8. Assembling the Model
Before assembling the model, please read each individual section carefully. The construction stages are
illustrated for better understanding.
Please note that the numbers in the text always refer to the components in the illustration to the right.
For design and colour of your model and the remote control, use the illustration, e.g. on the packaging for
reference. Design and colour deviations in these operating instructions are possible. The figures in these
operating instructions service illustrative purposes only.
Only carry out the steps described in the different sections if you have completely understood the proce-
dure and know exactly what to observe.
a) Mounting the Elevators and Rudders
Important!
For reasons of stability, the elevator and rudder must be permanently glued together. The tail unit then must
be glued to the fuselage firmly as well.
The accuracy of this work considerably influences the flight properties.
Try placing the rudder (1) in the intended slot in the eleva-
tor (2).
Imprecise fits should be carefully corrected with a cutter
knife and/or fine sand paper. Observe that removal of the
protective film of the double-sided adhesive tape provides
a little more clearance to facilitate assembly. Also check
if installation at a 90° angle is possible easily (figure 2).
If everything is perfect, the elevator and rudder must be
glued together with 5-minute epoxy-resin glue.
Apply a little glue to the left and right of the elevator slot.
Remove the protective foil from the rudder and push the
two parts together.
Fasten the two parts with adhesive tape until the glue
cures so that the 90°-angle is complied with. Adhesive
residue must be removed at once.
Then the tail unit (3) must be glued to the fuselage (4) with
5-minute epoxy-resin.
Try placing the tail unit (3) into the intended slot at the fu-
selage (4).
Imprecise fits should be carefully corrected with a cutter
knife and/or fine sand paper. Observe that removal of the
protective film of the double-sided adhesive type provides
a little more clearance to facilitate assembly.
