CONSTRUCTION
Fuselage :
We recommand to let the fuselage in 2 parts for transportation.
All plywood reinforcement are already glued and hole drill in the front and rear fuselage.
You'll just have to screw the 2 parts together with 4 x M3x16 mm diameter screws + blind nuts.
Don't forget to check the 4 screws before to fly ......
Front gear door :
Cut the front gear door according to the engraved panel lines with fine diamond disc.
Glue the 5 door hinges with cyano (take care of the position according to the photo) : 3 hinges on rear door
on right side, 2 hinges on front door on front side.
For this operation in order to avoid glue to “harden” the hinges put a small drop of oil in the pivot point.
Front landing gear :
Screw the front landing gear on the
plywood mount with 4 x d3x16 mm parker
screw
Screw the servo on the servo plywood
mount
The steering servo should be a 3 kg.cm
servo
Connect the servo to nose gear steering arm
with 1 x M2 link, 1 M2 ball link and M2
threaded rod (30 mm long).
Ball link is screwed under the gear arm
The M2 link should be connected in the arm
hole closest to the gear axis.

6
Front gear door cylinder:
Screw a ball link on the 1" air cylinder.
Screw the air cylinder on the plywood frame.
Screw the ball of the ball link on the rear door
hinge
Connect the link to the ball link and check that
the door closes perfectly : the door is open
when the cylinder is fully extended and the
door is closed when the air cylinder is retracted.

7
Main gear door :
Cut the 2 main gear doors according to the engraved
panel lines.
Glue the 4 flat hinges with cyano (take care of the
position according to the photo).
For this operation in order to avoid glue to “harden” the
hinges put a small drop of oil in the pivot point.
M ain gear doors cylinder
Glue the fiber horn reinforcement on each gear door with
CA and epoxy.
It is located just on the front of the door (see photo)
Screw a ball link on the 1.5" air cylinder. Screw the air
cylinder on the plywood part.
Glue the part in the fuselage according to the pics.
Connect the link to the ball ling and check that the door
close perfectly : the door is open when the cylinder is
fully extended and the door is closed when the air
cylinder is retracted.

8
Air brake (optionnal):
Cut the air brake according to the engraved panel
lines.
Drill a hole in the air brake for the piano wire
Screw the 2 aluminium link to the 2 air cylinder
Connect the link to the air brake
Fit the piano wire in the control horn of the air
brake
Fit the air brake in position
Glue the piano wire with cyano.
Check that the air brake can open and close
without trouble.
Secure the piano wire with epoxy and
microballon
Screw the end of the air cylinder to the 2
plywood reinforcement
Plue the plywood part with CA in the fuselage
Check that the air brake close perfectly : the air
brake is open when the cylinder is fully extended
and the air brake is closed when the air cylinder
is retracted.

9
FRONT GUN (optionnal):
Cut the openning for the 4 gun according
to the engraved panel lines.
Glue the 4 resin gun inside the fuselage
with CA
FIN INSTALLATION :
Fit the fin on the fuselage
Drill a 2.5 mm hole through the fin tube, the 12 mm
tube and the plywwod frame
Insert a 3 mm screw to lock the fin.
Rudder :
If you want to fit a rudder, we recommand to fit he
servo in the fin to minimize flutter problem.
Cut the rudder as panel line engraved
Glue in the fin and in the rudder a balsa spar (15 mm large in both side)
Put 4 large Robart hinges
Cut a hole in the rudder for the servo
Fit control horn and link. Check that there is no play in the rudder
Bearings installation

10
You have 2 bearings per stabs with aluminium mounting.
First check that all mounting are perfectly screwed to the plywood and that the bearings are glued in the
mounting
If not, just glue the bearing in the aluminium block with threadlock.
Stabs installation
Important : the 2 stabs MUST be balanced
You will have to drill a hole in the stab root and glue some lest in
the leading edge to balance them.
You will need approximately 35 grams of lest per
stabs.
When the stabs is fitted in the 2 bearings, it must be
free in rotation : not hard point, no unbalance.
Now fit the stab in the fuselage and of course in the first ball
bearing.
Insert the aluminium control horn + plastic washer and fit the tube
in the second bearing
Screw the control horn to secure the tube
Adjust the clearance between the fuselage and
the stab. The stab must not touch the fuselage
when it rotate. Do the same for the 2 stabs.
Servos installation
Important : the servo MUST be a very high
quality servo, 9 kg torque minimum, with
metallic gears.
Screw the servo on the plywood mount
The servo lead must be protected with ceramic
fiber.
Put the stab horizontal.
Put the control arm vertical.
Screw and secure the control arm
Connect the servo to the arm with the large M4 ball link,
M4 threaded rod +cardon rod outside (to prevent
bending) and M4 aluminium link
Glue them with threadlock.
