You will need also the:

CA glue, CA glue activator, sharp (modelling) knife, 150 mm extension cable for servo???. To complete the model you will need: a
receiver (MZK), servos (Wipont W-060), a controller (TMM-1210-3 or Jeti 12), an accumulator battery (3 LiPol cells of 640-1200
mAh), a motor (HCS-80/2E or similar of about 80 W output).

Description of the model:|

The model is completely made of EPP and has some carbon components. With its weight beginning at 250 grams it is an ideal
model for flying in any suitable spot (e.g. a school playground or in the street). It is intended not only for experienced pilots, but also
for the advanced modellers. To power it you may use a motor from our production, e.g. the HCS-80/2E, and three Lithium Polymer
cells. Thanks to a well thought-out design the construction would take only about 90 minutes.

Building process:

Unless otherwise stated, all joints should be glued with the rapid CyA glue. Start the building by assembling the engine
nacelles (Fig. 1, 2). Then glue the wings to the fuselage central part, and, using a sharp modelling knife, cut a 1-2 mm
deep slit into the wing from both upper and lower side. Press the carbon spar (rod) into the slit and glue there from both
sides, using thin CyA glue (Fig. 3). Work on a flat surface to ensure the complete assembly is not distorted.
Cut the openings for servos into the fuselage centre section and glue the centre section in place (Fig. 4).
Glue the securing ring to the end of the carbon shaft of the elevators. Using the Fig. 5 as a guide, cut the grooves in the
fuselage central part and, according to the Fig. 6, glue the mechanism of the slab elevators in place.
Insert the carbon tube through the location grooves and slide onto it the elevator lever, then the two securing rings, two
from each side, respectively (Fig. 3). In the fuselage part, cut the grooves for the elevator shaft bushings. Move the
securing rings to their extreme external positions to eliminate any play in the carbon tube. Then carefully glue the
rings, ensuring at the same time the freedom of movement of the carbon tube. Using the Fig. 4 as a guide, glue in place
the bushings for the slab elevator. Pierce/drill a hole through a cube of EPP and slide it onto the control rod, to serve as
the control rod guide. Glue the elevator servo in place (Fig. 5), setting the correct distance according to the position of
the cut-out in the nacelle, and install the elevator control rods (Fig. 6).
Check the neutral position of the servo and glue the elevator lever in place (Fig. 7). Ensure the wing and right and left
elevator planes are parallel and that they are at the same angle relative to the wings. Glue the engine nacelles to the
fuselage (Fig. 8). Glue the fuselage main part (Fig. 9) and the vertical tail surfaces (Fig. 10). Using the Fig. 11 as a
guide, glue the motor bulkhead and the rear fuselage aluminium doubler, screw-on the motor bearers (Fig. 12) and
secure the motor in place.
Install the speed controller as per Fig. 13. Glue the engine nacelle upper part in place (Fig. 14). The location of
the accumulator battery is shown of the Fig. 15. Using a hand-held soldering gun, cut a hole for the receiver into the
fuselage (place the hole so that the servo cables would reach it). If the controller's servo cable is long enough, there is no
need to use an extension one. Connect cable extensions to the power cables of the controller, or cut the original cables
short and splice them with new cables as long as necessary. The model is now ready for balancing. By shifting the
batteries, set the position of the centre of gravity to some 320 mm from the motor bulkhead. Then cut, using a soldering
gun, an opening for the battery pack; the dimensions of the battery opening shall be some 2 to 3 mm less than the outer
dimensions of the battery pack, so that the batteries would hold in place without any extra fixation.
Now the model is complete. For the first flight, set the deflection of the controls to the half of their travel. As
the model, thanks to the propeller torque, tends to roll to the left, set the trailing edge of the right half of the elevator
some 4 mm up. The model has specific flight characteristics – thanks to its layout it can fly not only fast, but also very
slow. Bear in mind that the propeller torque effect is much more pronounced during slow flight, especially after the
launch, and the model rolls slightly to left.
This model is no toy – therefore avoid flying in crowded or such places where health or property not only of
yourselves, but also of third persons could be jeopardised..
Lots of fun and many happy landings wishes FreeAir.
