Glue both halves of the wing together. Use the CA glue and activator to speed up the glue curing. See video guide #4 you will need: CA Glue medium viscosity + activator Snap knife, some cloth for wiping CA glue... wing L1 17g/0.6oz wing L2 19g/0.67oz wing C 12g/0.42oz wing L3 14g/0.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 5.2 Fuselage assembly You can use snap knife for cleaning the surface of printed parts (joining spots), but mostly it is not necessary. Glue fuselage parts F1-F6 with CA glue together. The new 3DLabPrint lock system will help you. Use any hot tool to cut out the hole for rubber band in F4 part (main wing join). See video guide #5 you will need: CA Glue medium viscosity + activator Snap knife, Soldering Iron or any hot tool (dremel torch) F6 8g/0.28oz F4 7g/0.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 5.3 Fuselage tail Use hot snap knife or any hot tool and cut out print bridge so the elevator can freely move (you can than cut some longitudal holes so the elevator hinges will be softer). Glue L1 and L2 parts of the stabilizer, proceede with R side and glue both sides together, then glue whole stabilizer/elevator to the fuselage. V stabilizer/rudder - cut out the bridge the same way and glue it to the fuselage.

Use a 0,6-0,8mm steel wire with L bends as a linkage between the servos and elevator/rudder control horns. See video guide #7 you will need: 2x HXT900, or opt1, opt2, opt3 or any similar 23x12x26 mm / 0.74x0.42x0.78 inches 0,6-0,8 mm steel wire for elevator and rudder pushrod Snap knife, pliers 7.

Final assembly/setting See video guide #9 you will need: Your own Rx/Tx system Rubber Band (thiny) Refer to your R/C system userguide for setup information. Install your reciever, connect battery, setup servos and etc. with your trasmitter, check servo position, then install propeller, and spinner. Never set ESC with propeller installed, this could be very dangerous! elevator rudder +6mm +10mm -4mm -10mm 9.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 10. Pilots Please Attention! Wait for a calm weather. With its 320g/11.3oz this is a very lightweight R/C Glider so We recomend to fly it only in very calm conditions (wind under 5 km/h, 3mph). You can then experiment with angle of attack by wedging the wing and shifting the Center of Gravity to achieve expected flight characteristics.
