Assembly instructions
Before assembly
Use the list of components on page 8 and Fig. 01 + 02 to check the
completeness of the components supplied.
We recommend using a soft, clean and flat surface to ensure the model is
not damaged during assembly. Always use, unless otherwise specifically
stated Zacki ELAPOR
®
CA instant adhesive to glue the model.
1. Assembling the elevator
7
Slide the elevator
into the rear of the fuselage
fit and that it is at a right angle to the fuselage. Pull it back out again
from the rear and sand the contact surfaces slightly to ensure the
adhesive adheres better later on. Make sure it fits correctly again. If you
are satisfied, apply Zacki ELAPOR
elevator Fig. 03 . If necessary, use a paper towel to remove any excess
adhesive. Ensure that it is at a right angle to the fuselage and that the
lengths A and B are identical Fig. 04 + 05 . A little activator spray speeds
up the process.
Use the remote control to set the elevator servo to the neutral position.
Make sure the elevator flap is also in the neutral position and screw the
pushrod to the elevator horn.
2. Assembling the rudder
Proceed with the rudder in the same way as with the elevator. This means,
initially check correct fit, then sand accordingly, apply adhesive, and align
Fig. 06 . Ensure that it is also at a right angle to the fuselage Fig. 07 .
Use the remote control to set the rudder servo to the neutral position.
Make sure the rudder flap is also in the neutral position and screw the
pushrod to the rudder horn.
3. Assembling the undercarriage
⓰
Screw the undercarriage

screws
Fig. 08 .
4. Assembling the wings to the fuselage
⓬
The long CFRP tube
is the rear main spar and the short CFRP tube
⓭
is the front auxiliary spar. Slide the spars into one wing and insert it
into the fuselage. Now slide on the other wing and make sure that both
servo cables are routed upward into the fuselage Fig. 09 . To secure the
⓮
wings, insert the wing lock
from above into the slots of the two wings
Fig. 10 .
5. Assembling the propeller
⓳
Push the propeller coupling
⓲
Balance the propeller
, e.g. using the propeller balancer # 33 2355
or similar. Slide on the propeller and then the holder for the spinner
Slide on the washer and screw on the nut Fig. 11 . Tighten the nut firmly.
⓫
Finally, position the spinner

as far as possible onto the motor shaft.
on the holder.
6. Assembling the receiver
Insert the servo plugs into the receiver and use the hook and loop tape
⓴
㉑
and
to fix it to the area provided for this purpose in the fuselage
Fig. 12 . The servo plugs are labeled as follows:
1 LH aileron; 2 Elevator; 3 Rudder; 4 Motor; 5 RH aileron
7. Assembling the battery
Use the hook and loop tape
board Fig. 15 and tighten the hook and loop strap
Fig. 13 . Insert the battery into the battery rail Fig. 14 and also fix it into
position using the hook and loop tape
㉒
loop strap
. To do so, thread the hook and loop strap through the slot
in the battery board and in the Elapor and tighten firmly Fig. 15 .
8. Preflight check and center of gravity
Always check the model before flying it for the first time. Check the
following points before the initial flight:
• Rudder horns tight
• Servo screws tight (cross-head screws)
• Linkage rod tight (hex grub screws)
• Make sure the spinner is running true by rotating the propeller by hand
Position and secure the battery (3S 2600 mAh 40C) and the receiver in
the model using the hook and loop tape and strap so that the center of
gravity at the fuselage is 110 mm behind the leading edge Fig. 16 .

10. Initial flight
Carry out a range test and make sure all the rudders are running in the
correct direction and are in the neutral position. Start the model from
