Assembly procedure:
All larger EPP (Expanded Poly-Propylene) parts are to be glued by the following procedure:
Apply the PU glue to one of the surfaces to be joined and only in the center of the part - approx. 8-10
mm from the outside perimeter of the part shall not be covered with the PU glue to avoid the PU glue
foaming out of the surface and making the joint less attractive. Then put both glued parts together,
align them and fix together with pins. When both surfaces match each other, apply thin CA glue to the
whole outside perimeter of the joint and use CA activator. The CA glue prevents the PU glue to foam
out of the joint.
Fuselage
:
The electronic parts shall be placed according the picture. The receiver behind the cockpit, the motor
Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) between the wing and the engine cowling and the servos for the
rudder and elevator in the cockpit. The opening for the battery shall be made after the whole model is
finished to maintain the correct position of the Center of Gravity (CG).
Draw a center line on the horizontal stabilizer.
Cut a piece of the carbon strip (stringer) 3x0,5
mm to the length of approx. 280 mm.
Cut a slot into the center of the elevator on the
bottom side for the fiberglass control horn and
glue it in place using thin CA.
Cut a slot for the carbon strip into the horizontal
stabilizer, approx. 10 mm parallel to the
elevator “hinge” (using a sharp knife), press the
carbon strip in the slot on an even surface and
check, if the horizontal stabilizer is straight and
glue the carbon strip using thin CA.
