Building Instructions Fin and Rudder Take the six parts that form the Fin and Rudder (Parts 12, 11, 6, 8, 7 and 9), trial fit before gluing together using Cyano or white wood glue. With the supplied strip of 4.5 x 6mm (3/16” x 1/4”) cut to length to form the centre ribbing pieces.

Wit h a sharp knife cut the slots for four hinges 10mm in from either end and evenly spaced, ensure that the Elevator sits centrally on the Tail Plane. Cut 3/8” (10mm) strips from the supplied Mylar hinge material and insert into the hinge slots, 50% in the Elevator and 50% into the Tail Plane.

Glue the excess triangular fillet to the underside of F2 and dry fit between the Fuselage sides, ensure that F1 fits in the 3mm (1/8”) recess left at the front. If you are building the electric version carefully drill holes at the top and the bottom of the former to allow air to enter the Fuselage for cooling.
Page 10
If you are building the electric version take the battery hatch floor (Part 33) and place the tab under the ply U/C mount and mark the ends as shown below. Draw line here Remove the section of triangular balsa and plank with the 3mm (1/8”) from this point to the back of the Fuselage.

Adjust to suit before gluing in the skid with epoxy. Do not glue the Fin in at this stage. Ensure that the Tail Plane can fit into the Fuselage slot and the Fin slot without fouling. Wing and Aileron We recommend building the entire wing with Aliphatic Wood Glue. It is generally fast setting and can be sanded at the same rate as balsa.

As you install W2 take a piece of paper and roll into a tube to carry the servo wires to the centre section, this is optional, but we Find this makes the installation look tidier. These need to be inserted as work proceeds as it is impossible to insert after all the ribs are in place.

Cut the 1.5mm x 6mm x 915mm (1/16” x ¼” x 36”) capping strips to length and glue in place. Ensure good bond with the leading and trailing edge sheeting to prevent these pieces moving independently as this will cause problems when sanding, repeat to the bottom of the wing. Take the servo mounting plates (Parts) from the birch ply and cut holes to suit your chosen servos.
Page 14
Where the tip extends past the trailing edge of the wing make a fillet with scrap 1/8” (3mm) balsa as shown in the right hand picture above. Shape the leading edge roughly with a razor Plane before Finishing with sand paper as shown in the diagram on page 11, continually checking the fit to the Fuselage.

Covering Before covering seat the wing, Tail Plane and Fin and make sure that all fit. Make any alterations as necessary with Fine sandpaper and a block. Finally sand all parts to provide a smooth, blemish free surface ready for covering. !!! Warning. Ensure that you are wearing an appropriate mask for sanding balsa and are in well ventilated area, we recommend sanding in free air (outside).!!! This is your chance to express yourself;...

Cyano. Ensure the Cyano penetrates through the cotton. Final Assembly If you have any queries about the Final assembly then please contact us at support@evolution-models.com where we will be happy to discuss your problem and send you a photo to two to illustrate our solution. Wing Take the fully covered wing and ailerons, glue the hinges 50% into the aileron using a thin Cyano and ensure that it penetrates into the slots both top and bottom.

Glue the Tail Plane into position, apply the glue inside the slot, top and bottom, and with help carefully open the slot while inserting the Tail Plane and release the Fuselage to clamp back down. Only apply slight pressure so as not to break the rear of the Fuselage. When inserting the Tail Plane be careful not to get glue onto the covering.

Make up the closed loop systems to the Elevator and Rudder as shown below. Ensure the crimps hold the wire tightly, place a drop of Cyano to make sure the wires cannot move. Motor Mount Mount the motor using the recommended motor mount ensuring that it is securely attached to the firewall, do not use screws, only use lock nuts, bolts and washers suitable for this application.
