Assembly Notes for "DAISY"
Before opening the glue, oil the threads on all bolts with "After-Run" oil (available from Green Hobby),
this prevents all kind of problems later! Wherever instructions suggest gluing to the epoxy fuselage, pre-
roughen up the smooth epoxy with fine sandpaper to give the glue a better "key" to adhere onto.
USEFUL TOOLS
:
Needle or point nose pliers; "pin vise" modellers drill, drill bits from 2mm to 4mm, needle files, small wire
cutters, scalpel set, a little oil, epoxy glue, matchsticks for introducing epoxy into difficult to reach places,
soldering iron with electronic grade solder & flux paste, connecting plugs for nimh battery connections to
speed controller. All modelling tools are available from Green Hobby, and once purchased, will last you
for many years.
SAFETY
: All electric aircraft have self start capability, this is absent in glow engined models. Because
of this both new modellers and modellers new to electric flight should always bear in mind the possibility
of the prop beginning to spin unexpectedly, if there is a nimh battery connected up. We call plugging in
the nimh "arming the plane", if your plane is armed, the transmitter should be "ON" to shout down
background interference that might switch the motor on. Ensure throttle stick is at down-throttle off.
The plane should be on a stand, so the prop is free to spin, and the motor will not burn out due to a
stalled prop. The modeller should also never stand to the side of a spinning prop - in front OK (if the
plane is stationery!), behind OK (recommended), but never to the side, a prop blade (or stone) could fly
out at high speed without warning, injuring anybody present there.
Remember: this is a REAL aircraft, it will be dangerous if not used carefully. Keep away from
bystanders. Even when being used properly, mishaps will occasionally happen, so due caution should
be exercised. Give respect to the propeller which is extremely sharp, the batteries which if shorted can
cause fire, the aircraft which needs maintenance before flights, your piloting skills which will improve but
never achieve perfection, and radio interference. In short - allow for problems and fly safely.
TAIL
: Locate the two pairs of
holes in the top of the epoxy
fuselage, near the tail. The
rearward pair are tapped with a
thread to accept bolts holding the
stabiliser-elevator on later. The
forward pair of holes, not tapped
give you correct location of the
vertical stabiliser fin-rudder.
Using a Stanley knife or scalpel,
make two cuts joining the forward
pair of holes, and remove the thin
strip of epoxy, making a slot. Now
you can trial fit your fin, sanding
the slot with a fine file, or scraping
with the scalpel for best fit.
