shirt or jacket pockets into the prop. Always remove the LiPo battery from the plane before charging. Always use a charger designed to charge LiPo
batteries for charging the LiPo flight battery. Never leave the LiPo battery unattended while charging. If the battery becomes more than just warm,
discontinue charging.

    Notes about the laser cut parts 1...The first thing that you need to do is to identify and mark the part numbers on the laser cut parts using the drawings on the following pages as a guide. 2...It is possible that several of the laser cut parts may not be completely cut through. If this is the case you can free the part from the sheet quickly using an X-acto knife.

  • Page 4: Building Instructions

    Building Instructions: General Note: Cover the plans with wax paper before assembling your model to prevent the parts from sticking to the plan. Building the Tail Surfaces: 1...Glue R-1 and R-2 together. Glue R-3 and R-4 together. Sand the outside edges round. Leave the fuselage edges square. Bevel the front edge of R-5 as shown on the plan, and sand the other edges round.
  • Page 5 5...Lightly tack glue formers F-3 , F-4, F-5 and F-6 into position on the right fuselage side. Use a small square to position these parts 90 degrees to the fuselage side. 6...Place the left fuselage side into position and square up the fuselage. Glue the left fuselage to the formers.
  • Page 6 10...Place the landing gear wire into the fuselage tightly against the front of F-3. Glue securely into position. Flush 11...Glue parts F-9L and F-9R into position. These parts should be flush with the notches in the fuselage side. 12...Glue F-10 into position. It should fit down into the notches in parts F-2 and F-9.
  • Page 7 15...Glue F-13 to the top of the fuselage. Slightly wet the outside of the part to allow it to curve / bend easier. 16...Pull and glue the rear of the fuselage sides together. 17...Slide former F-14 into position. Adjust the back end until the fuselage is straight and square.
  • Page 8 20...Glue F-16 into position on the bottom rear of the fuselage. 21...Glue F-17 into position on the top of the fuselage. Building the Hatch: 22...Glue parts H-2, H-3 and H-4 into position on the hatch (H-1) using the laser marking as a guide. Glue parts H-5 and H-6 together. Make sure that they are 90 degrees to each other.
  • Page 9: Building The Wing

    25...Test fit the hatch to the bottom of the fuselage. The front tab (H-2) slides under part F-11. Slide the hatch slider forward and press the back end of the hatch down on the fuselage. Move the slider back to insert it into the slot in former F-6. You can trim the outside edges of H-2 to center the front of the hatch if required.
  • Page 10 31...Slide the lower 1/16” x 1/2” trailing edge into position in the slots between the ribs and their support tabs. After making sure that it is positioned properly, glue to the ribs. 32...Glue the 3/32” x 3/16” top spar and the 1/4” sq. leading edge into position.
  • Page 11 36...Use two of the 1/32” x 1 1/2” sheets to sheet the center of the wing. The sheet should be cut to fit between the spars as shown on the plan. 37...Glue W-10 into position to the spar and rib W-3. 38...Remove the wing from the plan.
  • Page 12 41...Glue two W-11 ribs to the end of the wing. 42...Sand the leading edge round to match the profile shown on the plan. Now sand the wing smooth all over. 43...Now repeat steps 27 thru 42 to build the left wing. 44...Sand the back edges and the ends of the ailerons round.
