ASSEMBLING
The assembling of the aircraft is an operation needing less than one hour.
We recommend proceeding the following way:
-Position wing/fuselage on a clean ground, backwards from where the wind comes.
Open the co er from frontward and remo e it.
-take out the 3 tripods from their co ers (1 small
for fuselage and 2 bigger for the wings).
-Put the fuselage on the small tripod.
-Open the wings so that the wing tips and the
fuselage tail touch the ground.

-Take out the cockpit from its co er.
-Remo e the wheel fairing and check the front
tyre pressure (2,5 bars).
-Fit the wheel fairing.
-Check the pressure of main tyre.
-Remo e the 3 fitting pins from the cockpit, 2
frontwards (A) and 1 backwards (B).

-Check that main switch and engine switch are off.
-Position rudder pedals in neutral position so that
the pin A may come inside its housing in B.
-Position control stick in central position so that
the ele ator control parts in the fuselage may
come in contact with part A in the cockpit and so
that the ailerons control parts in fuselage may
come in contact with part B in the cockpit without
stress.

-Position cockpit under fuselage and remo e the
tripod.
-Fit cockpit on fuselage with the 2 frontwards pins
(A), then with the backwards pin (B).
Secure the 3 pins with the safety bungees (C).
-Check that the rudder, ailerons and ele ator
controls are well connected by mo ing control
stick and rudder pedals.

-Unfold completely the wings, each leading edge
resting on a tripod.
-Remo e the wing tip co ers.
-Install the drag tube inside the left wing
(attention, there is one left and one right tube)
fitting it first on the leading edge (check that
the cables route o er the tube) in A, then on the
fuselage in B.
-Fit the drag tube on the right wing.

-On left wing, connect and lock the trailing edge /
flap control to the cockpit.

-Go to the tip of left wing and unroll the fabric.
-Pull out from the wing the red rope connected
to the ribs safety cable.
Pull on the cable so that the ribs rotate and
come in position along trailing edge.
-Hang the bungee to the steel pin (A) to keep
the ribs in position. Check the ribs are well
positioned by looking inside the wing and by
following the trailing edge.
-Connect safety cable on the leading edge (B).
-Remo e the bungee from the steel pin.

-Pull out the aileron horn from the wing and
extract it completely from bungee.
-Open the zip that links upper and lower surface
fabrics at the wing tip.
-Remo e the left wing tip from its co er and
position it on the leading edge.
-Unfold carbon rib.

-Close the zip and tension the elcro at the tip of
carbon part.
-Rotate carbon arm in position.
-Check the spring lock is locked.
-Position carbon rib on trailing edge (a small rope
can be useful).

- Position the tube on the carbon rib (A).
-Position cable tensioner between the stainless
steel plates (B).

-Position eyelets of upper and lower surface on
their pins (A).
-lock the tube with articulation in straight position
(B).
-Check one more time the good position of all ribs
on trailing edge.
-lock the cable tensioner in the ring (C).
-Position carbon trailing edge (attention, 1 right
and 1 left).
The longer indentation is positioned outside (wing
tip side).

-Position upper and lower surface fabric around
carbon trailing edge and fit them together with
elcro.
-Connect horn to aileron.
-lock the aileron horn with the pushpin.

-Position the engine.
It slide frontwards in the 2 silent-bloc (A) and is
locked backwards a nut and a safety pin (B).
-Proceed the same way with the right wing.
-Fit the lower surface fabric on the cockpit elcro.
-Insert the tension battens in their slee es at the
root of each wing fabric.
-Position and tension the straps (they route under
parachute cable).
-If the aircraft is equipped, connect the parachute
cable to the hook.

-remo e the stabilizer screw.
-Position the stab by connecting the ele ator
control in its fork.
-Screw and torque the stab fitting screw.
The allen wrench stays in position and must be
position backwards.
-Position fin.

-Install rudder.
It is locked with the 2 balls in its lower part.

-Position the battery in its housing and connect it.
-Close the housing and lock the co er.
-Connect throttle, decompressor and propeller
lock cables.
-Connect the two electric wirings.

-Route the enting tube from the fuel tank to the
lower part of the cockpit.
-Fill fuel tank.
-Put the engine pylon on medium position.
-Install engine bonnet.
Position it by sliding from backwards to
frontwards, fitted with 2 lugs backwards and 2
pushpins frontwards.
-Fit the bungees of trap doors (they cross).

-Position fuselage closing fabric.
-Position seat.

-Position canopy.
-Make the pre-flight check.
