General Building Tips
•
Use only foam safe glue to attach the foam sections. Regular CA will dissolve the
foam.
•
Don’t remove any pieces from the balsa sheets until they’re ready to be used. That
way, parts won’t get mixed up or disappear.
•
After you remove pieces from the balsa sheets, carefully remove any of the extra
material from where the piece was attached.
•
Don’t over force your pieces together. If they aren’t going together properly, make
sure you have the right pieces and that they are oriented correctly.
•
If you want to remove the charred edges caused by the laser cutting process,
dampen a cloth with bleach and gently rub the affected areas. Removing the char
will not increase the strength but will make it look better.
Assembly Instructions
Assemble the Wing
The first thing you are going to assemble is the wing of your airplane. This involves
assembling the wing halves, inserting the vertical spar, attaching the spar strips, and then
applying the packing tape.
Do not let non-foam safe CA touch the foam. Regular CA will dissolve the foam.
1. Glue the wing halves together with 5 minute epoxy or white glue. You can hold them
together with tape while the glue sets. Be sure that the two halves line up correctly.
Do not worry about the dihedral angle. The wings are cut with the proper angle at
the factory.
