Recommended Glues
Unless stated otherwise, use medium cyanoacrylate (CA) glue (KAV9952

using a water resistant white aliphatic resin, like our KAV9960 KAVAN White
Glue (alternatively, you can use this sort of glue for most of wood-to-wood

Warning!
This RC model you will build and fly is not a toy! Although it may seem to be li-
ght and slow in flight it is capable of serious bodily harm and property damage.
It is your responsibility and yours alone - to build this model correctly,
properly install RC equipment and motor and to test the model and fly in
Precautions
You must build the model according to the instructions. Do not alter or mo-
dify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe of unflyable model. Take
time to build straight, true and strong. Use proper radio and other equip-
ment that is in first class condition, properly install all the components and
test their correct operation before first and any further flight. Fly the model
only with competent help from a well experienced modeller if you are not
already an experienced RC pilot.

MODEL ASSEMBLY

Tail Surfaces
Everything has been designed extremely light; yet strong enough. The tail fe-
athers are removable for easy transport/storage.
◊ Trial fit the parts of the horizontal stabilizer, elevator, fin and rudder – no
glue yet! Sand as necessary to obtain perfect fit. (Fig. 1)
◊ Please note the opening for the fin fixing plate R10 is slightly offset to the
left in R13, T4 and T8 parts. You can turn the parts upside down having

◊ Receiver Battery: Panasonic Eneloop AAA 800mAh 4.8 V pack
joints). The highly loaded parts (wing roots, wing main spars, firewall etc.)
should be glued together using 30 minute (or slower) epoxy (like KAV9967
Epoxy 30min) offering high strength and enough time for the correct po-
sitioning.
◊ Modeller's pins
◊ Epoxy mixing stick and vessel
◊ Masking tape, clear sticky tape
◊ Rubbing alcohol (for cleaning up excessive epoxy)
◊ Paper tissue or soft cloth (for cleaning up excessive epoxy)
◊ Straightedge with scale
◊ Square edge
◊ Thin clear plastic film (for protecting the building plan)
◊ Permanent marker
◊ Modeller's sealing iron, heat gun (for covering)
◊ Lightweight balsa filler
accordance with all safety standards (and common sense) as set down in
Safety Codes valid in your country.
If you are just starting RC modelling, consult your local hobby shop or an
experienced modeller in your local RC club to find a good instructor.
Note: We, as the kit manufacturer, can provide you with a top quality kit
and instructions, but ultimately the quality and flyability of your finished
model depends on how you build it; therefore we cannot in any way gua-
rantee the performance of your completed model, and no representations
are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed
model.
the opening offset to the right; but whatever you choose, the offset of all
three parts HAS TO MATCH.
◊ Tack glue the plastic tubes R9 into the fin with a few drops of CA.
◊ Roughen the surface of the 3x0.5mm R12 carbon spar using No. 150 san-
dpaper and glue it with medium CA to the trailing edge of the fin. Glue
the T9 reinforcement strip to the centre part of the trailing edge of the
horizontal stabilizer in the same way.
