• LW-PLA (cannot be replaced by PLA!), ~100 grams
• PLA or Tough PLA, ~20 grams
• CA super glue (liquid and medium)
• CA activator
• Foam board 3 mm uncoated!* (or Foam like Depron, Styropor or EPP, you can see how much you need on the next page
– Such boards are also available separately in model shops)
• UHU POR glue (or another glue suitable for Depron)
• Carbon rod Ø1*1000mm, 3 pieces
• Carbon fi ber strip (fl at profi le) 1*5*1000mm, 1 piece
• a few short pieces of thin steel wire, approx. Ø0.6 mm (for the linkages)
• thin smooth nylon silk Ø approx. 0.2 to 0.3 mm (Fishing line)
• Adhesive tape
• Self adhesive velcro tape
– basic equipment
* These parts cannot be printed for weight reasons, LW PLA is much heavier than foam.

Cutting template for the Depron parts
Print out these two pages on A4 paper, cut them along the red dotted line and tape the pages together exactly. Then cut out the templates for the wing, ailerons, elevator and rudder. Fix them to the Depron board and cut two pieces from each (aileron and wing)
and one rudder and elevator.
IMPORTANT: the print must be set to 100% page size, so that the size fits exactly!

Printing the parts – Printing profiles
This manual is constantly being improved and supplemented, we recommend downloading the latest version from our website before building.
To print all PLANEPRINT models you need to set some basic profiles in Cura (If you use another slicer, please set the same parameters).
You can find the description at
For this model you need the following profile:

Cut these two edges at an angle of about 40°. You can also use sandpaper for this.
Rudder
Elevator
The hinges are simply made with thin adhesive tape. To ensure that the tape holds well, you should coat the adhesive area with UHU POR beforehand. When the glue is dry, fi rst stick the tape to the elevator/ rudder, then attach it to the fuselage.
Leave a small gap so that the elevator/rudder can be moved easily.

It is easier to insert the carbon rods into the fuselage from the front.
Make sure that the rods are guided through all eyelets!
Shrink tubing or tape
Steel wire Ø0.6 mm
Carbon rods Ø1*60 mm
Prepare two linkages as shown here
Glue the control horns to the elevator and rudder. When positioning the control horn on the elevator, make sure that it cannot get caught on the fuselage when the elevator is moved downwards!

NOTE With Depron you must use UHU POR
(or another glue suitable for Depron). Coat
both sides and allow the glue to dry. Then position the control horn on the foam part.

Insert the carbon fi ber strip into the fuselage and align it exactly in the middle. Then let some thin CA glue run into the gap so that it is fi xed to the fuselage.
Carbon fi ber strip 1*5*1000mm
Glue the carbon rod into the gap in the wing from below.
Carbon rod Ø1*215 mm
Glue the wing foam parts to the wing and fuselage as shown in the picture. For Depron use UHU POR (again, coat both sides, allow to dry! and only then glue together).
Wing part
Then attach the wing to the carbon strip and apply some medium CA glue to the tab on the fuselage. Push the wing all the way onto the fuselage. Now let thin CA glue fl ow into the gap along the entire carbon strip.

Aileron Servo mount
Glue the control horns to the underside of the ailerons so that one half sticks out at the bottom and one at the top. For Depron, use UHU POR again as described above.
Now it gets a little tricky:
Cut a 1600 mm long piece of fi shing line and tie one end to the lower horn of the Aileron. Then thread the other end into the hole so that it comes out around the bend below the wing.
Now thread the other end of the line into the wing in the opposite direction from below. This must protrude from the top and be tied to the upper horn.

Aileron Servo mount
Set the aileron to neutral and gently tension the fi shing lines. Now put a drop of UHU POR in the gap on the servo lever so that the fi shing line runs in the glue and can also be pulled when the glue is hard (therefore UHU and not CA glue). This way you can adjust the tension later if necessary.
Then do this again in reverse with the other aileron. When arranging the lines, make sure that the ailerons work in opposite directions!

The STL data (or data processed from it, such as G codes) must never be passed on to third parties!
The purchase of the STL does not authorize the production of models for third parties.
By using the download data, an RC model airplane, called „model“ for short, can be manufactured using a 3D printer. As a user of this model, only you are responsible for safe operation that does not endanger you or others, or that does not damage the model or property of others.
PLANEPRINT.com assumes no responsibility for damage to persons and property caused by pressure, transport or use of the product. Filaments, printing supplies, hardware or consumables that can not be used after faulty 3D printing will not be replaced by PLANEPRINT.com in any way.
When operating, always keep a safe distance from your model in all directions to avoid collisions and injuries.
This model is controlled by a radio signal. Radio signals can be disturbed from outside without being able to influence it. Interference can lead to a temporary loss of control.
Always operate your model on open terrains, far from cars, traffic and people.
Keep all chemicals, small parts and electrical components out of the reach of children.
Avoid water contact with all components that are not specially designed and protected. Moisture damages the electronics.

Never operate your model with low batteries in the trans­mitter or model.
Always keep the model in view and under control. Use only fully charged batteries.
Always keep the transmitter switched on when the model is switched on.
Always remove the battery before disassembling the model.
Keep moving parts clean and dry at all times.
Always allow the parts to cool before touching them.
Always remove the battery after use.
Make sure that the Failsafe is properly set before the flight.
