Imagineering Clubs AEROGLIDE Mk II Instructions

6. Wings
Bend the wings along the dotted line
to form the dihedral angle of the two
wing tips, place centrally, UPSIDE
DOWN in the assembly jig and place
a small weight at each wing tip to
hold it down. Run a small amount of
glue along the underside of the wing
at the bend of the dihedral.
8. Trimming and Flying the Aeroglide
Squeeze a piece of Plasticine onto the front of the fuselage. Balance of the model
on your fingertips to see if it is level. The balance point should be about one third of
the wing width back from the leading edge. Add or remove Plasticine until the mod-
el balances. Follow the instructions on the BMFA Instruction sheet for final adjust-
ment and flying of the model.
7. Assembly
Put glue along the centre line of
the wing and push the fuselage
UPSIDE DOWN through the slots
in the jig and onto the wing. Leave
the glue to dry before taking it out
of the jig. As an alternative you can
use a glue gun for this if available.
