Velocity Slingjet
Tools needed to assemble this model:
Scale
Epoxy glue
CA glue
Permanent pencil
Philips screw-driver (Medium / Small)
Monkey wrench
Caution
Covering should be removed in areas
w here epoxy glue is apply’ed. D o not cut
into the the wood.
Scissor
Wire-cutter
Clear tape
Sharp hobby knife
Drill
You also need wire, to extend the servo
wires.

Fuselage
4
Pair the magnets two and two, and glue the lower magnet in place in
the fuselage, and the upper magnet in the canopy with Epoxy-glue
Place the canopy, over the magnets, when the epoxy-glue cures

Fuselage
5
When the epoxy-glue has cured, you have a canopy, which make a
Perfekt fit to the fuselage.
Trim the canopy glass, to the hatch, and fix it with canopy-glue or
tape

Fuselage
6
Glue the Nose in place with CAand/or tape

Tail-boom
7
Mark area which should be uncovered on both booms, here the LH
Do not cut into the wood when you cut the covering

Tail-boom
8
In the RH boom you should cut out for the servo, in center of the to
tail-fin dovels
Place the servo in the RH tail-boom, remenber to
extend the servo-wire, and let it travel trough the boom.

Tail-boom
9
Screw or glue with epoxy-glue the servo in place, and install
the linkage-stopper in the servo-horn, for later rod-installation
Drill a 4-5mm hole throuth the boom. Center 5mm behind
wing-spar. RH and LH are equal.

Aileron
10
Make a cut in center of aileron to make space for the hinge.
Glue the hinge in with thick CA, or epoxy-glue

Aileron
11
Glue the hinges in place as illustrated.
Glue the hinge in then wing with thick CA, or epoxy-glue, and move
The aileron up and down untill the glue has cured.

Aileron servo-installation
12
Cut out the aileron-servo-placement sheet, from the manual, and
place it on the wing as illustarted. LH and RH are equal
Cut out in the upper layer of wood, and remove foam to make space
for the aileron-servo.

Aileron servo-installation
13
Drill 4-5mm hole for servo-wire in the wing, aligned with the hole you
made in the boom for the servo-wire.
Pre-install servo, and route the RH aileron,servo wire and
the tail-servo wire throuth the hole in the boom. LH is equal but with-
out the tail-wire

Servo-wire installation
14
Drill 4-5mm hole for servo-wire in the outher center-part-wings,
alined to the hole in the boom
Drill two 4-5mm hole in the inner part of the center-part-wings. One
vertical, one horisontal, for routing the wires throuth the wings upper
skin. RH is equal but there are a tail-servo-wire too

Aileron servo-installation
15
You could use the stabilizer-axle for wire-routing. Tape the wire to
The axle and slide them trought the wing
The wires are now routed and be ready for glueing the wing-parts
together.

Wing
16
Apply epoxy-glue to all parts,boom, wing-spar, both wing-parts and
dowels. Hold every thing tight untill glue has cured. RH/LH is equal.
Booms must be parallel
Apply epoxy-glue, to both wing-parts and spar. The flat side of the
Wing-spar must be up, to make the correct v-shape on the wing.

Aileron
17
Cut a hole for the horn, in line with the servo-horn. Cut covering away
And glue in place with epoxy. Both side equal
On the lower side of the aileron press the horn-locking plate in place

Aileron
18
Drill hole in both horns, in both sides.
Install the linkage-stopper, glue the nut with CA. Center the servo
wih the radio, screw the servo-horn in place, and glue the servo in
place the epoxy-glue. Install and the push-pull rod. (Aileron centered)

Tail
19
Slide in the stabilizer axle into the stabilized. Do NOT glue it in.
Make a pre-fit test, to see how long the axle must go into the
Stabilizer-fins, take note of the RH one in first place.

Tail
20
Glue the axle into the RH fin, with epoxy-glue
Glue the fin to the RH fin-beam with epoxy-glue, remember to
remove the covering in the glueing area.
