Introduction:
VIGORSKY has been committed to the development and production of propeller aircraft for years. All
planes are designed by a model plane enthusiast and college professor, Hongyu, who has a good command
of three - dimensional designing and masters complicated knowledge of dynamics. He and his team have
never stopped enhancing the products from the year it was founded.
VFO (Vertical Flying Object) , which has a unique appearance and performance, can take off and hover
just like helicopters. With the symmetrical wings, it can fly stably at very low speed.

2. All the control surfaces are pre-installed, which makes it easy to assemble.
Install the upper horizontal fuselage. Apply some glue to the contact area. Make sure everything is square.
The “Tack Up” method will be used to join the wings to the fuselage. Apply a medium bead of glue to the
wing. Bring the two parts together to transfer the glue, and then separate immediately.

5. Install the motor mount supports.
Glue the two motor mount supports, and adjust it if necessary to make mounting holes to be aligned. When
dry, glue it to the nose.
Install the motor mount.
Apply some glue to the correspondingsurface, set aside for 3 minutes before bonding, and then stick it to
the nose of the fuselage as pictured above.

6. Make push rods.
Locate the following carbon rods, which will be used to strengthen the fuselage.
Put glue on pushrod by dipping it into the glue nozzle.
Insert the carbon rods into the pre-cut holes. Look carefully for the holes.
Finish supporting the aircraft as shown in the picture.

9. Locate all the following items. Cut the heat-shrink tubing into four pieces as shown.

11 / 14
Make the push rods by connecting 1.5mm diameter carbon rod with Z-shaped steel wire instead of push
rod linkage stopper.
Fix the Z-shaped wire and the carbon rod with heat-shrink tubing. Make all of the control rods needed in
the same way
10 Apply some glue to the profiles of the servos.. Install the servos to the fuselage.

12 / 14
Pay attention to the direction of the servo arms.
11. Solder the ESC and the motor.
Connect the ESC with the motor. It is better to solder the ESC and the motor, and cover the joint with
heat-shrink tubing, which can reduce the weight of VFO.
