Fuselage assembly Prepare all fuselage segments. Before gluing, you can gently sand the surface of all elements, especially the gluing surfaces. Prepare the right amount of joiners printed from a hard material such PLA or PET-G. The joiners fit into the prepared holes in each of the fuselage segments First, glue the...

Threaded Inserts Now you can take the M3 threaded inserts and push them into the designated places on the front on the side of fuselage It’s best to take a slightly heated soldering iron and press the inserts with it. For additional reinforcement, you can use CA glue.
Wings assembly Glue all wing elements together with thick CA glue. Use the same joiners as for the fuselage. For additional strength, you can glue carbon rods into the prepared channels. Press the threaded inserts in the same way as in the fuselage. The hinges of the aileron should preferably be polyester with dimensions of 20x25mm.

Wings assembly Attach the servo to the wing. It should fit very well and tightly to the designed place. Use some hot glue to stick them on. There is a channel in the wing that leads the servo cable to the fuselage. It is sized to fit a standard servo plug.

Wings assembly Route the servo cable to the extension channel in the fuselage. If there are difficulties, you can push the cable through with a thin screwdriver. If you have too short servo cable, you may need to connect extension cables to them in the fuselage or extend the cables before.
Motor installation Now glue the firewall with thick CA glue. Then screw the motor to the frame and screw it to firewall with M3 screws. Place the nuts on the inside of the fuselage. You can get there through the rear hatch.

Action cam installation Now insert the camera into the DJI ACTION 2 Mount and screw it in the nose of the fuselage using short M3 screws if you chose the type of nose without a camera, of course you can skip this step USER MANUAL...
Electronics installation Finally, you can start assembling the electronics. The front part of the fuselage is wide enough to accommodate 3700mah 4s batteries horizontally. It is best to fix it with battery straps using the battery pad. Move the battery to achieve proper balance. In the center of the fuselage it is best to place the flight controller if you are using and the receiver.

Electronics installation This version is prepared for Walksnail Avatar HD NANO KIT. Solution prepared here fits perfectly for this option. During assembly you have only to unclip the coaxial cable and the antennas to lead them along the channels prepared. Versions for DJI FPV and Analog will be ready soon If you chose non FPV version, skip this step.
Center of Gravity After placing all the equipment, measure 235mm from the nose and mark the center of gravity there. Support the plane at this point and check if it is in balance. If not, adjust the position of the battery and balance the model accordingly. Correct center of gravity is very important before a flight Check CG...
