General notes on construction

Observe the safety instructions and instructions for the required adhesives and tools.
During construction, super glue is used in conjunction with activator spray to glue the foam parts. Make sure that the room is well-ventilated. The correct procedure for this is to spray one surface to be glued thinly with the activator spray and allow this part to flash off for about ½ minute. Apply the super glue to the other surface and then join the parts together.
If you are inexperienced in building models, we recommend that you consult an experienced person.

Assembly

1. Make control surfaces smooth running
   Bend the control surfaces upwards and place a weight on them. Leave the control surfaces bent upwards like this for approx. 1 hour.

2. Assembling the wing
   Join the wings (1 / 2) and the wing center section (3). Use either hot glue or superglue with activator spray.

3. Gluing in the CFRP rods Ø1.5×660 mm (7)
   Cut a 660 mm long slit in the foam on the top and bottom side, approx. 3 mm in front of the recesses of the vertical stabilization surfaces.
   Press the CFRP rods into the slots and run thin superglue over them (in small amounts), then spray a little activator spray over them.

4. Gluing in the CFRP rods Ø1.5×300 mm (8).
   The CFRP rods Ø1.5×300 mm (8) are glued in place on the upper and lower sides parallel to the CFRP rods Ø1.5×660 (7) mm, with a spacing of 115 mm. Proceed in the same way as described above.
   

5. Installation of the servos
   Prepare servos ( here: DITEX EL0315M): Set the servo to its center before screwing on the servo arm. Use either your remote control or a servo tester to do this. Screw on the servo arms in mirror-inverted.
   Cut the servo nest according to the contour of your servo if it does not fit into the existing servo nest. Adjust the cable lengths accordingly (soldering/use of extension cables).
   To integrate the cables into the wings, slit the foam material and press the cables into it. To prevent the cable from breaking, cut radii of at least 1 cm. Secure the cables with a few dots of hot glue. The servos can also be fixed with three to four dots of hot glue.

6. Connecting the control surfaces
   Separate the control horns (10) from each other with a sharp knife and deburr the parts.
   Glue The rudder horns are in place with super glue as shown. The foam material must be slit the according to positions.
   

7. Rod assembly
   Glue the threaded sleeves (13) to the CFRP rods Ø1.5×125 mm (11) using super glue. Then check the distance between the servo horn and the rudder horn to adjust the rod length if necessary. Then screw the clevises (12) onto the threaded sleeves (13) and on the other side glue the clevises directly to the ends of the CFRP rods with super glue as shown.
   Connect the clevises (12) to the servo arms and control horns (10) by pushing the enclosed locking pins (14) through the clevises (12) and servo arms/control horns (10). A small pair of flat-nose pliers are helpful for snapping them into place.

8. Glue motor bulkhead
   Glue the motor bulkhead (9) into the recess of the wing center section (3) using medium or thick superglue.
   

9. Glue on skid/motor bulkhead support
   Separate the skid (6a) and the motor bulkhead support (6b) from each other using a sharp knife. Glue the parts together with hot glue or superglue with an activator as shown. If necessary, the receiver can already be inserted in the recess.
   Trim the shape of the skid in the nose area with a sharp knife.
   

10. Installation of the speed controller
    The controller should be mounted on top to protect it from getting wet when landing in the grass. Use a screwdriver or similar to pierce the foam material to create a passage for the cable to the receiver. Adjust the cable length if possible.
    Fasten the controller with double-sided adhesive tape, for example.

11. Construction of the battery shaft
    Insert the GRP part “Front battery bay” (15), as well as the threaded insert (16) into the corresponding recesses and glue the parts with thin super glue.
    Insert the battery compartment cover (17) as shown and secure it with the locking screw (18).
    

12. Attaching the vertical stabilizers
    Glue the end plates (4) either with hot glue or with superglue (use an activator). The lower edge must be flush with the underside of the wing.
    Glue the Wing fences (5) either with hot glue or with superglue (use activator) into the recesses provided for this purpose as shown.

13. Installation of the motor
    Observe the instructions for your motor for mounting!
    The installation of the Hacker A20-34S is shown here.
    There are already holes in the motor bulkhead (9). Since the hole pattern of the mounting cross is not the same, it is mounted slightly twisted to gain distance to the existing holes. Mark the new holes and drill the holes. Select a suitable hole diameter for the screws with which you will later fasten the motor.
    The contacts to the controller (X-12) must be adapted to gold plugs Ø3.5 mm. The shaft must be shifted accordingly for use as a pusher (observe motor instructions!).
    Screw the motor to the mounting cross, applying a small amount of medium-strength locking varnish to the screws. Fit the motor to the motor bulkhead with suitable screws.
    Mount the propeller (APC; 6×5,5E) and make sure that no cables can get into the propeller.
    The cables can be fixed to the motor bulkhead support with hot glue.

14. Insert battery
    Insert your battery into the slot. Our TopFuel ECO-X 500-3S fits in just fine. If you want a little more flight time, you can also use our TopFuel ECO-X 900-3S, but you will have to enlarge the battery bay a little by cutting out some foam material towards the threaded insert.
    Check the fit of the battery by attaching the battery compartment cover (17). If your battery is too small, you can also clamp in a piece of foam rubber.

15. Adjusting the center of gravity position
    The center of gravity must be 165 mm behind the nose. Depending on the components used, you may need to glue trim weights (e.g. screws or fishing lead) into the nose. In this case, it is advisable to cut recesses in the side walls of the battery bay.

16. Set the model on the transmitter
    In the model, the aileron and elevator functions must be mixed (elevons). Therefore, the model type “delta” must be set at the transmitter, or a delta mixer must be activated.
    Rudder deflections, recommendation:
    Symmetrical, measured at the trailing edge at the center of the model (greatest depth of the control surfaces)
    Elevator: +/-20 mm
    Aileron: +/-35 mm
    Recommended Expo setting:
    Elevator: -20%
    Aileron: -30%
    

17. Flying
    Querruder links: Linkes Ruder bewegt sich nach oben, rechtes Ruder bewegt sich nach unten
    Check the direction of travel of the control surfaces – viewed from the rear:
    Elevator pulled: Both control surfaces move up
    Elevator pressed: Both control surfaces move downward
    Aileron right: Right control surface moves up, left control surface moves down
    Aileron left: Left control surface moves up, right control surface moves down

Start:
Takeoff:
On a model with a thrust screw, there is a risk of injuring yourself on the propeller. To avoid this, you can throw the model first and then turn on the motor if you want to hold it by the skid. You can also grab the model off- center at the leading edge and throw it from a turning motion with the motor running (see graphic). Take off and land the model against the wind.
