Completion

You will need

1.

Use ø2×385mm

carbon rod 2x as

elevons axles.
Don‘t insert them
all the way in at
this point in case
that you will need
to make pushrods
or other
adjustments.

Completion

Canopy, W_L_3_Cover, W_R_3_Cover,
ø2×385mm carbon rod 2x (elevons axles),
Steel wire, carbon rod or clevis (pushrods)
CA glue

3.

If everything moves
freely and pushrods
are installed correctly,
insert ø2×385mm car-

bon rod 2x all the way

in and secure them
with small drop of CA
glue to the elevons.

2.

Set elevons to neutral
position and install
pushrods. Make sure,
that everything moves
freely. If not, use sand
paper or drillbit and
make necessary
adjustments.

4.

Install RX and battery. Now you
are ready to start programming
servos and set right CG.

Center of gravity

CG is marked on
very tip of the F_1 part. After maiden ight you can shift CG slightly front or back
to t your ying style perfectly. Don‘t shift CG position too much at once, wing
can lose it‘s stability. It is also possible to change a little bit angle of the motor
with small washers to adjust behavior of the wing during ight. (It is a bit tricky
with assembled wing, but it is possible)

Before rst ight

Make sure, that your battery is properly charged. Check position of CG and
