FOXX
is a powerful pylon racer. Building materials are mostly balsa and light-ply to achieve a light yet strong structure for maximum flying
performance. Due to its considerable top speed this model is recommended for experienced pilots only. We use mostly laser-cut parts for maximum
precision and to speed up the building process. Wing spars are spruce with sheet webs at the wing root for additional strength. Power is provided by
suitable inrunners with a diameter of 28 mm.
Construction should be according to the step-by-step instructions provided in this manual. Use the parts list to identify the included stripwood and
hardware. Always check that parts fit perfectly and correct, if necessary, before you glue. Give
glue sufficient time to dry or cure, before you proceed to the next step.
We recommend white glue (if not otherwise noted) for gluing, which offers good strength and
low weight. White glue retains a certain degree of elasticity after the glue has cured and will
stand up to any loads which occur during flying.

Protect your building board with cling film and position
right fuselage side R 1 on building board.
Attention:
The fine lines indicating the position of
the canopy need to be visible on the outside of the
fuselage!
Glue in place wing support R 10 together with formers
R 4 and R 5. Make sure R 10 follows contour of wing
cut-out exactly. Remove any glue from slot at rear end
of R 10.

Tips & Hints
Laser-cut parts are retained in laser sheets by
means of small tabs. Use a sharp modelling
knife to cut the tabs. Do not remove parts by
hand to avoid damage!
