Step 5; Step 6; Step 7; Step 8 - RC Factory Bristol Scout Building Instructions

Close up bottom rear part of the fuselage and glue the front upper part of the fuselage. Trim
edges of the upper part to fit on side panels perfectly.

Step 5

Cut a bevel to all edges where elevator meets the stabilizer and rudder meets the stabilizer.
NOTE: Elevator control horn is in the LEFT control surface! Hinge the elevators to the
stabilizer using clear tape. Connect both halves of the elevator together with 3,5cm long
carbon rod. Glue this part rather a little bit more strongly, to make it extra rigid. Now you can
glue finished elevator to the fuselage.

Step 6

Bend the airfoil of the wing panels, for example by sliding them over the edge of the table. If
the airfoil matches the wing templates, you can glue wings together. Check the wing dihedral
using the template (one half will be flat on the table and wing tip of the other half should be in
the notch of the template). Glue the lower wing to the fuselage.

Step 7

Attach wings together with templates as shown on picture. Glue 10cm long carbon rods about
2cm deep into the fuselage (locate small notches on the side panels) and later to the upper
wing. Check out geometry of your plane rather twice before using glue! Don't forget plywood
reinforcements of the wing (Nr.4).

Step 8

Move templates to the tips of the wings. Glue 12cm long carbon rods between wings. Again,
don't forget reinforcements Nr. 4 and Nr. 6 on the upper front hole. Nr 6 should be oriented
so remaining space in the plywood ring is heading to the fuselage.

Step 9

Glue motor mount Nr 1, tail spur Nr 3 and control horns Nr 2. Rudder control horn must be on
the RIGHT side of the rudder.

Step 10

Glue together motor cowl. Start with the outer layer and than glue inner reinforcements. You
can round off the front of cowl using sand paper. Glue rudder stabilizer in place and hinge
rudder to the stabilizer and to the fuselage with tape.

Step 11

Glue servos into the fuselage. You can use adjustable stoppers or end the push rods with Z
bend made from piece of string. Use screws to mount the motor to the firewall and install
your ESC and receiver. After checking the function of your RC system, glue the landing gear
together.

Step 12

Glue wing diagonal struts between the upper wing and the bottom wing, than glue yellow and
orange reinforcements to the A bulkhead and glue motor cowl. Place the battery to set the
CoG to 35-40mm from the LE of the upper wing.
Before first flight set your elevator throws to 15-20° up and down, and rudder throws to the
maximum that the V cut in the elevator allows.
