  • Page 7: Building Instructions

    Building Instructions The laser is set to the minimum setting to minimise any ‘V’ cut in the balsa, please check and run a knife through any areas that require releasing and the tabs that hold the part in the sheet. Fin and Rudder Take the three parts that form the Fin and Rudder (Parts 5, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 18), trial fit before gluing together using Cyano or white wood glue, ensure that the Fin leading edge and Fin top are at 90°.
  • Page 8 With 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. Ensure that you get at least 45° free movement either way.
  • Page 9 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 Remove the section of triangular balsa, leaving the ply reinforcement runners in place, and plank with the 3mm (1/8”) sheet from this point to the back of the Fuselage. Remove triangular strip Fit Hatch Latch Here Plank the bottom of the hatch floor with 3mm (1/8”) balsa except for the tab that fits under the U/C mount.
  • Page 11 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 shaped at the same rate as balsa.
  • Page 12 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.
  • Page 13 Un-pin from the board and repeat the sheeting process to the underside of the wing. Once completed cut off any excess spar, leading, trailing edge and sheeting, leave flush with the end ribs. Take the 1.5mm x 75mm x 1220mm (1/16” x 3” x 36”) sheeting supplied and sheet across the 4 centre ribs to both top and bottom of the wing, glue to the ribs.
  • Page 14 Take the two wing tip pieces (Part 9(2)) and glue onto the tips of the wing using foam safe Cyano or UHU Por. The tip should be lined up with the centre of the leading edge and the centre of the trailing edge. With some scrap 3mm (1/8”) sheeting make the triangular fillet pieces to support the wing tip.
  • Page 15 With a pencil mark the centre line of the leading edge and chamfer to a 45° angle with a razor Plane. With a sharp knife cut slots for four hinges 10mm in from either end and evenly spaced. Ensure that the ailerons sit flush with the top surface of the wing.
  • Page 16 Heat the wire using a blowtorch and feed solder into the joint, ensuring that you flood the joint to make it strong. Clean off the excess with a damp cloth; do not touch the leg as it will be extremely hot. We advise wearing gauntlets at this point.
  • Page 17 Final Assembly If you have any queries about the Final assembly or any other part of the build, 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.
  • Page 18 its slot and carefully cut 1.5mm (1/16”) on the inside of the line to remove the covering film from both the top and bottom. Take the Fin and insert into the slot. With a pencil mark along the Fuselage as with the Tail Plane, remove the Fin and remove the covering from 1.5mm (1/16”) below the line.
  • Page 19 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. GLOW VERSION The following paragraphs are for those wishing to use a glow engine, for those wishing to use electric please step forward to the Electric Version.
  • Page 20 sit up against F1 and below the wing seat. The position of the Throttle cable must allow for this. The Bowden cable will fit along side that tank. Use scrap balsa or ply to fix it to the side of the Fuselage. Put one of the supplied clevises on the end of the Bowden cable.
