V-Tail

section before gluing in place.

The kit features dihedral on the wingtips and these sections are pre-cut so all you need to do is to bend them

upward, infuse some glue into the gap and allow to dry. We also provide an angle wedge which is used for the

tail and wing tips to achieve the correct angle while drying.

Your kit contains the following items

Pre- cut parts

Sandpaper sheets

Diagram sheet

* Cling Wrap

* Flat board (working surface)

* Hobby Knife

* Wood glue

* BlueTack or putty

* Tape

Firstly it's a good idea to tape down a sheet of cling wrap over your work surface. This will stop the parts from

becoming glued to the surface. It's easier to peel off cling wrap from any wooden parts.

Bend up the win tip pieces a little but not enough to

completely detach them from the wing.

There is an angle guide included which can be placed

under the wing tip to hold it at the correct angle while

gluing.

Page 2 Support the wing tip with the angle guide and infuse glue into the joint and fill the gaps between the wing and wingtip. Wipe off any excess glue. While the wings are drying glue in the wing support piece. This piece should block the wing slot gap here. Refer to the wings and note the slots in them to see how they fit into the wing support.
Page 3 Glue on the nose cover sheets and make sure that excess glue is cleaned out of the wing gap here before it dries. Sand the tail pieces at a small angle so when they are put flush up against the side of the fuselage, they form an upward angle.
