The rubber will be doubled over and a knot needs to be tied 
in one end. First measure the length needed so that when it 
is doubled up on the hook it doesn’t hang down (as shown 
below)

                                                 You can attach the rubber at the back by opening up this joint. 
 
 
You are now ready for test flying. First do a test glide and then start with just ½ a row of knots in the rubber. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Once the plane is trimmed for flight you can shoes to glue all the parts in place if desired.

Adjust the angle of incidence on the 
tailplane by packing or closing this 
gap.  You can hold it in place with 
some masking tape while test flying.

Summary of Contents for SloFly

Page 1: ...p Skill Level Required Intermediate The SloFly is not a snap together kit There is a degree of trimming and gluing to be done to construct the body formers and wings as well as sanding of the prop blades Finally test gliding and trimming is required to produce a good flight path This involves adjusting the position of the centre of balance increasing down thrust on prop and adjusting the incidence...

Page 2: ...e leading edge of the wing tip Use foam safe glue to glue on the wing tips Try to use as little glue as possible The angle on the wing tip piece when joined to the main wing will give a natural dihedral We recommend using UHU POR Expanded Polystyrene for gluing the foam parts Product Link For the Low Wing design the wing brace parts are glued together as shown here and the two rubber pieces can be...
