The flight surfaces for this glider are made from very thin
light weight foam. If any of the surfaces have become
creased bent in transit, you can flatten them with a “warm”
iron. Sandwich the foam between two pieces of paper on
a flat surface and quickly rub them with a warm iron to
flatten. Note that the main wing section has a deliberate
crease. Do not iron this out.
You will need to trim the tabs from the wing and wing tip
sections as shown here. Trim straight on the main wing
section and follow the angle when you trim the leading
edge of the wing tip
Use foam safe glue to glue on the wing tips. Try to use as
little glue as possible. The angle on the wing tip piece
when joined to the main wing will give a natural dihedral.
We recommend using UHU POR Expanded Polystyrene for
gluing the foam parts.
For the
Low Wing design
the wing brace parts are glued
together as shown here and the two rubber pieces can be
rolled onto the body former sticks to hold the wing brace
in place while you do test flying. After test flying is
completed the wing brace can be glued in place.
For the
High Wing design
the wing brace parts are glued
together as shown here and the two plastic struts are used
attach the brace to the body former stick.
