For either design you can use foam safe glue to attach the 
wing to the wing brace mount. 
 
 
 

 
In the kit there are three body former sticks. Take your time and work very carefully with these sticks. They are made 
to be light and are therefore fragile. The two longer sticks need to be cut to lengths of 20cm and 19.7cm. The slightly 
shorter one will be the bottom body former and the shorter length will give the prop mount a small amount of down 
thrust.  
Use the diagram below as a guide to construct the body. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 

The tail surface mounts are used to attach the tailplane and 
vertical stabiliser as shown here. Take your time and work 
the parts into place. You may find it easier to spread the 
gaps a bit before inserting the foam surfaces. 
 
 
 
 

 
Use sand paper to round off the edges of the front face of 
the propeller blades. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The propeller blades can then be stuck on to the propeller 
arms with the provided doubles sided tape.

Summary of Contents for SloFly

Page 1: ...p Skill Level Required Intermediate The SloFly is not a snap together kit There is a degree of trimming and gluing to be done to construct the body formers and wings as well as sanding of the prop blades Finally test gliding and trimming is required to produce a good flight path This involves adjusting the position of the centre of balance increasing down thrust on prop and adjusting the incidence...
