Foreword
The GRAUPNER
CLUB STAR II
is an elegant,
ultra-lightweight
glider (electric
glider). The design features particular emphasis on low all-up weight, which is reflec-
ted in the model’s excellent performance and handling. The
CLUB STAR II
’s flying
characteristics make it the ideal model for the beginner: its generous wing area and
carefully selected airfoil endow the glider with very docile and neutral handling quali-
ties. The
CLUB STAR II
features a GRP fuselage, while the wing and tail panels are
of balsa construction: ribs and spars for the wing, laser-cut strip tail construction.
The aeroplane features a two-part wing for ease of transport - it can even be carried
in a bag on a bicycle. A certain amount of real construction work is required to com-
plete the model, which only requires a simple four-function radio control system.
Please observe the safety notes at the end of the building instructions.
During construction
RC system components and the control surface linkages must be installed at the ap-
propriate stage of construction, as it may be very difficult or even impossible to fit
them later.
The building instructions
In general terms the instructions reflect the sequence of assembly. The following
notes simply provide a fuller explanation where necessary.
If you wish to deviate from the order of building described in the text, that is left to
your own discretion.
Please bear in mind that balsa knifes, modelling pins, the ends of thin wire parts etc.
are pointed or sharp, and are easily capable of causing injury.
Ensure that children do not have access to modelling tools, adhesives or paints.
Always work in a well-ventilated room when using solvent-based adhesives.
Take waste glue and paint to your local toxic waste collection centre for disposal.
A large, unobstructed workbench is a great advantage for all modelling tasks.
