This Cloud Clipper kit includes precision pre-cut wing ribs, plywood formers, balsa wood strips/
sheets/blocks for the wing and stabilizers. Hardwoods and dowels for the fuselage, a set of piano
wire landing gear, a set of wheels, a hardware accessories pack, and a complete set of full size

BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS
1 FUSELAGE ASSEMBLY:
1) The supplied 6 x 6mm balsa strips for the fuselage require joining and extending. You
need to assemble over the building plan a left and a right hand fuselage side as shown.
We recommend that you cover this part of the plan using clear food wrapping film and scotch
tape. Do this before pinning and gluing the balsa down in the required positions, this will keep
the plan clean and intact.
2) Position the fuselage frame over the plan, cut the supplied strips and cross braces as shown.
Use clamps and pins to hold the parts together as the glue dries.

3) Glue to the fuselage frame part B15 which reinforces the nose section as shown. Do this to both
the left and right hand fuselage sides. You will need to soak the balsa at the front of the the
bottom longeron to enable it to bend to the underneath shape of B15.

6
4) Glue parts B19 to all the frame joints as shown, ensure you continue to make a left and right
hand fuselage side.. Add 3mm balsa sheet to the tail as shown below to form the push-rod exit,
again, ensure you are making a left and a right hand side.

8
5) Add a piece of 8mm balsa sheet to the nose of both the left and right hand fuselage sides.

9
6) Glue former B13 and B14 together with epoxy glue. Use some mini clamps to hold them whilst the
glue sets.

10
7) Laminate together the two B25 parts to form the front former for the motor mount.
8) Glue B25 and B13/B14 to the right hand fuselage side as shown. Note: Ensure both formers
remain perpendicular to the fuselage side as the glue sets.

11
9) Now assemble the left hand fuselage side to the right hand fuselage side. Use some mini
clamps to hold the assembly together. Ensure both formers remain perpendicular and square to
the left and right fuselage frame as the glue sets.

12
10) Place the fuselage over the plan and bring the tail together as shown below, add parts B20 and
B26, clamp these together as the glue sets. Add balsa strips to the top and bottom of the fuselage
frame so that the fuselage sides follow the contour shown on the plan. You will need to cut the
balsa strips to the lengths shown on the plan to ensure the contour is followed precisely.

13
11) Add the balsa longerons to the fuselage sides as shown.

14
12) Add the formers to the top of the fuselage as shown below and on the plan.

13) Add the balsa stringers to the formers to form the turtle deck etc. Ensure all the formers are
positioned correctly according to the plan.

14) At this point it is best to install the push-rod tubes into the fuselage. Trim the excess push-rod
tubes where they exit the rear of the fuselage.

17
15) Install the B17 servo mounting plate into the fuselage.
