Introduction
The ELEKTRO-ROOKIE QR is an RC model aircraft designed expressly for the
newcomer to model flying, and offers a superb performance in the air. Either the
rudder or the ailerons can be set up as the primary directional control. If you intend
only to fit rudder control at first, it is nevertheless an easy job to fit working ailerons at
a later stage. For safety reasons the model’s all-up weight should not exceed 850 g.

Building instructions
Please start by reading right through these building instructions, so that you gain an
overall understanding of how the model goes together. Lay out the components
required for each stage of construction, together with the tools and adhesives. When
working on the model always keep the bench surface clean and smooth, or cover it
with a sheet of soft foam; this avoids damage to the model’s surfaces. Unless stated
otherwise, use cyano-acrylate glue (“cyano”) and activator (“kicker”) for all joints on
this model: the best method is to apply adhesive to one side of the joint, and spray
activator on the mating surface. Please take particular care to avoid adhesive getting
on your hands or the surface of the model: wipe off excess glue immediately using
kitchen paper (paper towel).
Caution: cyano-acrylate adhesives must not be allowed to come into contact
with any part of your body, and especially not your eyes. For this reason we
recommend that you wear goggles when building the model. Store all glues
well out of the reach of children. For safety reasons use the adhesive stated
above exclusively.
Please take the time to read through the operating instructions for the
BRUSHLESS CONTROL 18 speed controller, which is supplied in the motor set.
