•
Do not be tempted to exceed the recommended operating voltage. Higher voltages may cause the motor to
overheat, and the electrical cables may even melt. If this should happen, the model could easily be ruined
or even catch fire.
•
Ensure that all the power system components are free-moving.
•
Check that your servos are not mechanically obstructed at any point in their full travel.
•
Dry cells and rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited - fire hazard.
•
Allow the motor and speed controller to cool off after every flight. Take care not to touch the hot parts.
•
Remove the rechargeable battery if the model is to be transported, or will not be used for a long period.
•
Do not subject the model to high levels of humidity, heat, cold or dirt, and never leave it in a hot car in the
Summer.
•
Secure the model and your RC equipment carefully when transporting them. They may be seriously
damaged if they are free to slide about,.
•
If you have to recover the model after an out-landing, take care not to risk your own life or that of
others.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after every session.
•
Clean the model and transmitter using suitable cleaning agents only. Ask your local model shop if you are
not sure.
Notes on building the model
•
Before you start assembling the model it is essential to read right through these instructions, using the
Parts List constantly as a reference. In general terms the Building Instructions and the Parts List reflect the
sequence of assembly. Be sure to study the stage photos when building, as they are a valuable source of
additional information.
•
Bear in mind the possible hazards involved in the use of tools.
•
You will need a sanding block for sanding the edges of the pre-cut Depron parts, and for chamfering the
edges of hinged panels. Make this by sticking abrasive paper to a flat wooden block using double-sided
adhesive tape. 120-grit and 240-grit abrasives have proved ideal.
•
Deploy all cables neatly, wherever possible without crossing them over. It is of fundamental importance
never to allow a positive wire to make electrical contact with a negative wire. Deploy all motor cables in
such a way that there is no chance of them contacting any rotating parts of the power system. Use cable
ties or adhesive tape for this.
•
Deploy the receiver aerial as far from all high-current wires as possible (at least 3 cm).
•
Don't sand the surface of the Depron parts; only the joint surfaces should be sanded before gluing.
•
Please ensure that the only materials to make contact with the Depron surfaces are foam-compatible
adhesives and cleaning agents, as other solvents may dissolve and destroy the surface.
•
Recommended adhesives for gluing various materials:
Material - material
Plastic generally - Depron
Depron - Depron
Depron - metal
Read and observe the instructions supplied with all adhesives! The building instructions inform you
when to use particular glues. If you wish to use white spirit or other solvent as a cleaning agent, note
that special safety measures are required. Read the instructions supplied with these materials.
Building instructions
1.
Cut out the openings for the wing and tailplane in the two fuselage shells 1 and 2, working along the
marked lines.
2.
Sand a 45° chamfer in the undercarriage supports 3, and glue them in the fuselage shells approximately 5
mm forward of the wing leading edge (see picture below).
3.
Cut off the fuselage nose about 30 mm from the air intake. There is no need to be particularly accurate
about this, as the spinner is not glued to the propeller until after the first flight, when you have adjusted the
motor thrustline as required.
4.
Glue the front wing panel 6 to the central carbon spar 7. Glue the two undercarriage supports 4 and 5
together, and glue them in turn to the front wing panel 6. Note: the face of the wing with the cut-out for
the undercarriage support 4 is the underside. The rear carbon spar 9 can now be glued to the main
wing panel 8. Glue the wing panels together at this point. The circular cut-out in the centre of the wing
makes it easier to align the parts accurately.
5.
The two fuselage shells can now be joined permanently.
