1. Due to the nature of FFF 3D printing some
warping may have occured on the face on which the
part was printed. This warping is purely cosmetic
and can easily be solved by applying additional glue
and smoothing it out before activating it. This will
ensure the gap due to warping is sealed.
Before we get started:
Safety Notices:
1. Read the glue and activator label ad take care while using it. The glue sets very
quickly and will stick to your skin if you’re not careful
2. Take care when handling the 3D printed parts as some contain very sharp
edges
Repeated techniques:
Bonding parts using Glue and Activator Guide:
1. Ensure you test fit the two faces you will be bonding together to ensure you’re
bonding the correct faces in the correct orientation and to get familiar with how
best to hold them as they set
2. Apply glue to one of the two faces you will be bonding together, ensuring it is
evenly spread on the face. Make sure not to apply too much glue so it doesn’t
overspill and cause an external glue line at the joint.
3. Spray activator on the other face (the one without the glue) and wait for it to
evaporate. You can gently blow on it to make it evaporate faster (this only takes a
few seconds).
4. Carefully press the two faces together, ensuring you line them up correctly, and
hold the parts in this positions for around 10 seconds until they set.
5. You may have to spray on more activator on the join if it has not fully set.
6. Please note that some sanding of the joints may be required if excess glue is used.
Recommendations:
1. If you haven’t used glue and activator previously please do practice using some
paper which you draw two identical lines on and glue them together so the lines
are bonded on top of each other. This will give you experience so you know how
fast the glue sets and how much repositioning time you have.
Please be aware that:
2. Some part may differ slightly to the pictures shown in this kit, don’t be alarmed,
you have the latest part. This manual was shot with a prototype model which
received some minor udgrades

Step 21
Step 22
•Prepare the parts shown: part 15 and the
wire
•Cut a piece of wire about 30mm long
using some scissors or wire cutters
•Test fit the wire inside of hinge hole of the
rudder from the underside.
•Pull the wire back out so you can see
around half of it and add some glue to the
wire.
•Insert it into the rudder leaving 5mm
visible and activate the glue
•Prepare the parts shown: part 16 and the
assembled body shell
•Take part 16 and test fit it to the rear of
the EDF mount, lining the attachment
points of the Hull with the rudder mount
as shown.
•Bond the two faces of the rudder onto the
hull at the same time, and pay close
attantion to ensure they are aligned and
centered. Add sufficient ammount of glue.
•Ensure you follow the G&A Guide
instructions
•Take the rudder and insert the wire (which
you installed to the bottom of it) into the
hole behind the servo in the hull
•Prepare an M1 bolt
•Line the rudder up with the rudder mount
(you will have to pull the rudder mount
upwards slightly to fit the rudder
underneath) and install the bolt to hold the
rudder in place
•Test the rudder movement, it should feel
smooth without significant resistance
•Shorten one of your servo arms so it has
4 holes showing, use scissors to cut the
tip off (result shown in pictures)
•Cut a piece of wire which is 50mm long
•Curve the two tips of it as shown in the
picture, this will be your steering arm
•Insert one of the tips into the steering arm
mount on the side of the rudder and the
other into a servo arm.

Step 24
Step 25
•Prepare the seal (shown) and the assembled
bodyshell
•Teake the seal and align it around the edges of
the hull openeing, to get familiar about where to
stick it down.
•Now peel the backing of the seal off, in sections
and stick it onto the hull opening, then peel off
more backing and stick down untill the opening
is covered.
•You will have some seal overlap, mark where
this happens and trim it to this length
•Once the seal is stuck down go back and glue it
in more spaces using the glue and activator as
this is more durable than the seal adhesive.
•Prepare the parts shown: Cover, M3 bolt,
assembled bodyshell
•Take the cover and fit it onto the hull, sliding
it under the two cover holders jus in front of
the EDF
•Push the cover back over the rear seal until
the bolt hole and the insert in the hull line up.
•Take the M3 bolt and screw the front of the
cover down, you can do this by hand.
Step 23
•Insert one of the tips into the steering arm
mount on the side of the rudder and the
other into a servo arm. (you may find it
easier to take the servo arm off to do
this))
•Press the wire so it hooks around both
attachment points, this is very imoptant to
stop it from sliding off

Step 1
•Get all of the electronics ready, see page 1 for guidance
•If your ESC isn’t waterproof it is recommended to waterproof it
Step 2
•Plug EDF into the ESC
•Place the ESC inside and tuck the
wires underneath the side overhang;
Step 3
•Plug ESC into receiver CH 3, when
plugging 3 pin connectors ensure the
orientation is correct; the lightest
colour, yello usually, shoild be facing
the top face of the receiver as shown
•Plug Servo Motor into receiver,
channel 2 in this case, this may differe
for you
Installing the Electronics
Step 4
•Plug in the battery, the battery shown
has a connector on it to match with
the ECS connector
•Turn on your controller, ensuring it is
paired with your receiver
12

Step 5
•Package the electronics in a similar mannor as
shown
•Ensure your battery is sitting bellow the EDF,
you should slide it under the rear cover seal
until it is up to half under
•This will ensure a good position of the centre
of mass for optimal stability and planing
behaviour
•Please note that the packaging of the
electronics will differ for different electronics,
so the battery place,ent for the optimal centre
of mass may differ too
•Don’t forget to unplug the battery when not
running the HB-02 to prevent the LiPo from
discharging too much, as this will result in the
inability to recharge it
•Test your electronics,
•Servo movement, move the servo control and
see the sservo movement
•Test the EDF by increasing the throttle slightly
and placing your hand behing the EDF
•You should feel air blowing on your hand, if
you dont then place your hand in front of the
EDF intake, take caution
•If you feel the air blowing from the back to the
front then you need to reverse 1 of your EDF
to ESC cables; unplug the battery take unplug
1 cables from the ESC and plug them back in
the opposite way;
•Plug the battery back in and repeat the test;
