Assemble the fuselage from the back forwards. Here is a recommended sequence:
1.
Fuselage 7 and 8
glued together. With each Fuselage piece added you should run the piano
wire elevator and rudder push rods through the Bowden (which may need opening up
with a craft knife) to make sure it is lined up correctly.
2. Assemble the speed brake parts together and glue the CF tube hinge into
Fuselage 6
.
3. Glue the
Fuselage 6
and speed brake assembly to
Fuselage 7/8
.
4. Attach your speed brake piano wire pushrods to the speed brakes, then glue on Fuselage
5 to
Fuselage 6/7/8
. Now you can attach 2 servos to the bottom of
Fuselage 5
to actuate the
speed brakes. I usually attach the servos with a drop of hot glue.
5.
Fuselage 4
has a lot of parts. You need to sit the EDF in place. You will need to clear out
any stringing with a craft knife. Secure the EDF in place with a thin bead of hot glue on
the left and right side. This also provides rigidity to the part. Servos need to be put in
place with the wires fed into the fuselage centre, the servo horns should face inwards. If
using the retractable undercarriage the servo less retract should be set into the bottom
of
Fuselage 4
. The CF tubes, inside which the wing spars nest, should also be put in place.
6. You can now glue
Fuselage 4
to
Fuselage 5/6/7/8
. Be sure to run the servo wires up
through the fuselage belly.
7. Now glue on the
Horizontal and Vertical stabilisers
. The
rudder
can be assembled with the
Vertical Stab Top
glued on after the rudder and CF hinge have been installed.
8. The
Elevator
is a little more complex and uses a torque tube system. The larger CF tube
connect the two elevators together and rotates around the spar. Once the two elevators
are aligned together and glued to the torque tube the spar can be passed inside the
torque tube and the
Horizontal Stab Ends
glued on to finish the tail assembly
