Because of the simple construction, it is possible to produce the model very quickly.
Only little grinding work is required.
To build the model you need usual model construction tools:
●
Balsa knife,
●
Sanding block with sandpaper 100 and 400 grid,
●
Jigsaw with metal blade,
●
File, rasp,
●
Drill,
●
Pliers,
●
Scissors,
●
Needles, clamps and weights,
●
and a balsa plane is also useful.
An even stable board approx. 30cm x 100cm is required as construction pad.
For a finish with covering film is an iron, a pair of scissors and a sharp razor
necessary. A long steel ruler is helpful.
For the assembly and finish you need:
●
Superglue low viscosity appr. 20 gr and activator,
●
5 minutes epoxy,
●
Wood glue,
●
Covering film appr. 2 m*0,6 m,
●
Scotch tape 15 mm wide
for flying you need:
●
a remote control with a minimum of three channels
●
2 servos appr. 10 gr
●
1 Servo appr. 5 gr

Slightly trim weight may also be necessary and tape is required to secure the outer

For the high Start a suitable high starting rubber with cord, ground anchors, ring
and a little flag is used. The launch system will develop no more than 4kg force.
