ASSEMBLING THE MODEL
5. General information on DLG-models
DLG-models - such as MINI-Fireworks - are constructed strong enough to withstand the demands
of flying and landing and at the same time light enough to achieve the least possible flying weight.
Each part is dimensioned to its possible minimum and produced using lightest and fewest
material.
In order to continue this concept, please account the following when you assemble the model:
- Always use glue sparingly. Grind all gluing spots thoroughly, before you apply the glue.
- Electronic components should be placed as far as possible to the front, as you normally
need additional lead in the nose of the fuselage to achieve the necessary centre of gravity.
- If you don’t have any experience in working with resin or if you prefer an easier method, you
can combine the carbon rovings and glass fibre with super glue: Put some drops of super
glue on the rovings or the fibre, spread and press it with a (rustling) plastic bag. You will also
save one or the other gram with this method..
Push the boom into the middle part of the fuselage, until
the boom stands out 400mm. If the boom can’t be
pushed out far enough, you can sand off some material
inside the middle part of the fuselage.
Before you glue the boom, check that the servoboard can
be fixed to the boom inside the fuselage later according
to the picture. The flat side of the boom should be on the
upper side, the round one on the downside.
