  • Page 29 NOSE VARIANTS There are 2 variants of the nose. You can choose version with a VTX mounted inside and a 19x19mm FPV camera, or a clean version with just the FPV camera. The VTX mounts on a "shelf" and the available space is sufficient to accommodate any VTX.
  • Page 30 TAIL VARIANTS There are two tail options to choose from. You can select the version with a designed slot for the 2812 ARM LED or without it. Additionally, you can choose whether you want to route the wires through the hole at the back of the tail or thread them through the holes designed near the servos.
  • Page 31 WINGLET VARIANTS There are also 2 versions of winglets. One with a space for 2812 ARM LED and a cover printed from transparent material, or a regular version without a navigation light. USER MANUAL...

  • Page 33: Fuselage Assembly

    Fuselage Assembly Prepare all fuselage segments. Before gluing, you can gently sand the surface of all elements, especially the gluing surfaces. It’s best to use thick CA glue. If you printed the fuselage segments divided to left and right side, simply glue them together also.
  • Page 34 Fuselage Assembly Prepare parts printed with PET-G or other hard material. Take the BATTERY PAD and paste it in the designated place in the front of the fuselage. Take FUS ROOT and glue with CA to the fuselage in the corresponding places. It’s best to use thick CA glue.
  • Page 35 Fuselage Assembly M3 Threaded Insert Take the TAIL BOOM MOUNT printed with PETG or another rigid material and paste it into the designated slot. This component reinforces the section of the fuselage to which the tail boom will be attached. From the bottom of the fuselage, insert the M3 threaded insert, which will be used for securing the tail boom to the fuselage with a screw.
  • Page 36 Fuselage Assembly Now take M3 threaded inserts with an outer diameter of 5mm. Glue them into the designated places in the front part of the fuselage. You can use a slightly heated soldering iron for this. Then glue NOSE REINFORCEMENT printed with PETG or other hard material.
  • Page 37: Tail Assembly

    Tail Assembly Now, take the tail components and assemble them. Choose the version with NO LED and decide whether you will route the cables through the rear tail opening or press them inside near the servos. Take the BOOM TAIL MOUNT printed with PETG or another rigid material and glue it inside the tail at the designated location.
  • Page 38 Tail Boom Drilling Now, prepare the parts for tail boom drilling printed with PETG or another rigid material. Take the tail boom, which is a carbon tube with a diameter of 16mm cut to a length of 435mm. Insert the tube into the printed parts all the way, ensuring a tight fit.
  • Page 39 Tail Assembly Now, take the servos and place them in the designated locations. Press the servo cables into the openings designed for them. If you are also installing LED, route the wire from the LED at this stage as well. Glue the servos in place using hot glue. Finally, insert all the wires into the tail boom and push it all the way in.
  • Page 40 Tail Assembly Prepare the V-tail components. Take carbon tubes with a diameter of 4mm cut to approximately 260mm. Insert the tubes into the designated slots. Note that the tubes are not parallel to each other. To facilitate easy assembly, insert one tube first, then fit stabilizer, and glue it in place to tail base.
  • Page 41 Tail Assembly Finally, you can screw in the screw securing the tailboom. In the picture, you can see the version with hidden wires inside the tail structure and the LED in place. This solution, of course, allows for the disassembly of the entire tail boom USER MANUAL...
  • Page 42 Hatches Take the hatches parts and assemble them. Insert LOCK 1 LOCK 2. Assemble it, adding a small spring, and glue it in the designated place. Use a small amount of CA glue, but be careful not to spill the glue and block the lock.
  • Page 43 Nose Mount Now you can mount the nose with short M3 screws. If you are using version with VTX, you can put your VTX on the "shelf" and cover it with NOSE VTX COVER and secure the antenna. USER MANUAL...
  • Page 44 Tail Assembly Securing the tailboom with M3 screws. Now you can assemble the entire fuselage by connecting it to the tail. Insert the tailboom into the fuselage, route the tail wires, and secure it with an M3 screws USER MANUAL...
  • Page 45: Wings Assembly

    Wings Assembly Glue the wing segments together. At this stage, choose which winglet you want to use, whether with navigation lights or without. Insert a 6mm carbon tube cut to a length of 430mm. There is no need to glue the tube, just insert it into the designed slot USER MANUAL...
  • Page 46 Wings Assembly Finally, install the WING ROOT printed from PETG or another rigid material. In the lower part, there are designed slots for regular M3 nuts, which will be responsible for attaching the wings to the fuselage. Insert them there and secure using a few drops of CA glue. Then, glue the root to the wing.
  • Page 47 Wings Assembly Insert the aileron using 25x30mm polyester hinges or ones made from another material, similar to the elevator. Then, using a slightly heated soldering iron, attach M3 threaded inserts designed for servo cover mounting. Set the servo so that the control horn protrudes through the opening in the servo cover, glue it in place using hot glue, and cover it.
  • Page 48 Wings Assembly Prepare the motor and the motor mount printed in PETG. There are two versions available for T MOTOR F60 and F90 motors. The assembly is secured to the wing using two M3 screws, one from the top and one from the bottom. To do this, attach M3 threaded inserts to the motor mount.
  • Page 49 Wings Assembly If you have chosen the version of the winglet with an LED, place it in the designated area. LEDs 2812 ARM work well for this purpose, and you can attach them, with strong double-sided foam tape. Inside the winglet, there is a channel through which the wire should be routed.
  • Page 50 Wings Assembly Now, insert carbon tubes: 10x800mm and 8x600mm. These are the main wing spars. Slide the wings in and push them against the fuselage. Thread all cables through the designed channels and lead them into the fuselage. USER MANUAL...
  • Page 51 Wings Assembly M3 screws The wing assembly is simple and quick. After pushing the wings against the fuselage, screw in two M3 screws into the designated places. The screws are anchored in PETG-printed material, making the system durable and resistant to repeated wing disassembly USER MANUAL...
  • Page 52 Finishing Build Now, organize the rest of the equipment. The Battery Pad can accommodate large batteries, even 4S6P Li-Ion. Of course, you can also use smaller batteries also. Use of the recommended motors ensures very good performance and a long flight time. The choice of is up to you: T Motor F-60 motors and 7x5 propellers, along with a 4S battery, are sufficient to ensure stable flight at around 40% throttle.
  • Page 53: Before Flight

    Before Flight The model is ready to fly. Before flying, take care of the correct balance, which is 60 mm from the leading edge (at wing root). Check the correct operation of the ailerons and rudders and the direction of propeller rotation.
