Glider version only
Figs. 7 - 9
- Glue the glider nose to the fuselage using silicone sealant. This
type of joint can be released at any time, giving you the opportu-
nity re-equip the model as an electric glider.
Fig. 10
- Fix the receiver battery in the fuselage nose using Velcro (hook-
and-loop) tape (not included).
Electric glider version only
Fig. 11
- The components of the electric power set.
Fig. 12
- Glue together the two motor bulkheads S5 with their edges flush.
- Fix the motor to the bulkhead using M4 x 10 screws and 4.3 Ø x
8 Ø x 0.5 mm washers.
Fig. 13
- Place the motor assembly in the fuselage nose.
Fig. 14
- Slide the jig former "H" onto the motor.
Fig. 15
- Screw the aluminium part of the spinner to the motor.
Fig. 16
- Align the jig former and the aluminium spinner component with
the fuselage nose, and press the parts together lightly. In this
position wrap paper masking tape round the spinner, lining it up
accurately with the fuselage nose.
Fig. 17
- Glue the battery stop-piece S6 to the battery tray, keeping it at
right-angles.
Fig. 18
- Fit the battery tray S7 in the fuselage, engaging the front tongue
in the slot in the motor bulkhead S5.
- Align the motor bulkhead and the battery tray accurately in the
fuselage, and tack them in place with a little epoxy.
- Allow the glue to set hard, then undo the spinner and remove the
motor; the jig former "H" is no longer needed.
- Glue the wooden parts to the fuselage, taking care to produce
strong joints.

Assembly and operating instructions

Fig. 19
- Glue the motor bulkhead securely to the fuselage, working from
the front.
Both versions
Installing the rudder
Fig. 20
- Locate the 2 Ø x 435 mm hinge pivot rod and bend the final 15
mm at right-angles.
Fig. 21
- Cut down the rudder horn (ring-screw) to a length of 15 mm.
Fig. 22
- Locate the 1400 mm long rudder pushrod, bend the final 7 mm
at right-angles at the tail end, and slip it into the snake outer.
Fig. 23
- Screw the horn into the rudder; it should project by 7 mm.
Connect the pushrod to the rudder horn.
- Attach the rudder to the fin by sliding the pivot rod into place.
Once the rudder has been installed permanently, the angled end
of the pivot rod should be secured on the underside of the fuse-
lage with a strip of adhesive tape.
Fig. 24
- Glue the prepared RC installation frame, complete with servo
and switch, in the fuselage at the marked point.
- Set the rudder and servo to centre from the transmitter.
- Cut the pushrod to length, taking into account the depth of the
socket in the threaded coupler. Solder the coupler to the pus-
hrod, then connect the clevis to the servo output arm.
Figs. 25 and 26
- Temporarily remove the rudder prior to installing the tailplane
panels.
Note: each elevator is actuated by its own servo. The servos are
connected to separate receiver channels using two extension
leads.
- Mark the position of the openings for the sockets of the 1.5 m
long servo extension leads.
Since space is limited, the socket openings must be offset rela-
tive to each other. The arrows indicate the forward direction.

Figs. 27 and 28
- Cut the rectangular openings required.
Fig. 29
- Roughen the extension lead sockets with abrasive paper.
- Thread the extension leads through the fuselage before gluing
the sockets in place from the inside of the fin.
Fig. 30
- Carefully mask off the fin on both sides at the wing retainer posi-
tion using clear adhesive tape.
- Locate the wing retainer component which fits in the tailplane
panel, and push it into the fin-mounted component until it enga-
ges fully.
- Insert the carbon fibre tailplane joiner rods.
Fig. 31
- Apply epoxy to the socket in the tailplane root for the wing retai-
ner, and to the retainer itself. Push the tailplane panel into place,
check that there are no gaps, then leave the adhesive to cure
fully.
- Carefully prise the tailplane panel away from the fin, and check
that the retainer component is glued permanently in the tailplane.
- Repeat the procedure with the second tailplane panel.
Fig. 32
- Mark the position of the extension lead sockets on the root face
of the left-hand tailplane panel.
Figs. 33 and 34
- Mark the position of the extension lead socket on the root face
of the right-hand tailplane panel - note the offset relative to the
left-hand socket.
- Carefully cut out the openings along the marked lines.
Fig. 35
- Servo and fittings for one tailplane panel.
Fig. 36
- Cut down the elevator horn (ring-screw) to a length of 15 mm.
Fig. 37
- Set the elevator servo to centre from the transmitter, cut down
the output arm as shown and fit it on the servo output shaft.
- The length of the servo output arm must be 11 mm.
- Place the servo in the mounting frame.
- Glue the servo assembly in the tailplane panel, drawing the lead
No.
