11. Duct components. 12. Assembly duct components. 13. Mount the propeller onto the motor and ensure it is fully secured in place.
Page 7
14. Assemble the motor with the duct component, adjust the motor installation depth, ensuring that the propeller blades are as close to the support structure as possible and rotate freely.(Failure to position the blades close to the support will significantly decrease thrust.) Use glue to secure the motor from the rear end, as shown in the diagram.

17. Use a sharp tool (screwdriver) to score through the marked lines on the fuselage. 18. Caution: When performing scoring operations, make sure to press on the part closest to the lines to avoid tearing the components. (As shown in the diagram.)
Page 9
20. Assemble one side of the fuselage, the wooden framework, and the duct with glue.

34. Install the vertical tail fin. 35.Use stickers to conceal the vertical tail fin reinforcement. 36. Use a sharp tool (screwdriver) to score through the marked lines on the bottom of the horizontal stabilizers, allowing the elevator to move freely along the lines on both sides.
Page 15
37. Install the horizontal stabilizers. 38. Use a sharp tool (screwdriver) to score along the wing's marked line, allowing the wing to fold downward along the center longitudinal line to form the airfoil. 39. Use a sharp tool (screwdriver) to score along the aileron's marked line, allowing the aileron to move up and down along the line.

40. Install the wings. 41. Trim the excess portions of the vacuum-formed canopy as shown in the diagram. It is advisable to make a conservative initial cut, place the canopy on the fuselage for alignment, and then proceed with precise adjustments. 42.
Page 17
43. Glue the canopy onto the fuselage at the corresponding location. 44. Apply stickers to the canopy. 45. Install the aileron control horns.
Page 18
46. Install the elevator control horns. 47. Retrieve two 65mm carbon rods for use as aileron control rods. Cut four pieces of heat shrink tubing, each 5mm in length, to connect the aileron control rods and the wire clamp heads.
Page 19
48. Use heat shrink tubing to connect the control rods and servo wire clamp heads, then apply 502 glue for fixation. 49. Install the connection hooks on the aileron control horns. 50. Insert the wire clamp heads into the fuselage, and attach them onto the aileron servo arms.
Page 20
51. Use heat shrink tubing to connect the aileron control rods to the connection hooks, then apply 502 glue for fixation.
Page 21
53. Retrieve two 155mm carbon rods for use as elevator control rods. Cut four pieces of heat shrink tubing, each 5mm in length, to connect the elevator control rods and the wire clamp heads. 54. Use heat shrink tubing to connect the control rods and servo wire clamp heads, then apply 502 glue for fixation.
Page 22
55. Cut out the top operation window cover to facilitate the installation of the horizontal tail fin control rod. Install the rod clamp head onto the tail servo arm. 56. Install the connection hooks on the elevator control horns. 57. Use heat shrink tubing to connect the control rods to the connection hooks, then apply 502 glue for fixation.
Page 23
58. Paste carbon rods at the wing folding line to increase its strength. Paste control horn guards in front of the control horns. 60. Apply the operation window sticker.

61. Place the battery at the front of the fuselage. Use Velcro to secure the counterweight iron plates on the inner wall of the nose for center of gravity adjustment. Assembly complete!
Maiden flight ·The center of gravity of the aircraft is located 5mm in front of the wing spar. ·Usually 1-2 counterweight iron plates need to be installed. ·The active range of ailerons and elevators are 3mm on both sides. ·Choose grass land for maiden flight...
