Instructions

1.

Separate cores from their beds. Use the extra piece of EPP to lightly rub off the hairs left

over from the foam cutting process, you may need to use your fingers to pick off heavier hairs.

2.

Find the ply motor mount.  The laser cutting

process leaves the edges darker than the wood, if you
want to you can lightly sand the edges.

3.

If you are using an ASTRO 010 or equivalent,

leave the motor mount as it is and cut out the two
motor tie wrap holes towards the back of the mount.  If
you are using the stock motor, cut out the spacer in the
motor mount and the motor tie wrap holes closest to
the front of the mount.

4.

Using 5 minute epoxy, glue the motor mounts to

the center core.  Make sure that the mounts are
aligned to the shape of the wing core and that the two
cutouts at the back are on both top and bottom of the
wing.

4a. Once that is dry, epoxy the left and right wing
cores to the assembly.  Before the epoxy dries, make
sure that the wing cores line up.  Wait for the epoxy to
dry. Lightly sand the leading edge so that it is rounded.

5.

Mark the areas where you will recess your radio

gear.  You can put the gear where ever you like, but
here is the recommended location.  The servos are
placed on top of the wing  3 ½  inches behind the nose
and 1.5 inches to the left and right of the center ply
mount.  The servo wires are put through the wing and
into the ESC hole. The receiver and ESC location is on
the bottom of the wing.  Also mark where you will route
the wires .  If you are using the 2-cell 1200 LiPoly
batteries, place your radio gear as far forward as
possible so that you can retain the C.G. without adding
weigh (
