BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

Tuff Birds

Super Tough Wings & Planes

From the Wing Panels, cut the Elevons as
shown. Both elevons need to be same size. It
helps if you cut one Elevon, and use that as a
template to cut the second. The width of the
Elevons is 30MM.

Unpack and lay out everything from the kit.
Identify all the parts . Note and mark the Left and
Right Wing panels. In case you find anything
missing, stop and contact us before proceeding
with the build. The Left and Right Wing Panels
can be identified by the Airfoils. The slightly
flatter side is towards the bottom.

1. Layout and Identify the parts.

2. Cut the Elevons.

Next, we need to cut out some space for the
prop. Trim the inboard part of the Elevons so that
240MM of elevons is left. Make sure that both
sides are symmetrical. Next on both panels cut
and remove the area as shown.

The wing panels need to be beveled to allow for
the Down movement of Elevons. Cut the bevel as
illustrated across the length of the panel with a
sharp knife. Try to cut the entire bevel with a
single pass of the knife.
