Before assembly
Check the contents of the kit. The
Fig. 01 + 02
and the parts list are
helpful.
1. Piercing the cable ducts through to the fuselage
Use a punch, a round le or a screwdriver to pierce the fuselage for
cables and the spar. To do so, place the model on its back and insert
and rotate the punch starting at the cable duct. Remove any loose foam
particles.
Fig. 03
2. Further preparations
For both rudders, prepare the glue-in rudder horns
㉔
for installation.
Fig. 04
To do so, insert the pushrod connector
㉕
into the outermost hole of the
rudder horn and assemble it together with the washer
㉖
and the nut
㉗
. Caution: Secure the nuts additionally with a drop of paint or instant
adhesive.
For safety reasons, apply instant adhesive with a pin only.
Pre-assemble the hexagon socket set screw
㉘
. Apply Zacki ELAPOR
®
in the "pockets" for the rudder horns, insert the rudder horns and allow
the adhesive to set.
Caution:
Adhesive may spray out during insertion - Wear safety goggles!
3. Installing the servos
Set the servos to neutral using a servo tester or remote control. The servo
arms should be positioned at 90° to the servo (correct if necessary).
Insert hot glue into the slits for the servo aps and immediately press the
servos into the recesses. If required, apply more glue into any remaining
slits on the aps. Then cut off any protruding hot glue ush and lay the
servo cables.

4. Putting the rudder into operation
Use a cutter according to
Fig. 06
to open up the lateral rudder gap - it
should be approx. 1 mm wide. Then move back and forth several times
to ensure the hinge is working properly. Make sure not to overstretch
the rudders and do not tear them off! Working range approx. +/- 45°.

5. Installing the spar and glue the outer wings to the middle
section
Push the spar
⓾
sideways through the fuselage and position it in the middle.
Glue it into position later on.
Fig. 08
6. Gluing the outer wings to the inner section
Adjust the external parts and glue into position with Zacki ELAPOR
®
.
Route the servo cable. Seal the cable ducts with transparent adhesive
tape. Also fasten the servo cables in the fuselage to ensure they are not
in the way when changing the battery later on.
Fig. 08
7. Gluing the spar
Check carefully that the wing is straight and not twisted against the
fuselage. The CFRP spar
⓾
must be positioned free of tension in its
shaft. Apply viscous Zacki ELAPOR
®
along the spar. Make sure the wing
is not subjected to any load for several minutes. Before the adhesive sets,
check and make sure the wing is positioned correctly.
8. Rudder rods
Hook the rudder rods
㉚
with Z-bend into the innermost hole of the servo
arm. On the rudder side, attach the rods to the pushrod connector
㉕
using the hexagon socket screw (M3)
㉘
and the hex wrench
㉙
, the
rudder must be set to neutral. Use adhesive tape or pieces of lm of the
decal sheet to afx the servo hoods
㉛
left and
㉜
right and to seal the
servo cable shafts.
Alternatively, the servo hoods can also be xed into position using Zacki
ELAPOR
®
. (Service access for the servo).

9. Inserting the counterholder for the canopy lock
Coat the locking clips
㉒
with Zacki ELAPOR
®
and insert in the correct
position.
Fig. 10
10. Gluing the canopy glass
Glue the canopy glass
⓬
into position either with Zacki ELAPOR
®
or
UHU adhesive spray.
When using Zacki ELAPOR
®
, only apply a small amount of adhesive
close to the edge (note: after application, it is no longer possible to correct
the position). Alternatively, use adhesive spray.

11. Sealing the back of the fuselage
Before sealing the fuselage, glue the cable protection
㊴
into the slot
provided in the fuselage cover. Adjust the fuselage cover
4
in conjunction
with the canopy
5
. Mark the positions and glue the fuselage cover
4
to the fuselage
3
.
Fig. 11
Apply adhesive to the closure plugs
㉓
on the gear teeth and press them
ush into the canopy
5
up to the end of the gear teeth.
After the adhesive has set, test and allow the canopy to engage.

Caution:
Be sure to glue the fuselage cover carefully to the fuselage,
this is the only way to guarantee the necessary structural strength.
