Important note - repairs
This model is not made of styrofoam™, and it is not possible
to glue the material using white glue or epoxy. Please be
sure to use cyano-acrylate glue exclusively, preferably in
conjunction with cyano activator (“kicker”). We recommend
medium-viscosity cyano. This is the procedure: spray cyano
activator on one face of the Elapor®; allow it to air-dry for two
minutes, then apply cyano adhesive to the other face. Join
the parts, immediately position them accurately, and wait a
few seconds for the glue to harden.
Please take care when handling cyano-acrylate adhesives.
These materials harden in seconds, so don’t get them on
your fingers or other parts of the body. We strongly
recommend the use of goggles to protect your eyes. Keep
the adhesive out of the reach of children.
Before assembling the model:
Please check the contents of your kit before you start work.
You will find
Figs. 1 + 2 and the Parts List helpful here. Please
note that some parts supplied in the glider kit differ from those
in the electric version.

Opening and closing the canopy
To open the canopy hold it by the rear portion and pull it up and
back.
Fig. 3
To close the canopy insert the front locating lug in the fuselage
and press it down at the rear until it snaps into place. Take care
to deploy all cables inside the fuselage in such a way that they
do not obstruct the canopy when it closes; the wires must not
be jammed between the canopy latches, as this could damage
them. Once the RC system has been installed in the model,
the cables can be deployed neatly using a cable tie or a drop of
hot-melt adhesive.
Electric version: the motor / gearbox assembly can be removed
from the fuselage at any time if necessary; all you have to do is
remove the spinner and propeller hub beforehand. Press the
motor retainer
13.1 down and pull the motor unit out to the rear.

Final assembly
1. Rudder hinge
Fit the leading edge of the rudder 13 on the hinge to ensure that
the hinge slot is correctly positioned; you may need to adjust it
slightly using a balsa knife. Take care not to cut yourself! The
slot in the rudder must be about 3 to 4 mm longer than the
hinge, to ensure that the fin and tailplane can be attached easily
to the fuselage later.
Fig. 5
2. Freeing the elevator and rudder
Move the rudder and elevator to and fro repeatedly to “free up”
the hinge - don’t separate the control surfaces!
3. Gluing the tailplane and fin together
Glue the fin 13 to the tailplane 12 , taking care to set them exactly
at 90° to each other. Use a setsquare or similar tool to check
this.
Fig. 6 (1
st
step)
4. Gluing the tail assembly to the fuselage
Offer up the tailplane / fin assembly to the fuselage, and check
that the parts fit together snugly. First push the hinge into the
rudder, then move the tail assembly forward into final position.
Check in particular that the tailplane 12 fits on the fuselage
without any gaps, and lies parallel to the wing saddle (at the
front of the fuselage). You can check this easily by placing the
wing joiner tube
40 across the wing saddle and securing it
temporarily with paper masking tape. Now sight along the
fuselage from the nose and check that the wing joiner is paral-
lel to the tailplane.
If the parts can easily be aligned correctly, it is safe to glue the
tailplane to the fuselage using cyano. Glue the hinge in the
rudder at the same time, but take care that no glue gets onto
the hinge pivot, as this might jam it. Check once more that
everything is aligned properly, and that there are no gaps, before
allowing the adhesive to cure. If you neglect this and glue the
tail in place askew, you will regret it for the whole life of the
model.

5. Securing the elevator and rudder pushrods
Slip the plain end of the steel pushrods through the pushrod
connectors. Set the servos and control surfaces to neutral
(centre), then secure the pushrods by tightening the socket-
head grubscrews using the allen key
29 .
Figs. 7 + 8
6. Checking the wing joiner
Assemble the wing panels with the help of the wing joiner 40 .
You may have to push the joiner a few mm further into the foam
using a twisting motion.
Now assemble the model using the joined wing. Draw the
aileron cables through the opening in the fuselage and forward
(this is easy using a home-made puller made of steel rod with
a hook at one end). Check that the wing fits correctly (without
gaps) in and against the fuselage, and carry out any minor
adjustments required. This is the procedure: hold the wings
between your fingers at the point where they mate with the
fuselage, and carefully compress the foam.
Note: the wings must not be glued to the fuselage.
This ensures that the model can be dismantled at any time for
ease of transport.

Radio installation - general information
The rest of the receiving system components can now be
installed in the cabin area. Do bear in mind the stated Centre of
Gravity (CG) when positioning the receiver and battery. You can
adjust the model’s balance point if required by re-positioning
the batteries.
Hook-and-loop tape is supplied in the kit for securing these
components.
In both versions the receiver should be installed aft of the
servos. The receiver aerial should be drawn through the plastic
sleeve in the fuselage (already installed). The easiest method
of doing this is to prepare a length of thin steel wire with a
pointed tip, and slip it through the aerial sleeve from the tail
end. Push the tip inside the insulation of the aerial wire, apply a
tiny drop of cyano to join the two together temporarily, then draw
the aerial through the sleeve by pulling on the wire from the tail
end.

MagicMixer #1 (optional) # 7 3000
The MagicMixer #1 enables you to fly the model using a simple
RC system transmitter without mixer functions. All you need is:
EasyGlider
Two-channel transmitter
EasyGlider Electric Three-channel transmitter
Without the MagicMixer #1 you would need at least a four-
channel computer transmitter with mixer functions for these
models.
