Micron Wings Glider Dual Fuse Fox User manual

Glider Dual Fuse Fox
The Dual Fuse Fox is a fast looking modern dual fuselage design with swept back wings and sharp lines. The
main wing section is curved over ribs to give it a slight airfoil shape, and this is also reinforced by the shaped
wing root slots and tail boom supports. Balancing the glider is as simple as placing the ballast weight in the nose
cavity and you then have a very stable glider with slow to moderate flying speeds. The Dual Fuse Fox not only
looks great but has exceptional glide performance as well.
Your kit contains the following items
* Pre- cut parts
* Sandpaper sheet
* Diagram sheet
* Ballast weight
* Glue
Additional Items You May Need
* Cling Wrap
* Flat board (working surface)
* Hobby Knife
* Wood glue
* Masking tape
Build Procedure
Firstly it’s a good idea to tape down a sheet of cling wrap over
your work surface. This will stop the parts from becoming glued
to the surface. It’s easier to peel off cling wrap from any wooden
parts.
Note: although the kit is supplied with CA glue, we recommend
using other glues which are suitable for balsa wood if available.

If you intend to sand down the edges of the parts, you may
want to do this before you start building to make it easier.
Glue in the wing support. Note that the wing support will
completely block the wing slot in the main fuselage. This is
how it is supposed to be. Refer to the slots in the wings to see
how they attach.
Look along the body from the front to check that the wing
mount is level.
Glue on the vertical stabilisers to the horizontal stabiliser and
make sure they are perpendicular (90 degree angles). Then
place them down like this to dry.
Each wing must be inserted half way into the body part, so
mark a line about 2mm from the end of the wing. This will help
when inserting the wings to make sure you have each wing
inserted the same amount.
Wings with the guide lines drawn.

Glue in the wing ribs on the outer wing. There are marks in the
wood on both the leading and trailing edge of the wing to
show where to line them up.
Apply tape to pull the wing down onto the rib at the front and
back and tape it in place till it dries.
Glue the wings in place into the main fuselage ensuring they
are both inserted an even amount. Ensure that you apply glue
around the wing mount and put masking tape over the top like
this to make sure the wings stay up while drying.
Look from the front to ensure both wings have the same
amount of upward angle.
Also reinforce the joint with some extra glue under the wings.
Glue in place the tail shafts. Only glue the part on top of the
wing as well as the rear 1cm under the wing.
Only glue 1cm at the back of the wing underneath, and allow to
dry.
Endure that the rear ends of the tail shafts are the same
distance apart as the inside of the tailplane assembly.
Once the previous step has completely dried, continue to glue
the rest of the tail shafts to the leading part of the wing. You
can use masking tape as shown here to hold the wing down
onto the tail shaft. Or you can use clips as shown below.

Alternate method of holding the wing to the tail shaft as it dries.
Glue in place the tail section as shown here on top of the tail
shafts.
Place the ballast in the nose and hold it in place with tape while
test flying.
Test fly and add or subtract ballast as needed to achieve a good
flight path.
Once the plane is balanced properly, glue the ballast in place.
