This manual is constantly being improved and supplemented, we recommend downloading
the latest version from our website before building.
To print all PLANEPRINT models you need to set some basic profiles in Cura (If you use another
slicer, please set the same parameters).
You can find the description at www.planeprint.com/print
For this model you need the following profiles:
Printing the parts – Printing profiles
The development of a complex, airworthy RC flight model to express on any stan-
dard 3D printer is a very extensive process. Therefore, we appeal to your fairness
not to forward the STL data you have acquired to third parties.
Thank you for your understanding and have fun with your PLANEPRINT MODEL!
PROFILE P5_Gyroid
It is essential for the necessary stability of the LW parts
printed with PROFILE_5 are as stable as possible. Please
use a test part to check the strength by fracture tests. It must
not break along the layer lines under any circumstances! Also
note that the printing temperature for LW-PLA is as low as
possible to obtain a wall thickness of 0.4 to 0.6 mm at a flow
of 60 to 70 % (depending on brand).
Caution: at too high temperatures, LW-PLA becomes
brittle and breaks more easily.

Basic Information:
Gluing the parts printed with PROFILE P5
PROFILES 5 parts are easy to repair
STEP 1 As a first step, it is important to roughen and smooth the adhesive surfaces with sandpaper.
STEP 2 Insert the interconnects into the slots provided on one side.
STEP 3 Apply a lot of glue to the side with the interconnects. It is important that there is glue everywhere,
especially on the outside and inside of the wall surfaces, in order to achieve a perfect connection.
The interconnects only serve to align the parts to each other. It is better not to apply glue here,
otherwise it can happen that the glue suddenly hardens while the parts are being put together and
stops the process.
Use medium viscosity CA glue, thinner glue would run down the parts too easily.
After assembly, align the two parts exactly and wipe off the excess CA glue from the surface
with a cloth. Now spray with activator spray along the gluing surface and carefully press the parts
together.
STEP 4 Clean the glued areas slightly with a sharp-bladed cutter.
STEP 1 Using the knife, carefully remove the damaged part about 3 mm from the glue joint between two parts.
STEP 2 Cut wall and infill and clean the surface with sandpaper. The top surface of the damaged part remains!
STEP 3 The remaining top surface is about 1 mm thick. To compensate for this, you can move the new part to
be printed down the Z axis in Cura by 1 mm.

Installation the TPU Hinges
First insert the hinges into the Ailerons and add a drop of liquid CA
adhesive into the gap. Wait for the glue to drain completely, then spray the
activator on it.
Then put the Aileron in the Wing until the Aileron touches the spacers
and put a drop of CA glue on the hinge. Wait again for the glue to run in,
and then spray the activator on it.
Do not use too much glue, the Ailerons must move easily!
NOTE The marking
for the control horn
must be down!

Servo mount
Install the servo mounts and servo arm
extensions as shown here.
Do not forget to zero the servos first.
Unscrew the servo arms again
and glue the servos into the
fuselage and make sure that the
axis of rotation is centered with
the openings for the servo arms
(also in height!).
If your servos have different
dimensions and the servo
brackets (P1_Servo mount_pp.stl) are
too high, you can print them in
Cura at the appropriate height
by changing the dimension for
the Z-axis.
If the servos are tight, you can
mount the servo arms.

does not generate vibrations. Check regularly that the
motor mounting is absolutely tight!
