Instructions Text
Receiver installation
The receiver can be installed in any position, but make sure that the antennas are in the front 2.4Ghz friendly fibre optic area and
have sufficient distance to live cables.
Optional:
Retractable landing gear installation
If you have decided to launch the GP-14 Velo by aerotow or self-launch with FES, folding impeller, proceed as follows:
In the first step, align the 3mm construction tension sleeve with the cut-outs in the bulkheads.
The landing gear bulkhead sits about 510mm behind the fuselage nose. The landing gear cut-out starts about 30mm behind it at
540mm. (Picture 33)
Sand all surfaces and parts as usual.
Now you can fix the construction traction sleeves to the inner fuselage wall with super glue. Then fill the gaps with thickened 24H
resin and laminate a layer of glass fabric over it (approx. 80g-160g). (Picture 34)
Now you can drill through the 4 corner points from above (1mm drill) approx. 3mm outside of the construction traction sleeve in order
to have a better orientation from below. However, you can also measure everything cleanly from below and then drill a thin test hole
from below. (Picture 35)
If everything fits, draw the landing gear doors and then cut them out with the help of a Dremel with a diamond cutting disc (0.5mm) or an oscil-
lating multitool (0.5mm blade). Now you can insert e.g. a 1.5mm steel wire as hinge axle from the front and the landing gear door installation is
completed.
You may have to rework the edges a little for easier running. (Picture 36)
Before the landing gear can be screwed in, attach 2 small eyelets to the landing gear doors, these can be easily bent from thin wire.
Connect them to the landing gear frame with the help of a rubber band or a thin steel spring. This ensures a clean closing of the landing gear
doors. (Picture 37)
The landing gear can now be screwed in.
FES. Installation
The moulded round GRP motor bulkhead is included in the kit and fits the recommended drive motor from drive kit #1-02968.
Note that camber or side draft is usually omitted on scale models to ensure the cleanest possible contour. If necessary, these settings can be added
later in the transmitter via a mixer function.
The spinner measures 50mm in diameter, a guide line is drawn on the tip of the fuselage with a pencil. Saw off the nose approx. 2mm before the
guide line. Then you still have enough reserve to slowly work your way to the perfect contour, for this we recommend a straight sanding bar.
When the nose has been sawn off and the contour has been adapted to the spinner, it is time to install the frame.
For this, the fuselage should be sanded on the inside in the gluing area, freed from unevenness and taped on the outside against dirt. The motor
should also be protected against dirt, then you can mount it on the bulkhead. This unit is now positioned in the fuselage without glue for testing
purposes and the driver / spinner is attached to the motor shaft from the front. If the spinner can be aligned exactly, fix the frame with a little 5-mi-
nute resin. After the resin has cured, dismantle the spinner and motor again and glue the former to the fuselage from both sides. It is advisable to
laminate a CFRP roving around the radius in front of the frame. (With additional 24-hour resin). Caution: do not use too much glue on the inside, so
that the engine will lie flat against the bulkhead again later.
EDF installation position
We recommend the Ceflix 350 folding impeller with 6s 7000mAh Lipo. This will give you a powerful, strong and solid powerplant. The enclosed
formers are tailored to this. (Picture 38/39)
For the EDF cut-out dimensions, please refer to the folding impeller manufacturer's instructions.
