Completion
You will need
1.
Use ø2×385mm
carbon rod 2x as
elevons axles.
Don‘t insert them
all the way in at
this point in case
that you will need
to make pushrods
or other
adjustments.
2.
Set elevons to neutral
position and install
pushrods. Make sure,
that everything moves
freely. If not, use sand
paper or drillbit and
make necessary
adjustments.

3.
If everything moves
freely and pushrods
are installed correctly,
insert ø2×385mm car-
bon rod 2x all the way
in and secure them
with small drop of CA
glue to the elevons.
4.
Install RX and battery. Now you
are ready to start programming
servos and set right CG.

Center of gravity
CG is marked on W_L_1 and W_R_1 on the bottom side and it is 206mm from the
very tip of the F_1 part. After maiden ight you can shift CG slightly front or back
to t your ying style perfectly. Don‘t shift CG position too much at once, wing
can lose it‘s stability. It is also possible to change a little bit angle of the motor
with small washers to adjust behavior of the wing during ight. (It is a bit tricky
with assembled wing, but it is possible)
