Aeronaut Rambotator User manual

Order No. 3048/00
This model is not a toy. If a young
person under 14 years is to build and
operate it, a responsible adult must
supervise the activity.
Introduction:
The model should be assembled following the sequence of the part numbers. These instructions are arranged by
stages in the correct order.
You may need to use a thin modelling knife to release the laser-cut parts from the sheets by cutting through on the
reverse side. The dark edges of the laser-cut parts should also be rubbed off using abrasive paper or a sanding pad
in order to obtain sound glued joints.
Check that all components fit accurately before reaching for the glue, and carry out any minor trimming required.
Allow all glued joints to dry out fully before starting the next stage of construction. We recommend a fast-setting
waterproof white glue for all joints.
We recommend that you apply a coat of sanding sealer (Order No. 7666/02) to all the wooden components and
sand the surfaces smooth before painting them.
We recommend our aero-pick
modelling pins, Order No. 7855/02, to
hold parts together when building the
model.
Tip: the laser-cut sheets include a large quantity of excess
material which is not required for building the model. It is a
good idea to place this material to one side, as it can be
used later to make handles, latches, fuel filler stubs and
similar, which help to give your model a livelier
appearance.

Glue the deck beams (1) to the deck
reinforcement (2).
Glue the hull sides (3) to the
deck reinforcement.
Glue all the hull bottom beams (1) in
place as shown.
Check that all the parts are at right-
angles to each other before leaving the
glue to set hard.
Caution:
The slots for the servo plate are
located 22 mm below deck level.
Glue the corner fillets (5 + 6) in place.
Glue the transom (4) and the bow plate (8) to the corner
fillets (5 + 6) and the hull sides (3).
Sand the front edge of the hull bottom (7) to a chamfer so that it fits in the
angle between the bow plate (8) and the bottom beam (1) as shown. Starting
at the bow (8), glue the hull bottom (7) to the hull sides and the bottom
beams. Round off the edges of the hull sides with abrasive paper.

Use the shaft coupling to connect the propeller shaft to the motor shaft.
Attach your preferred connectors to the power wires, then solder the
wires and capacitors to the motor terminals. Screw the motor plate (11)
to the motor.
Glue the wedge (10) to the underside of the hull bottom (7). Fit the prepared motor assembly through the slot in the
hull bottom (7) from the inside, then fit the shaft support (9) through the bottom (7) from the outside, sliding it into
the slot in the motor mount (11). You may need to trim the shaft opening slightly.
Caution: check that the motor and shaft rotate freely and smoothly, and make any adjustments required to the
openings in the hull bottom and the bottom edge of the motor mount.
Glue the servo mount (14 + 15) to the hull
bottom and the transom. Lightly sand the
joint surfaces of the rudder bush (16) to
provide a key for the glue, then insert the
bush through the holes in the hull bottom (7)
and the servo mount (14). Leave about 1
mm of the bush protruding on the underside
to allow a fillet of resin to be applied, and
glue it in place permanently. It is also
possible to apply glue from above through
the annular openings in the servo mount
(14).
Roughen one end of the rudder shaft (17) over a length of 40 mm,
and glue parts (18, 18.1 + 18.2) to the shaft using two-pack
adhesive. Sand the rudder to a streamlined profile when the glue
has set hard.

Glue three strips of adhesive tape to the outside edges of the top face
of the deck (22), overlapping all round as shown. Lay the deck on a flat
surface with the adhesive tape on the underside, and glue the three
rubbing strakes (83 + 84) to the edges. The top surface of the deck
should be completely flat, with the strakes projecting on the underside
by 1 mm, forming a shoulder for the glued joints. Round off the corners
of the rubbing strakes.
Glue the coaming components (25 + 26) which form the
wheelhouse base to the inside edges of the doubler (21);
repeat the procedure with the hatch coaming (23 + 24) and
the hatch doubler (20).
Caution: the hatch coaming is designed to be a very tight fit,
as it has to support the superstructure. It is a good idea to
sand the top of the coaming to a slight taper once the glue
has set hard.
Insert the prepared assemblies through the deck from the underside, and glue the
doublers in place over their full area.
The two bollards (85) can now be glued to the deck, applying adhesive to the
underside; the bollards should project through the deck by about 4 - 5 mm.
Reinforce the joints with a fillet of glue round each one on the underside, as this
area is subject to severe stress during towing operations.

