Page 3: Pre-Assembly Processes
Pre-Assembly Processes There are some pre-processes that need to go through before assembling commenced. Once completed, the assembling processes should go without any tolerance and clearance issues. Here are the processes: Cleaning and clearing tolerance processes. Making sure/checking the parts just fit in. Use the following tools: 2.1.
Page 4 OWLplane.com Checking Tolerance (Making Sure it fits) Once you have done cleaning and clearing tolerance processes, need to make sure that now it fits each other when assembling. 15mm and 30mm Pins Clearance Have two options, either utilizing fiber carbon or 3D printed one.

Page 6: Finding And Checking Pin Position
OWLplane.com Finding and Checking Pin Position The objective of using pins is to make the assembly processes run smoothly (fit in correctly). The process of finding and checking pin position is to make sure that the pins are well installed/used.

Page 12: Stabilizer And Control Surface Assembly
OWLplane.com Stabilizer And Control Surface Assembly All stabilizers and control surfaces are designed to use guide or alignment tools. Please find detail below explaining about pin and rod as guide and/or alignment. Preparing Pin and Rods You may need to prepare different size rod ranging from 1.0 mm to 2.0mm OD. Mostly it will fit into with 1.5mm rod size but in some cases (usually when using higher hotend temperature, it only fits with 1.0mm rod).

Guide and Alignment Tools and Mechanism Try to understand the relationship among parts by watching provided animation and assembly videos. Once you understood the relationship, the next step is to try identifying the pin locations. Identify Pin Location The two figures on the right side show how to ▷...
Page 14: Gluing Two Parts
OWLplane.com Gluing Two Parts Use thick CA for bonding two parts. ▷ Press firmly so that there is no gap between joining surface. ▷ Use CA accelerator right after joining (faster cure time). ▷ Good practice if you coat the joining surface area with thin CA so that it will add more bonding strength.

Page 18: Gears And Wheels Assembly
OWLplane.com Gears And Wheels Assembly Like fuselage and wings, gears also use pins as guide and/or alignment. Please start with assembling gears followed by assembling wheels. Preparing Gears and Wheels To cut the required shaft, you may use dremel tool/rotary saw (or similar tool).
Page 19: Assembling Gears And Wheels
The shaft diameter depends on how big is the wheel and also the total weight of the plane (just follow ▷ information in the specific OWLplane Model web page under PRODUCTS tab for the specification). Print Your Plane As Many As You Like...

Page 22: Servo Assembly
Servo Assembly All OWLplane Models use 3D printed servo cover and bridge so that it opens any other brand servos. Exception is only applied for some conditions where implementing servo cover or bridge is not practical (for example, VJet OWL stabilizer servos, located at the back of the plane, it has fixed position and also OWL MDM-1 Fox rudder servo).
Page 23: Installing And Assembling Servo And Push Rod Using Servo Cover
Installing and Assembling Servo and Push Rod using Servo Cover Depending on the servo dimension, select suitable thin or thick double tape to fit in. The double tape is to ▷ make sure that the servo is firm in its position. Stop collar is used to put pushrod in fixed position.
Page 24: Installing And Assembling Servo And Push Rod Using Servo Bridge
OWLplane.com Installing and Assembling Servo and Push Rod Using Servo Bridge Just put the servo into the servo bridge location in the fuselage. ▷ Use heated rod to create guided holes to insert the servo screws. ▷ Stop collar is used to put pushrod in fixed position.
