Note: Please watch the Animation and Assembly Video before reading the details below by clicking the following button if you have not done so. The videos explain the relationship between parts but not including details guide and alignment.
Preparing Required Hardware (Fiber Carbon Pin/3D Printed Plastic Pin, Fiber Carbon Spar and Rod)
- The fiber carbon tube pin can be replaced with 3D printed one.
- There are two size of pins for fiber carbon and 3D printed one: 15mm and 30mm long.
- The rod is used as push rod connecting control surface horn with servo arm.
- Fiber carbon tube shown on the right side figure is used as wing spar (not all Models require it).
- Use fiber carbon rod to save some weight if necessary.
Guide and/or Alignment Tools or Mechanism for Fuselage and Wing
Tools used for fuselage and wing guide and/or alignment are depicted in the figures below:
Gluing Two Parts
- Use thick CA for bonding two parts so that it will also fill the gaps.
- Press firmly so that there is no gap between joining surfaces.
- Use CA accelerator right after joining (for faster cure time).
- Good practice if you coat the joining surface area with thin CA so that it will add more bonding strength. It will minimize risk breaking on that area due to weak bonding.
