manufacturers for all the products you installed or used on your model, especially radio
equipment and power source.
 Check thoroughly before every flight that the airplanes’ components are in good shape and
functioning properly. If you find a fault do not fly the model until you have corrected the
problem.
 Radio interference caused by unknown sources can occur at any time without notice. In such a
case, your model will be uncontrollable and completely unpredictable. Make sure to perform a
range check before every flight. If you detect a control problem or interference during a flight,
immediately land the model to prevent a potential accident.

 Do not operate this model in a confined area.
 Do not stand in line with, or in front of a spinning propeller and never touch it with any object.
IMPORTANT: PRIOR TO ANY ASSEMBLY
Please Note: after removing kit from shipping box, lay each piece flat on a
hard surface, this will allow the airframe to straighten out if lightly bent
from shipping. Do not worry since EPP is very pliable and can be bent back
if out of shape.

TOOL AND ADHESIVES NEEDED
Tools shown and listed are suggestions only.
Depending on your building technique you may not
need everything indicated – and/or – you may find that
other tools available to yourself may be of benefit to
your Build.
It is also recommended that you have a flat building
surface, one that will accept stick pins and push pins.
An Acrostic Ceiling panel from your local hardware
store fits this bill nicely, and will lay flat on your work
table. Over size / long push pins are available at your
local craft store. These two items are by no means
required, but will aid in the building process, and can
be used for future projects

the build
CONSTRUCTION METHODS:
Building surface should be at least 2ft x 4ft and at. Weights or some small heavy objects will be handy for holding things in place
during the time glue is setting.
Welders glue is used for FOAM TO FOAM joints. Thin and Medium CA can be used on the PLASTIC TO FOAM and CARBON TO FOAM
joints. When using the Welders glue for a butt joint, apply a thin lm to each surface, allow to sit for approx ve minutes and
then assemble. Note that this method will create a nearly instant bond, so locate carefully when bringing the two pieces together. If
alignment is necessary or a slip joint, do not allow the glue to tack up, simple apply and join immediately, you will have several
minutes to locate the two parts before the glue sets up. In most cases the parts being glued can be handled with care in 30 minutes,
full cure is approx 24 hours.
The above picture items will be needed to nish the model.
A power combo (Twisted Hobbys’ Combo pictured above),
and a battery. Note - the Welders and Receiver are NOT part
of the power combo, everything else shown is.
Start the build by locating the two wings, the elevator and
the rudder. Fold back as shown and weigh them down for
about an hour to loosen up the hinge area. Now is also a
great time to setup your radio and to test that all your
electronics are functioning properly.

Rev: 2015.11.30.v01a page 8
Welders, Foam-Tac or CA can be used
as the primary method of joining the
parts. This Build will use Welders for all
joints unless called out otherwise. Two
to three tubes of Welders are needed.
After the hinged parts have sat folded
back for an hour or so, assembly can
start. Locate the elevator, 5x1x250
spar, 3x1x250 spar and 2 of the
3x1x100 spars (or 1 of 3x1x200).
Start from the top side and with the
3x1x250 spar. With the tip of the
Welders’ nozzle, squeeze glue into the
pre-cut slot.
Flip the elevator over to the bottom side
and ll the long slit with glue like was
done on the top side.
Make sure the spar is fully seated and
ush as shown, wipe away any glue
that squished out.
Lay the carbon spar into the slot.

Rev: 2015.11.30.v01a page 9
Install the 5x1x250 spar into the slot.
Make sure it is ush and wipe away
any extra glue.
Next is the two pieces that install as
pictured above. Some kits have 2 pieces
3x1x100, some have 1 piece 3x1x200. If
your kit has the 200mm long piece, cut
it in half.
Fill both slits with Welders.
Note that there is a small round nub,
and a pre-cut slot. these should line
up. Test t to verify.
Wings are joined together next. Note
that the bottom of the fuselage (side
with the servo cut outs) and the bottom
of the wings should be facing UP.
Install the 2 spars, again making sure
they are ush and wipe away any extra
glue. Set aside for now with some
weights to hold it at while the glue
dries.

Rev: 2015.11.30.v01a page 10
Do this for both sides. Double check
that you are working with the
BOTTOMS of all three parts facing UP.
The “Tack Up” method will be used to
join the wings to the fuselage. Apply a
medium bead of welders to the wing.
Bring the two parts together to transfer
the glue, then separate immediately.
Make sure that during the “transfering”
of glue process that an even coat is on
both mating surfaces. Let set for about
5 minutes. Then join the pieces making
sure to apply pressure....
Make sure the slit is clear where the
wing and fuselage meet. Test t the
spar to make sure it sits ush to the
surface of the wing.
Main spars are next, there is one for
the top and one for the bottom, they are
both 5x1x1000.
.... to the work surface in the area of
the slit for the spar. This will ensure
that the leading and trailing edges will
locate at the center of the fuselage.
Repeat for the other wing.
