  • Page 3 Building Instructions Charisma A straight board, such as the Extron Building Board 300×1200mm # X5537, is required as a building base to build the model. Protect the construction base with foil to prevent the components from sticking to the construction base. It is recommended to number the individual components before cutting them out, in order to facilitate assignment later.
  • Page 4 Lay the fuselage side panel flat. Glue the motor bulkhead (F1), bulkhead (H3), servo board (H6) together with bulkhead (G2), support board (H4) and bulkhead (G3) to the side panel. Pay attention to angularity! Place the second fuselage side panel (H1, G1) on the frames and glue...

  • Page 10 Sand the tip of the fuselage. To do this, adapt the molded parts (K5) to the curve of the front ring (H7). Glue the canopy from the parts base plate (N2), side parts (2×N1), front part (N4) and rear part (N3). Danger! The narrower side of the base plate (N2) must point towards the nose of the fuselage...
  • Page 11 Make the front catch for the canopy from a piece of leftover wood (balsa 3 mm) approx. 15×10 mm and glue it to the front part (N4). The lock must rest against the inside edge of the frame (N3). Glue the upper planking parts for the canopy.
  • Page 12 Place the canopy on the fuselage and sand the shape of the fuselage File the slot for the canopy latch latch to a width of 2mm. ATTENTION: The shape and design of the canopy latch may vary.

  • Page 16 Glue on the rib comb (B2) in the middle Have the auxiliary spar (3×3×540) ready ATTENTION! The rib crest has different angles at the ends. The smaller angle (2°) must point towards the fuselage. There the ribs are also glued to the mounting holes for the wing connectors. The larger angle (7°) points towards the outer wing.
  • Page 17 Glue the root rib with a slope of 2°.
  • Page 18 Glue the connection rib to the outer wing with 7° Slide and glue the trailing edge (C1) to the rib ends.
  • Page 19 Thread in the leading edge (D1) and glue Glue in the upper main spar (balsa 10×3×510mm).
  • Page 20 After the glue has dried, remove the excess on both sides and sand flat Glue the connector (F1) into the ribs (A5)
  • Page 21 Glue brass tube (Ø6×5) into fins (A1 to A3) with 5min epoxy. Allow the tube to protrude 3 mm over the rib (A1). Glue the cover rib (B4). At the same time, insert and glue the anti-twist device (beech Ø6 mm).

  • Page 25 The connecting rib (A5) is glued in at an angle of 7°. Slide and glue the trailing edge (C2) to the ends of the ribs Attach and glue the leading edge (D2).
  • Page 26 Glue in the upper main spar (balsa 10×3×410). After the glue has dried, remove the excess on both sides and sand flat.
  • Page 27 Glue the edge sheet (B3) to the rib (A11).
  • Page 28 Round off the leading edge with a long sanding lath, carefully sand the wing overall.
  • Page 29 Glue the inner and outer surfaces together. The outer ribs of the inner and outer surface must lie flat on the construction base, do not twist against each other! Glue the connector in fully, it must lie completely against the rib crest.
  • Page 30 Construction of the control panels Tack and glue the trailing edge, leading edge and tip edges of the tailplane to the construction base. Glue in the bridges and middle part (M1).
  • Page 31 Assemble and glue the rudder frame from the parts (K6, K9, K8, K7) and glue in the webs.
  • Page 32 Assemble the frame of the damping surface from the parts (K1, K3, K2, K4), glue & glue in the bars Draw a center line on the trailing edges of the damping surfaces and on the front edges of the rudder blades (elevator in the picture).
  • Page 33 Grind the front strips of the rudder blades to a point on both sides at an angle of 45° Insert hinges on both tail units, attach rudder flaps Danger! The hinges are only glued in after the covering.
  • Page 34 Round the leading edges and tip edges of the tail unit. Carefully grind the fins flat and level out any overhangs Danger! The rear edges of the rudder blades remain sharp, not rounded! ATTENTION! It is recommended to glue the fins to the fuselage only after the model has been covered. Installation of the RC linkages Prepare control horns (C3) for installation.
  • Page 35 Pull the Bowden cables for the rudder and elevator into the fuselage. Lay without kinks! Use 5-minute epoxy to glue the guide tubes to the frames and at certain points to the bottom of the fuselage, as well as to the side walls of the rear of the fuselage.
  • Page 36 Insert servos into servo board (H6) and secure with screws included with servo. Bend the linkage wire (steel wire Ø0.8 mm) at one end in a Z-shape and attach it to the servo arm.
  • Page 37 Bring the servos into the neutral position using the transmitter/receiver Thread the linkage wire with the servo lever into the Bowdenzu tube Put the servo arm on the servo and screw it.
  • Page 38 Since the tail units and control horns are only glued after the model has been covered, the photo is intended to illustrate the linkage to the rudders for demonstration purposes. Shown without elevator. Bend the linkage wire by 90° at the height of the hole in the control horn. Shorten the linkage wire to a leg length of approx.
  • Page 39 Push the engine forwards from the cabin cut-out into the fuselage and fasten it to the engine bulkhead (F1) with 4 screws M4×10 Complete the folding propeller and fasten it to the motor shaft. Secure controller and battery with Velcro. The final position of the battery is only determined when the center of gravity is set.

  • Page 40: First Flight

    The flight battery can be securely attached to the battery board with PICHLER Velcro # C5534. The optimal center of gravity of the model should be adjustable by moving the flight battery. If necessary, additional ballast # C9830 must be used.
