Check which way round the servo should go by sighting the servo control rod hole on 

Fuselage 4. 

-

Fuselage 4, 5 

include a 3mm carbon rod, which also goes into 

fuselage 3. 

Dry fit these pieces 

together to check the length of the rod then glue them together. It is also a good idea to 
connect the servo wire to the rudder servo at the same time, running it through to the 
tail, you can cut the rudder end to size later. 

-

Glue

 Fin 1 

and 

Fin 2

 to the tail. Put the rudder section in place and run the rudder hinge 

up into the Fin. You can then glue on the 

Rudder Bottom

 part. The tail wheel arm is 

attached with a 2mm pice of wire you could you coat hanger. You may need to drill out 
the holes to fit. Depending on the expansion of your filament you may need to sand down 
the tail wheel arm to ensure it moves OK. Add a small rubber band for suspension.  

-

To complete the fuselage attach your motor, its a good idea to feed your ESC’c wire 
through the front of the fuselage to connect it up. Once you’re happy with the motor 
mounting you can glue on the cowling. 

-

The wings are assembled around carbon tubes. Due to blobs and stringing you may need 
to use an appropriately sized drill bit to clean out the holes. I have found it is a good idea 
to do this with he drill bit in hand rather than attached to a drill. 

-

In fuselage 1 and 3 you need to insert the carbon tubes to act as sleeves for the spars. It is 
a 10mm OD (outside diameter), 8mm ID (inside diameter) tube. Insert the full length 
tube first and mark out where you need to cut it to be flush with the fuselage. The canard 
wings can remain removable by drilling a small hole through the carbon sleeve and wing 
spar at the appropriate points on the bottom of the fuselage with the wing in place. Small 
screw then hold the canard in position during flight. The aft wing is currently not 
removable and should be glued. 

-

Both wings utilise a 3mm carbon tube for the control surface hinge. They also stop the 
wing from turning by reaching into the fuselage. Due to the angles the aft wing rear spar 
can only reach 5mm-10mm or so into the fuselage and needs a bit of help to get it in 
place.
