  • Page 2: Wing Assembly

    Note: Please test fit all parts before beginning assembly. The glider has a complete 3 view assembly drawing separate to this manual. Please refer to this drawing during assembly. This drawing is the latest information about the glider and should be the primary source for measurement and placement questions.
  • Page 3 To achieve a proper fit, the root of each wing half must be sanded at a slight angle to fit. 6. After sanding the wing root surfaces trial fit the blocks once again. It may be necessary to make adjustments to the wing blocks. 7.
  • Page 4: Mounting The Wing

    10. Connect the pushrods first to the aileron and flap horns, then to the servo arms, after that install the servos in servo bays with a small amount of silicone sealer. 11. To cover the servos you can use Art Hobby’s universal wing PHOTO 11 servo covers (#A0031).
  • Page 5 4. The bottom part of the V-tail mounting plate has a round shape to fit the boom. But to make a perfect fit to the boom we recommend wrapping the tail part of the boom with sand paper, and making a few strokes with the plate to achieve perfectly fitted saddle for the taper tail boom.
  • Page 6: Balance Point

    1. Clean the joiner tip of the fuselage pod with sand paper. PHOTO 20 Trial fit the boom with the pod and check the aligment. 2. Install the elevator and rudder pushrod housings and pushrods. Once the pushrod placement is finalized, glue the housing tubes with epoxy inside the boom to prevent flexing.
