  • Page 26 FUSELAGE VARIANTS There are two fuselage variants to choose from, which differ in the way the segments are connected: classic flat connection of the elements or alignment pins. The fuselage with alignment pins can be printed in two ways, either using supports or not.
  • Page 27 TAIL VARIANTS Before starting build, choose an option for mounting the motor. There are 2 options to choose from. The first version is a tail adapted to the motor with a mounting bolt spacing of 34mm. Choose then the basic version of the FUS 5 FIREWALL file.
  • Page 28 NOSE VARIANTS There are also 2 variants of the nose. You can choose version with a VTX mounted inside and a 19x19mm FPV camera, or the version adapted for the GM3 Walksnail gimbal (or others with a similar design). The VTX mounts on a "shelf" and the available space is sufficient to accommodate any VTX.

  • Page 37 V-TAIL Take V tail parts. Glue them together and use 4mm carbon tube cut to 170mm for reinforcement. Use 20x25mm polyester hinges to assemble the rudder by gluing them into the prepared places. Secure them with a drop of thin CA glue. You can also use thin hinges made of other thin materials.
  • Page 38 V-TAIL Glue the plastic horns into the designated places in the rudders. It is best to do it with thick CA glue. You can make the pushrods yourself using a thin wire and bend it into a Z shape, or use snaps or another pushrod mounting technique.
