OVERVIEW: This custom design of a high speed futuristic fighter is designed for quick and easy construction printed in PLA. For best results the canopy should be printed with clear PLA and the motor mount and propeller assembly in regular PLA or PETG. Designed to suit the 2826 2200kv outrunner on a 5x5 propeller.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 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. Check the fitment of all parts before gluing to make sure a good bond takes place. There should not be any gaps visible in the joins.

Glue the sections vertical stabilisers together. NOTE: be sure to match up the side correctly. (example of left vertical stabiliser below)

Cut two 35mm sections and one 25mm section of food skewer. Insert the 35mm sections in the front two holes and the 25mm section into the aft holes of the vertical stabiliser. Fit the vertical stabiliser to the Inner section of the wing using the skewers to align the parts. The completion of this section should have the front two skewers protruding from the vertical stabiliser which will assist the fitment of the outer wing.
Fit and glue the outer section of the wing to the already assembled inner section and vertical stabiliser. The carbon or pine main spar should be test fit before gluing. Glue the aileron sections together. Insert the hinges into the ailerons and test fit the aileron to the wing.
SIDE VIEW ISOMETRIC VIEW Fit the torque link to the end of the push rod with the short 90 deg bend. Fit the servo connector to the servo. (be sure the connector is centered in the neutral position when the servo has power.

Insert the torque link and rod through the aileron end of the torque link tube and secure it to the servo. Install the servo into the wing, the servo gear needs to be on the same side as the tube for the torque link (see below). Secure with either hot glue or attach the servo adaptors and screw into place.

CORRECTLY SECURED EXAMPLE Glue the hinges to the aileron first, then the aileron to the wing. IMPORTANT! Only 2 drops of CA is needed for each slot for the hinges. Too much CA and the hinge will bind and be unusable. TIP: After adding the CA, use a tissue to wipe away the excess.

Cut two 20mm sections of skewer and fit to the inner section of the wing. Glue the wing to the fuselage. The carbon or pine main spar should be test fitted before gluing. Repeat steps 3-9 for the right wing Glue the sections of the canopy together.
Install all servos using a small amount of hot glue to secure it in place. Image of left wing Connect up the control surfaces with 1mm piano wire and check the movements. (ARROWS INDICATE DIRECTION CONTROL SURFACE DEFLECTION) CLIMB DESCEND RIGHT TURN LEFT TURN...

BALANCING AND CG Fit the battery using Velcro as required and balance the aircraft on the CG marking points located 125mm aft of the leading edge at the wing root. It is advisable on the first flight for the aircraft to be balanced on the cg markings, then move forward or aft as desired.
