STRATAIR F3B User manual

Manual TOOL F3B
We, Fa. STRATAIR, congratulate for buying
that model. The Tool F3B is a high
performance F3B model. The model is a full
molded carbon product. Alle parts will be
produced out of high quality molds. The model is nearly ready to fly. Never the less you have to do me finishing
work. Finally we wish you a lot of fun in building an flying the model. The Tool F3B is a fast and agil RC-model.
Take care that the model is always in good technical condition because of the high loads during flight. Be aware that
you fly the model in safe distance of persons and goods.
1. Wing:
Mill a opening into the surface of the movement part (flap, aileron) and put control horns in it. Then glue them.
Picture left = aileron picture middle= flap picture right = pushrod cover
In front of the control horn an opening
must be milled to lead the pushrod
through the wing. Use the M2,5
windingrod to connect control horn
with servo. 200mm are enough for the
whole wing. For one pushrod you
need around 45mm of the M2,5 rod.
On both sides screw the M2,5 metal
clevises. Connect (solder) servos with
the preinstalled servocables. In the
middle of the wing, where the servocables are ending, solder the 6-pol MPX connector (female part). That type of
connector fit optimal in the wing-opening. Fix them with a trop of CA.

2. Fuselage:
Take the M2 couplers, glue them with CA onto the glasfibre pushrods and screw the plastic ball links on it. Push the
these pushrods from the backside into to preinstalled pushrod sleeve. The small fuselage cover fill be fixed with
tape.
Depending on used servos make/mill openings for them (see picture above). Screw M2 metal clevises with M2
couplers. Cut glas fibre pushrod that it fits for servoarm and glue M2 couplers with pushrod (use some CA).
Make now cable-connection for wingservos. For that solder servocables with 6-pol MPX connector (male part).
Battery for receiver should be positioned as in picture above. For balancing the model you need some ballast in the
nose. You can use some small Pb balls and fix them afterwards with resin or you fill melt Pb into the nose. For that
you have to put the nose into cold water for cooling.
