Focke-Wulf Ta 152 C
– fully printable update for Ta 125 version C - short wing
Extensive hi-tech 3d structural reinforcement making the model very
rigid while maintaining a lightweight airframe and exact airfoil even it’s just a plastic. This
perfect and exact 3d structure is possible only thanks to additive 3dprinting technology. So
welcome to the 21st century of model flying and be the first at your airfield.
Easy to assembly, you don’t need any extra tools or hardware, just glue printed
parts together and make pushrods for control surfaces. The rest of the assembly is very
easy. Simply add brushless motor, ESC, servos and radio system. Don’t worry, detailed step
by step PDF/VIDEO is included.
You’ll get a superb performing airplane with highly ecient powerplant capable of flying 7+
minutes at full throtle and speeds exceeding 110 kph (HP setup). Low stall speed is achieved
for easy landing on the other hand.
Note: this upgrade includes only shorter C version wing, F2 and F4 fuselage parts with ACES
wing holder and motor holder. You will need basic 152H version for all mandatory parts.

Focke-Wulf Ta 152 C, History
The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 was a World War II German high-altitude fighter-interceptor designed
by Kurt Tank and produced by Focke-Wulf.
The Ta 152 was a development of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 aircraft. It was intended to be
made in at least three versions the Ta 152H Höhenjäger („high-altitude fighter“), the Ta 152C
designed for medium-altitude operations and ground-attack with Daimler-Benz DB 603 and
smaller wings. All „C“ variants were intended for low to medium-altitude operations with
standard wing (11.00 m / 36 ft 1 in), armed with one engine-mounted Motorkanone 30 mm
(1.18 in) MK 108 cannon and four 20 mm synchronized MG 151/20 cannons (two above the
engine, two in the wing roots).

5. Assembly of printed parts
5.1 Wing assembly Ta 152 C
Glue wing parts L1-L4 perfectly together. The new 3DLabPrint lock system will help you.
Repeat for the right side. Glue both halves of the wing together. Use the CA glue, (position
locks and pins will help you to align the parts), and use activator to speed up the glue curing.
On a flat surface glue the ailerons L1-L4 and repeat for the right side. Use a suitable 0,8mm -
1,2mm carbon rod or wire as a hinge for the ailerons. Just slide it in, there‘s no need to glue
the hinge for easy aileron or servo replacement.
See example video guide for H version of Ta 152 #4
you will need: CA Glue medium viscosity+ activator
0,8 - 1,2 mm carbon or steel wire for aileron hinge
Snap knife, Some cloth for wiping CA glue...

5.2.1 Fuselage Ta 152 C update for rubber band
Parts F4 and F2 can be printed in improved ACES version for fixing the wing assembly with
rubber bands. Use 3mm carbon rod for improved rubber wing fixing. Don‘t glue carbon rod
in part F4 for easy rubber change.
You will need: 2 pieces of 3mm carbon rod with 125mm lenght.
F2
50g/1.74oz
F4
39g/1.37oz
F2 & F4 for rubber
banded wings
6. Servo installation
Extend the servo leads, remove servo brackets and install the prepared servos to the wing
servo bays. Use a 1mm steel wire with Z bends as a linkage between the servos and aileron
control horns. Elevator servo will be fixed by servo holder or glue in the fuselage.
See example in video guide #6 for Ta 152 H version
you will need: 3x HXT900, or opt1, opt2, opt3
or any similar sized servos
23x12x26 mm / 0.74x0.42x0.78 inches
2x 300mm servo extension
