Important note
This model is not made of styrofoam™, and it is not
possible to glue the material using white glue or epoxy.
Please be sure to use cyano-acrylate glue exclusively,
preferably in conjunction with cyano activator ("kicker").
We recommend medium-viscosity (thick) cyano. This is the
procedure with Elapor®: spray cyano activator on one face
of the joint; allow it to air-dry for around two minutes until
the surface appears to be "dry", then apply cyano adhesive
to the other face. Join the parts, and immediately position
them accurately.
Please take care when handling cyano-acrylate adhesives.
These materials harden in seconds, so don't get them on
your fingers or other parts of the body. We strongly
recommend the use of goggles to protect your eyes.
Keep the adhesive out of the reach of children!
1. Before starting construction
Please check the contents of your kit before you start
construction. You will find Figs. 1 + 2 and the Parts List helpful
here.
Completing the fuselage and tail panels
2. Preparing the "snakes"
Check the length of the elevator snake sleeves 43 and 45, and
shorten them if necessary.

necessary)
3. Installing the snakes in the fuselage shells
Important: the fuselage tail boom is considerably strengthened
and stiffened by the addition of the snake outer sleeves 43 and
44, which must be glued full-length to the shells in order to
obtain the full effect. The same applies to the aerial sleeve 47.
Check that the snakes operate smoothly and freely, and take
care not to allow glue to run into the outer sleeves.
Left-hand fuselage shell:
Install the complete elevator snake (wire rod length = 875 mm)
in the left-hand fuselage shell; the pre-formed end should be at
the front (servo end).

Position the snake outer sleeve 43 flush at the front of the
fuselage shell, as shown in Fig. 4. Lay the shell down flat and
run cyano along the whole length of the outer sleeve 43 and
the channel in the fuselage to glue the parts together strongly.

Right-hand fuselage shell:
Install the complete rudder snake (wire rod length = 875mm) in
the right-hand fuselage shell. The pre-formed end should be at
the front (servo end).

Position the snake outer sleeve 44 flush at the front of the
fuselage shell, as shown in Fig. 7. Lay the shell down flat (note
the locating spigot; place the fuselage shell over the corner of
the table) and run cyano along the whole length of the outer

4. Installing the aerial sleeve
Trial-fit the aerial sleeve 47, cut it to length and glue it in the
right-hand fuselage shell - taking care not to bend or distort the
moulding.

5. Installing the tow-hook
Glider version: glue the towhook 32 in the moulded recess in
the fuselage shell 4.

6. Installing the motor mount
Glue the motor mount 34 in the right-hand fuselage shell, and
wipe away any adhesive which is squeezed out. The exposed
face of the motor mount will later be glued when the shells are
joined; take care to keep adhesive off this area. Note that the
motor mount should also be installed in the glider version, as it
adds considerable strength.

7. Installing the servos in the fuselage shells
Set the servos to "neutral" (centre) from the transmitter, and fit
them in the moulded recesses in the left and right fuselage
shells, as shown in Fig. 11. If you are using different servos,
you may have to trim the recesses slightly to obtain a close fit.
Lay the servo leads in the channel, running from bottom to top,
and tape them in place. Apply a drop of cyano to the servo lugs to
attach them to the foam material. Connect the pre-formed ends
of the wire pushrods to the servo output arms, and push the arms
onto the servos at an angle of 90° to the servo sides (don't forget
to fit the servo output screws). Glue the plastic latch catches 22
in both fuselage sides as shown. Glue the extension leads in the
cable holders 36, positioning the ends flush as shown in the de-
tail drawing. Glue the cable holders 36 in the moulded recesses
in both fuselage sides, pushing them in as far as they will go.
Deploy the leads carefully and glue the fore-and-aft formers 37 in
place.

8. Joining the fuselage shells
The most suitable adhesive for this stage is thick cyano-acrylate,
used in conjunction with activator.
Caution: for the tuning version the balance weights 2 x 33 should
first be glued in the recesses at the tail, as shown in Fig. 12.
The first step is to check "dry" (no glue) that the fuselage shells 3
+ 4 fit together accurately; it may be necessary to carry out minor
trimming.
Spray cyano activator on the joint surfaces of the fuselage shell 4
and leave it to air-dry for about two minutes.
Apply cyano adhesive to the joint surfaces of the fuselage shell
3, then join the parts carefully, taking care to align them accurately
and immediately. Note that the fuselage joint line must be perfectly
straight - no bends allowed!

9. Installing the rudder hinge
Glue the rudder hinge 31 in the tail end of the fuselage using a
small amount of cyano. Take great care that no glue gets onto the
hinge pivot axis.

Use a sharp balsa knife to cut a central slot for the rudder hinge
31 in the leading edge of the rudder. Take care: injury hazard!
Extend the slot in the rudder 5 downward by about 3 to 4 mm, as
