Triple Neo speed r.e.s. thermic Most wood parts of this kit are laser-cut and numbered. The included stripwood can be identified using the parts list at the end of this manual. Use a sharp modeller´s knife to remove parts from laser-cut sheets. Use sandpaper to remove residue resulting from the laser-cutting process as well as retaining tabs to achieve a good surface for gluing. Always check that parts fit perfectly and correct, if necessary, before you glue.
Fuselage i To use electric power in your Triple Neo the nose of the fuselage needs to be cut off with the help of a template. For the glider version skip building steps 1-6. 1 Glue together fuselage template from parts S1-S4. Leave to dry. Slide fuselage R0 into template as shown. Please note that there is a small bump on the underside of the fuselage which fits into template exactly. R1 Run a sharp knife around the fuselage as shown to mark the cut-off line.
i To complete the next building step you will need the collet prop adapter which is available as an accessory. Make sure the prop adapter fits the prop shaft of your motor (for Order-No. see page 2). 4 Remove installing tool S7 when epoxy glue has cured. Assemble the collet adapter with prop hub yoke and temporarily install the motor into the fuselage. Install collet adapter on motor shaft and tighten nut with your fingers.
9 Glue together balsa parts R21 and plywood parts R22 to form the tailplane support. R13 R21 7 Wrap 180 grit sandpaper around the carbon fuselage tube R13 and sand tailplane support to fit carbon tube. R22 R21 Note that edges of plywood parts must not be sanded down. See enlarged graphics for correct result. This will guarantee a perfect fit on the fuselage tube. Work carefully and glue support to fuselage tube with epoxy. Make sure it is absolutely straight and horizontal.
11 Slightly sand front end of carbon tube R13. Apply epoxy resin to oblong opening in former R8. Then glue plywood ring R14 to tube and former. The tube will automatically be aligned in a perfectly horizontal position by using the templates. Leave to cure. R13 R8 R14 Apply glue to tube and fuselage 12 Bring fuselage in a vertical position and apply epoxy resin to opening in fuselage around tube.
Tail Unit 1 A flat surface or building board is required to build the tail unit. Protect building board with cling film so that tailplane parts will not stick to the surface of the building board. Remove required parts from laser sheets and glue in place as shown. L6 L7 L8 L3 L2 L4 L8 L5 L7 L1 L6 L5 L4 L3 2 Use 1-mm-balsa to sheet the tail unit. Glue laser-cut sheeting material to either side of structure and weigh down evenly to avoid warping.
3 When sheetig material has dried completely, bevel off rear edge of tailplane to allow for sufficient control throw of elevator. L1 L9 L12 4 Glue reinforcements L12 to inner edges of elevator panels. 5 Build up fin and rudder in the same way.
R24 8 Lightly sand rear end of carbon tube and glue tailplane support to carbon tube with epoxy. Use template S10 for proper alignment. See graphics for correct position of tailplane support. Glue tail skid R24 into carbon tube with epoxy. A slot in template S10 will accommodate the skid. Make sure there is room for the bowden cables in the tube on either side of the tail skid. 9 Glue the fin to the tailplane and let dry.
10 Glue control horns L24 into rudder and elevator. L24 10 Rounf off front of triangular stock L25 and glue to either side of fin. Apply covering material to the tail unit and attach rudder and elevator with hinge tape or equivalent. L25 11 Slide bowden cables R25 into carbon tube on either side of tail skid R24. Glue bowden cable outers to skid with a drop of epoxy. R24 R25 12 Install and glue part R26 to fuselage end of carbon tube between bowden cable outers R25.
