BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS FUSELAGE ASSEMBLY Join the fuselage halves together. Make sure you have a left and a right hand side. Glue A20 (stiffener) on the nose, make sure you have a left and a right hand side. Glue A17, A18, A19 together as per photos below. - Page 6 Install the formers to the fuselage. A44 needs to be chamfered. Glue 6x8mm balsa strips to the horizontal tail mounting position for reinforcement. Install the fuselage lateral boards.
- Page 7 Install plywood A53 to the bottom of the fuselage. Install plywood to the upper fuselage. Glue 10x10mm pine strips on the fuselage bulkhead A43, A45 for reinforcement.
- Page 8 Glue pine strips to the landing gear mounting position for reinforcement.
- Page 9 Glue the motor mount, reinforce it with triangular pine wood. Glue the servo mounts and install the PVC tubes for the push rods. Assemble and glue the upper fuselage formers. Install the formers to the fuselage.
- Page 10 Glue plywood stringers to connect the formers. Glue 6x8mm balsa strips on both sides of the formers and remove excess parts.
- Page 11 Stack and glue 8mm balsa on the tail of the fuselage and sand it to shape. Cut off any excess to allow room for the elevator to move up and down.
- Page 12 Glue fuselage top deck (1mm plywood). Glue the formers of the hatch, glue the mount A12 of the hatch latch, then glue A12B to A12 and sand the protruding part into an arc in order to glue the hatch cover in the next step. Glue the top deck (1mm plywood) for the hatch and install the latch locks.
- Page 13 Glue pine wood strips for hinges reinforcement. Drill hole in former for the hatch latch. Fill the front with 8mm balsa and sand to shape...
- Page 14 Assemble the radiator and attach it to the front. Fix the front to the fuselage with self-tapping screws. Cut off the excess of the pine strips according to the shape on the drawing. Epoxy wood parts together. Install the metal brackets and use self-tapping screws to fix the cross bar after bending. 1) A bevel needs to be cut out where the undercarriage meets the fuselage.
- Page 15 Bend the metal mounting brackets and fix the undercarriage to the fuselage with self-tapping screws. Assemble the landing gear axle, wrap and fix with rubber bands. Make bracing wires to brace the undercarriage.
- Page 16 Assemble the centre of the upper wing with the carbon tubes. Glue assembly to lower wing sheeting. Glue pine blocks to strengthen fixing points. Glue 8x8mm balsa strips to the leading edge, then glue the top sheeting in place.
- Page 17 Align the middle wing with the drawing and mark the mounting positions. Bend metal brackets and attach to the middle wing with self tapping screws. Assemble the aligning frame (for positioning the middle of the top wing) and fix it to the fuselage with self tapping screws.
- Page 18 Glue the centre of the upper wing to the fuselage. Connect the struts ensuring everything is centered. Fix in place with the metal brackets. The aligning frame can now be removed.

Page 19: Wings Assembly
WINGS ASSEMBLY Assemble the wing ribs, spars and trailing edges according to the drawing. Use the template to set the dihedral angle on the first rib. Then install the PVC tubes for carbon tubes. Make sure the carbon tubes can move inside the PVC tubes freely. 2) Glue 8x8mm balsa strips to the leading edge. - Page 20 Cut excess wing spar at the wing tip (X). Install B16 and B14 wing ribs, and glue wing tip plywood B17. Glue balsawood on the wing ribs for additional strength when covering.
- Page 21 Glue pine to the joint of the wing beam for reinforcement. Glue the mounts for the aileron servos. Glue 10x10mm balsa strips on the trailing edge of the wings and sand flush with ribs. Fix metal brackets with self tapping screws.

Page 22: Tail Assembly
TAIL ASSEMBLY Assemble ailerons over plan and add pine strengthening strips Glue 8mm balsa strips on leading edge and sand it into V shape. - Page 23 Bend and fix the metal bracket to the trailing edge using a self tapping screw. Assemble the horizontal tail over the plan.
- Page 24 Assemble the elevator over the plan.
- Page 25 Assemble the rudder tail over the plan. Assemble the fin over the plan.

Page 26: Final Assembly
FINAL ASSEMBLY Make the wing strut according to the shape of the drawing, and the steel wire needs to be fixed with glue. Install metal brackets in marked locations on the fuselage. Assemble bracing wires. - Page 27 Drill 2mm holes at both ends of the strips, insert the 2mm steel wire and fix it with glue. Then connect the upper and lower ailerons with quick fitting joints. Installing the bracing wires...
