Special Note:
You should charge your radio system before starting to
build. Following the manufacturer's directions, connect
your transmitter and receiver batteries to the system's
charger. This way the radio will be ready when it is time
to install and test the components.
Prepare the wing joiners
both sides of one of the wing joiners. Sandwich this
coated joiner between the remaining two. Make sure
that the centerlines drawn in step 1 are visable on both
sides of the assembly. Quickly proceed through the
following steps (3 and 4) before the glue cures.
Remove the excess epoxy
D 1. Locate the three 1/8" (3mm) die-cut plywood
wing joiners. Arrange the "V'-shaped joiners in the
same orientation as they will be glued together. Sand
off any bumps from the edges. Draw a centerline on
two of the joiners as shown.
D 3. Excess epoxy will squeeze out of the seams
between the joiners and must be removed before the
epoxy is allowed to cure. Use a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol to remove the excess epoxy.
Glue the wing joiners
Note: Please read steps 2 through 4 before mixing epoxy.
D 2. Mix approximately 1/4 oz. (7.5ml) of 30-minute
epoxy using a mixing stick and a cup. Using a mixing
stick or epoxy brush, apply an even coat of epoxy on
Clamp the wing joiner
D 4. Use clothespins to clamp the wing Joiners firmly
together. If any more epoxy squeezes out, remove it
using a paper towel. Make sure the joiners are evenly
lined up with each other. Set the joiner assembly aside
until the epoxy has fully cured.
