FW5 FloW Building Instruction Juni 2010
ASSEMBLING THE MODEL
General information on DLG-models
DLG-models are constructed strong enough to withstand the demands of starting, flying and landing
and at the same time light enough to achieve the least possible flying weight. Each part is
dimensioned to its possible minimum and produced using lightest and fewest material.
In order to continue this concept, please account the following when you assemble the model:
- Always
use glue sparingly
.
Grind
all gluing spots
thoroughly
, before you apply the glue.
-
Electronic components
should be
placed as far as possible to the front,
as you normally need
additional lead in the nose of the fuselage to achieve the necessary centre of gravity.
-
For the same reason try to
save weight
especially when you
finish and mount the stabilizer
.
-
If you don’t have any experience in working with resin or if you prefer an easier method, you can
combine the
carbon rovings and glass fibre with super glue
: Put some drops of super glue on
the rovings or the fibre, spread and press it with a (rustling) plastic bag. You will also save one or
the other gram with this method.
As FW5 FloW has developed from the Fireworks-family, you will find some pictures of Fireworks 4 and
also Mini-Fireworks in the following instruction. Don’t let yourself be confused by this, the way of
building described is quite the same.
