Upper shell assembly
Glue the balsa blocks into the inside as
shown on the photo and then drill the 4
mm holes in the large balsa block carefully
through the upper shell. Drill a 3 mm hole
through the small balsa block. Later it will
take the antenna tube. You may freely se-
lect the position of the antenna. Glue the
0.5 mm GRP plate centered to the bot-
tom of the electronics compartment. Then
place two of the hook and loop tapes into
position as shown.

As shown in the picture screw the two brass
balls centered onto the two humps on the upper
shell. Use the two Allen Head screws M 2 x 10.
Secure them from the underside with a washer
and a self locking nut.
Screw the GRP main motor mount to the upper
shell (carefully pre-drill the holes!). Secure the
screws from the inside with a washer and a self
locking nut.
Tip: run the servo cable from the rear through the
slot in the motor mount before this assembly.
Glue the two brass sleeves into the 4 mm holes.
The sleeves should extend at the top by about
6 mm.
Then screw the two M2 threaded rods into the
ball connectors and insert these into the CRP
tubes. Slip a washer and a silicone sleeve (9
mm) over the exposed end and insert the rod
into the oblong holes of the mount. Secure them
on the opposite side with a self locking nut (do
not tighten it yet). Now bend the threaded rod
downward until the ball connector slips over the
brass ball.
