Vision 3D Building Instructions
6.1
Overview and Useful Information
Welcome to the assembly instruction for you Vision 3D. These instructions
have been sequenced to make the handling of the model as easy as possible
and ensure that it is fitted out in a logical order.
For example the batteries are not fitted until very near to the end of the
assembly process, allowing them to be positioned to achieve a perfect centre
of gravity without the addition of extra, unnecessary weight.
Items such as radio gear, engine and other equipment/components are shown
as options and examples. As the owner and builder of this model you are at
liberty to substitute products of your own preference.
The Vision 3D is intended for experienced builders and pilots and NOT as a
first model. As such it is assumed that the builder will have previously
assembled other models.
Accordingly these instructions are not exhaustive as it is assumed that the
builder will have experience of the basics required to assemble a radio
controlled model aeroplane.
We strongly suggest that the builder obtains a foam cradle to hold the
fuselage during the assembly and fitting out process. This will provide support
and protect the covering from becoming damaged or marked when sitting on
a workbench surface.
We also recommend that the wings and stabs are placed on a large sheet of
soft foam during their assembly and fitting out, again to protect them against
marks or damage from a workbench surface.
6.2 Covering
It is important to seal all the edges of the film covering & trim of the
model with a sealing iron from out of the box before attempting to
fly the model – especially the up-wind portions. In the event that
any sections of film will not seal due to oil or dirt residue clean
them with Windex or 409 cleaner.
To greatly increase the life span of the covering it is advisable to
seal all the edges of the film with clear nail varnish. This procedure
will prevent trim from detaching during the life of the model.
