Building instructions
Congratulations, you have chosen a quality product MADE IN GERMANY.
Please read these instructions carefully before beginning construction and then proceed
with the step by step construction.
General information about the model:
The
INNOVATION
is a small electric glider (or sailplane) with fully-sheeted wings.
Despite the low flying weight, the model can be flown even with some light winds.
The wing profile MB 971 is used and contributes to this models ability.
With conscientious structure, higher speeds can be achieved.
Tools and adhesives:
Modelling knife, small balsa plane, 100 and 320 grit sandpaper, a straight building board about 50 x 90 cm
Superglue, thin CA and thick CA . UHU plus fast or 5 minute epoxy.
The corresponding pictograms are inserted in the individual construction sections for the adhesive notes.
White glue can also be used for wood joints. However, it is not as easy to sand and causes slightly higher
weight. The parts should all be allowed to fully cure and be secured with needles or weights.
Construction:
The temperature and humidity of the plan can lead to dimensional differences to the components.
The adhesives given in this manual are only suggestions.
For large-area gluing, a thick liquid adhesive is suitable. To do this apply the adhesive to the component and
then "float" and align. Do not worry, the component can still be moved.
Now press the component at a corner, check, press on the opposite corner as well.
If everything fits, press the entire component.
The side panels are reinforced in the required areas by doublers made of balsa or plywood.
The ribs and the spar web are pre-cut.
The wings are built in three parts and are fully sheeted.
Due to the low profile thickness, tie bars are used.
The spar web and the ribs are inserted into the lower sheeting for a simple construction.
To sand the airfoil, profiled templates are attached for the important leading edge.
The wings of our test models were covered with ORACOVER.
The rudder deflections given in this manual are a basic setting for the first flights.
These can easily be adapted to your style of flying.
ENJOY your Innovation!