Now glue the three remaining deck beams (1) in the notches in the hull.
At this stage the whole of the hull and deck should be given two coats of sanding sealer.
Install the motor in the hull, and cover it to protect it from soiling.
The deck can now be attached to the hull: apply plenty of glue to all the joint surfaces of the hull and deck beams,
and place the deck in position. Fix the parts together temporarily using strips of adhesive tape. Turn the hull over
and leave it inverted until the glue has set hard; you will need to use packing pieces to provide clearance for the
bollards.
When the glue is dry, give the outside of the hull two or three coats of sanding sealer, rubbing down between coats.

Assemble the rear hatch components (27, 28, 29)
and glue the joints.
Assemble the parts of the engine room (30, 31,
32, 30.1) and glue the joints, taking care to
position the roof (32) correctly; note the location
of the holes (see arrows).
Remove any rough edges from the inside edges
of the engine room side panels (30, 31), as this
guarantees a firm seating, and makes it easier to
fit and remove the whole wheelhouse. Glue the
portholes (88) in place as shown.
Prime and paint this assembly.
Bulwark
Insert the bulwark stanchions (33) in the slots in the deck, but do not glue them. Glue the stern bulwark 35 to the
bulwark stanchions. Glue the side bulwarks (34) to part (35) at the stern as well as to the side stanchions (33). Sand
the corner fillets to fit, and glue them in place as shown. When the glue is dry, sand the corners of the bulwark to a
rounded shape. Finally glue the handrail on top.
The bulwark can now be painted.

Assemble the return pulleys as shown in the picture.
Allow the glue to dry and paint them before gluing
them in the holes in the deck.
Assemble the dolphin posts as shown
in the picture, then prime and paint
the surfaces before gluing them in the
slots in the deck.
Assemble the wheelhouse side walls (48 -
51) and the window (52) around the
wheelhouse floor (47), installing the
instrument board (53) at the same time.
Prime and paint this assembly.
Assemble the instruments as shown in the drawing, paint them,
and install them once the wheelhouse has been painted.
After painting the wheelhouse, glue the door in place; the door
hinges can be cut from lengths of brass rod. Trim the roof
reinforcement (59) to fit, but do not glue it in place.
Glue the side fairings (61 - 63) round the roof (60), and glue the
reinforcement (59) to the underside of the roof.
Assemble the navigation lamp brackets
from parts 64 and 65; they should be
glued together before they are fixed to
the roof. Note that the lamp brackets are
handed (different right and left).
Paint the roof at this stage: note that the
inside of the lamp brackets should be
black.
Assemble the lamps from parts (76 - 78),
and glue them to the lamp brackets (64
+ 65).

Thread the railing stanchions (79) onto the lower rails (80) and the handrail
(81), bending all three rails at the same time. Insert the railing stanchions in
the holes in the engine room roof. Position the railing components carefully
before gluing the rails to the stanchions.
Allow these assemblies to dry before removing and painting them
The mast (72)
If you wish to fit working lights, drill 2 mm Ø holes in the mast below the lamp brackets for
the wires to pass through.
Glue the platform supports (75) and the lamp platforms (74) to the mast at the locations
shown in the illustration.
The mast can now be painted.
Paint the upper and lower parts of the lamps (76 + 77) black.
When the paint is dry, glue the clear lenses (78) between them.
When the mast is complete, slip it through the holes in the wheelhouse roof, the floor and
the engine room deck, and secure it by fitting the collet (73) at the bottom.
The wheelhouse as a whole is prevented from rotating by the railings, and is held in position
by the mast collet. If you wish, the wheelhouse can be secured with a small woodscrew
fitted from the underside.

Install the steering servo. Push a piece of silicone tubing (82)
about 10 mm long onto the rudder bush (16) where it projects
at the top.
Push a piece of silicone tubing
(82) about 10 mm long onto the
rudder shaft (17).
Fit the propeller (not included in the kit) on the propeller shaft, and secure it by tightening the locknut. Slip the rudder
into the rudder bush (16), carefully pushing the shaft support (9) to one side to allow this. Fit the tiller (19) on the top
end of the rudder shaft. Push the parts together so that they are under light tension, then tighten the screw which
fixes the tiller (19) to the shaft. This holds the rudder in the correct position and at the same time provides a
waterproof seal.
Bend the rudder pushrod (93) to
shape and connect it to the servo
output arm and the tiller. Push the
plastic keepers (92) onto the pushrod
(93) to hold it in place.
The receiver and speed controller can be fixed to the inside of the hull using Velcro (hook-and-loop) tape. The
position of the battery varies according to the type of use you envisage for the boat.
Stick the strip of Velcro tape to the hull floor forward of the motor to secure the battery.
If you wish to use the model as a pusher (springer) tug, you will need to add ballast to trim the vessel correctly.
Ensure that the shaft tube is always lubricated with oil or grease.
Remove the battery from the model when it is not in use.
Have fun running your model!
