Tools
Scissors, glue, ruler, tweezers, pencil
![Caution] Glue, scissors and other tools may be dan-
gerous to young children so be sure to keep them out of
the reach of young children.
Assembly Instructions
Try to avoid bending the parts when you cut them out.
When assembling the parts, follow the assembly in-
structions and use the parts in the order given.
When sticking surfaces together, spread the glue evenly
and stick the parts together quickly and line up the
edges cleanly. While the glue is drying, put the fuse-
lage inside a sheet of paper and then press it down with
a book or similar in order to get a nice, straight finish.
When sticking the right and left wings together, make
sure that the center line is not off center.
C enter line
To glue the wings flush onto the fuselage, use a pencil
or scissors to flatten out the part where the wings at-
tach to the fuselage.
Rub with pencil or scissors
to flatten out.
Flatten the uneven surface.
C ross section of the fuselage
To give the wings an angle, bend along a straight
ruler. (Refer to the assembly instructions for details on
what degree of angle to use.)
Dihedral angle
Attach the wings and horizontal stabilizer carefully so
that their center lines match up exactly with the center
line of the fuselage.
Make sure that the center line of
the wings matches up exactly
with the center line of the fuselage.
Also attach the horizontal stabilizer firmly.

If any of the cut out parts are bent, this will seriously
affect the glider's performance. Therefore, be sure to
keep all parts perfectly flat till you join them up. For
the wings, stabilizer and other parts, use a ruler to
give you a proper straight edge to make your folds.
Align the parts
against a ruler to fold them.

Racer 539 Hawk: Assembly Instructions

Assemble the main wing
following the assembly
instructions 3-1 to 3-8.
Glue the main wing firmly to
the fuselage, aligning the
center of the wing along the
top of the fuselage.

Folded stands
Fold all tabs outward.
Aligning the noses flush,
glue through together
in the order shown.
Placing a ruler along the fold lines, bend the cut
strips slightly upward.
Glue parts and to the underside of
parts and respectively.
Using a ruler along the center line, fold part from the
center line to make 5˚ angle on both sides. Then curve it
carefully with your fingers to fit the curved fuselage top
where the main wings are to be attached.
Curve the main wings, + , +
respectively in the same manner as .
This curve is called camber.
Apply glue on half of the underside
of and glue onto + .
(The dots on the parts should meet
with each other.)
In the same manner,
attach + to the other
side of .
Glue the horizontal stabilizer
to the fuselage, making sure that
the dots appearing in its center
portion line up along the top of
the fuselage.
Placing the dihedral angle gauge on the main wing,
check that the dihedral angle is 5˚.
Putting folded stands under the main wing
will be conducive to fast and thorough drying.
GLUING INSTRUCTIONS
Glue the parts together in the order indicated.

Racer 539 Hawk: Assembly Instructions

View the plane from both the front and the back
and straighten any warps or bends
in the fuselage and the wings.

Level the camber on the main wings carefully
with your fingers, checking the curve
with the camber gauge.
Using the dihedral angle gauge,
make sure the dihedral angle for the main
wing is 5˚ and for the wing tips is 30˚.
Camber both wing tips and slightly.
Fold tabs on both ends of the main wing to form a 30˚ dihedral angle
using the gauge and then camber them as well.
Apply glue to the top surface of the folded tabs of the main wing.
Glue wing tips and onto them as shown.
Once again, check that the dihedral angle at the tip of the wing is 30˚
using the gauge.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Give the finishing touches to the plane
after it dries thoroughly.
