Further,  you  must  check,  that  the 

distance

  between  the 

end of the boom

 and 

both wingtips

 is the same.  

 
If  all  alignments  are  correct,  glue  the  boom 

with  epoxy-

glue

 to the middle part of the fuselage.  

 
In addition, the 

boom

 must be 

glued to the bottom of the 

fuselage

 (see picture above). 

 
 

Before you fix the servoboard inside the fuselage, 

strengthen

 the board 

with a

 

carbon roving

.  

 
You can glue the roving with super glue or epoxy glue.  
 
We  recommend  to 

install  all  electronical  components 

provisionally  before

  (see  chapter  8)  you  glue  the  board 

and  try  to  mount  the  canopy.  So  you  will  be  sure,  that 
everything fits inside. 

 
 

In order to 

gain full strength

, it is absolutely necessary to 

fix the servoboard

 in the fuselage! 

 
Strengthen the edges

 of the servo board with 

super glue

 
Glue  the  board 

with  epoxy-glue 

to  the  boom  (see  picture 

above) and to the sides of the fuselage.  
 
If you have a 

hard landing

, always 

check

 if the servoboard 

is still fully glued before you make the next start!
