  • Page 1 ASSEMBLY MANUAL AND USER GUIDE X-88 FUN-JET (v4.1 Light-jet issue) By 3D AEROWORKS...
  • Page 2: General Specifications

    OVERVIEW: This custom design of a high speed futuristic fighter is designed for quick and easy construction printed in PLA. For best results the canopy should be printed with clear PLA and the motor mount and propeller assembly in regular PLA or PETG. Designed to suit the 2826 2200kv outrunner on a 5x5 propeller.
  • Page 3: Build Options

    BUILD OPTIONS: This model has been designed to suit four different build configurations with the potential to increase in the future thanks to its “screw together” design. Standard - Using the proven external servo and control horn, this option is perfect for the “first time builders”...
  • Page 5: Required Tools

    REQUIRED TOOLS: KNIFE SCREW DRIVERS LIGHTER FILE OR RASP SANDPAPER (MEDIUM GRIT 320 SOLDERING IRON (led version) recommended) DRILL PLIERS CA GLUE REQUIRED COMPONENTS: X1 2826 2200KV MOTOR (or similar) X1 30AMP ESC X1 2200MAH 3S or 4S(led version) LIPO OR SIMILAR X2 9G SERVO 3mm BAMBOO FOOD SKEWERS X2 10mm X 10mm X 2mm MAGNET (ROUND)
  • Page 6 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS This model offers the option to add COB led strips for night flying. The following instructions will have steps for assembly WITH and WITHOUT the LED strips. Steps for assembly using the LED strips will be prefixed with a letter next to the step number, eg- “1a” All faces which are to be glued to other parts need to be given a light sanding (scuff the surface) to assist with glue adhesion.
  • Page 7: Fuselage Assembly

    FUSELAGE ASSEMBLY Cut x1 300mm (top of fuse) and x2 580cm (fuse belly) lengths of LED strip and test fit them in the fuselage sections. NOTE- Led strips should face out for greatest effect. A small hole will need to be drilled or melted into the aft section of the wire tunnel of Fuse 3 for the wires of the led strip to access the battery.
  • Page 8 Solder the led strips and led’s so that their wires extend to roughly where the battery will be fitted during flight. (power wires marked in red) Once the fitment looks satisfactory, glue all sections of the fuselage together using CA Glue sections of the fuselage together using CA glue.
  • Page 9 VERTICAL STABILIZERS Glue the sections vertical stabilizers together. NOTE: be sure to match up the side correctly. (example of left vertical stabilizer below)
  • Page 10: Wing Assembly

    Cut two 70mm lengths of LED strip and solder a 30mm length of power wire to one end. Install the led strips into the front section of the vertical stabilizer with the led strip facing outward. The power chord needs to be accessible from the opening as it will be soldered to the wing later on.
  • Page 11 Install the led strips into the outer sections of the wings and solder power wires for the front and rear strips to the middle strip with power cables. (marked in red) Solder another power wire at the wing root end of the middle led strip which will reach the battery section of the fuselage.
  • Page 12 Cut two 35mm sections and one 25mm section of food skewer. Insert the 35mm sections in the front two holes and the 25mm section into the aft holes of the vertical stabilizer. Fit the vertical stabilizer to the Inner section of the wing using the skewers to align the parts. The completion of this section should have the front two skewers protruding from the vertical stabilizer which will assist the fitment of the outer wing.
  • Page 13 Solder the vertical stabilizer led strip to the outer wing (rear slot) led strip and test the led’s before gluing the wing together. Fit and glue the outer section of the wing to the already assembled inner section and vertical stabilizer.
  • Page 14 WINGTIPS Install a white led into the front of the wingtips and a red(left) and green(right) led into the side of the front wingtips. The power wires should come out through the hole behind the nav light mount. Connect the two led’s and add a length of power cable long enough to go through the middle led strip in the wing section to the wing root, through the servo wire tunnel at the wing root and into the fuselage up to the battery bay.
  • Page 15 Glue the sections of the wingtips together. NOTE- the trailing edge of each wing has built in “up trim” so make sure the front to match the front and back sections correctly. Be sure to match up the correct wingtip with each wing. Installing the Servo’s (standard version) Screw the servos to the servo covers and feed the servo wires through the wing into the fuselage.
  • Page 16: Top View

    Installing the Servo’s (RDS option) Using the screws provided with the servo, install the servo mounts to the servo mount arms. Cut two 110mm lengths of 2mm push rod and bend according to the images below. TOP VIEW Left side Right side SIDE VIEW ISOMETRIC VIEW...
  • Page 17 Fit the torque link to the end of the push rod with the short 90 deg bend. Fit the servo connector to the servo using small m1.6 or m2 screws. (be sure the connector is centered in the neutral position when the servo has power.
  • Page 18 Insert the torque link and rod through the aileron end of the torque link tube and secure it to the servo. Install the servo into the wing, the servo gear needs to be on the same side as the tube for the torque link (see below). Note- The mount plates in the wing for the servo consist of 4 layers and are quite thick.
  • Page 19 Installing the Ailerons Glue the aileron sections together. Insert the hinges into the aileron first and test fit the aileron to the wing. NOTE: The hinge length may need to be trimmed slightly if the aileron does not seat all the way into the hinge slot.
  • Page 20 Wiring of the LED’s The LED’s operate on 5v and can be plugged directly into a spare channel on the receiver. The COB led strips run on 12v but it was found that Voltage sag during flight can cause the led strips to dim.
  • Page 21: Right Turn

    Fit the motor to the motor mount and connect to the esc. The motor mount is designed to be a relatively firm fit. Do not glue it in place, as designed as a pusher it will not fall out during flight and should be able to be removed for servicing if required.
  • Page 22 BALANCING AND CG Fit the battery using Velcro as required and balance the aircraft on the CG marking points located 125mm aft of the leading edge at the wing root. It is advisable on the first flight for the aircraft to be balanced on the cg markings, then move forward or aft as desired.
