Make sure that the plane is secured properly when you start up the engine.
Have at least 2 helpers hold your plane from the tail end or from behind the
wing tips before you start theengine. Make sure that all spectators are behind,
or far in front, of the aircraft when running up the engine.
Make sure that you range check your R/C system thoroughly before the rst
ight. It is absolutely necessary to range check your complete R/C installation
rst WITHOUT the engine running. Leave the transmitter antenna retracted,
and check the distance you can walk before ‘fail-safe’ occurs. Then start up
the engine, run it at about half throttle and repeat this range check with the
engine running.
Make sure that there is no range reduction before ‘fail-safe’
occurs. Only then make the 1st ight. If you feel that the range with engine
running is less then with the engine o, please contact the radio supplier and
the engine manufacturer and DON’T FLY at that time.
Check for vibrations through the whole throttle range. The engine should run
smoothly with no unusual vibration. If you think that there are any excessive
vibrations at any engine rpm’s, DON’T FLY at this time and check your engine,
spinner and propeller for proper balancing. Due to the models construction
( Been Light) it is very important to have everything running smoothly.
First part of building the slick is to assemble the internals of the
model. Most of these are a tight t as all the load is in the front
area. Ensure the slant on the front of BT is like photo when
assembeling to get right thrust.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You start the assembly by adding F2 main undercarriage and
then f3. Once in place you add the undercarriage doublers by
sliding through the small holes.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Next you add the switch mounts ( for a later model), F1 and
nally the 2 inner fuselage sides. Ensure the at on the fuaelage
sides are facing up
You now add Wing mount, F5 and F6.
----------------------------------------------------------
Add the rewall sides, rewall inner and if you are going to put
a overlander 3548 motor in, the holes in the rewall are already
marked for you.
In the kit you will nd 2 x 6mm x 150mm carbon tube,
these are to slide through F1 to F4. Once in place, you
need to llet epoxy the carbon to the UC plate.. be as
messy as you like... the more you add, the stronger it will
be!
----------------------------------------------------------
To complete the out side of the model, glue the last part of
the fuseage together, amd also add the 0.8mm birch to the
INNER of fuselage.. simply line up the fuselage sides to
the inner parts of fuselage and glue in place.
Once in place add the nal ribs to rear of model inc F9
and RM ( rudder mount)
Tack glue the rear UC plate at the moment as nal position
cannot be set till you have the rudder post in.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Slide in the 4 x 3.2mm x 3.2mm balsa strips to the
fuselage sides from the front, and add the 2 x 3.2mm x
3.2mm spruce strips to bottom of model.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Add F9T and the 5mm x 5mm balsa stringers to turtle
deck.
Congratulations, Your Fuselage is 75% Complete :)
To start the rudder n. Add the 0.8MM birch FBD to the
bottom of RP. en glue RS1 to 4 and the rudder front
------------------------------------------------------
To assemble the rudder, make sure all slots in R1 to R7
are in the same direction. Add rudder post second spar
and rudder fake front.
Trim o the small tabs which have come through
the rudder fake front and glue 5mm strip of balsa
to front of rudder. Once glued. Slide the rudder in
to the n, set angle between RF4 and rudder. Glue..
once glued simply cut and have seperate n and
rudder
--------------------------------------------------
Sheet the rudder with 1.5mm balsa. Add a front strip
of 1.5mm balsa then add the 5mm strip of balsa to
front, then round
---------------------------------------------------
Glue the rudder n in place. In RF1 and RM there is
a slot to add a scrap strip of balsa to ensure the
rudder n is square to fuselage
At the stage, you can also set the angle on the rear uc
plate and slide in and glue as well.
e next part you have a choice depending on your
building skills.. in the kit you will nd a big block of
balsa. You can either add the block and shape to rudder
n
( making sure you leave 3mm all around F9T) or you
now sheet the entire turtle deck with 2.4mm balsa and
make it t the rudde4 n.
I recommend wetting the balsa to bend, use white glue
and hold with tape...
----------------------------------------------------------
Final part of rudder is to add a small balsa block to the
bottom of the rudder and sheet with 1.5mm balsa.
Once sheeted,add the 45 degree chamfer to the le of
rudder.
Next is the elevator stabs... extremely simple.. add all
ribs to elevator spar, add rear elevator stab. Hold at
and glue...
----------------------------------------------------
Sheet the elevator with 1.5mm balsa and add a
1.5mm Le strip followed by a 5mm Le strip from the
scrap balsa you have in kit... then simply round to get
shape correct to fuselage
----------------------------------------------------------
To start the elevators you need to glue together E1,
EHS and E3 followed by E2. Once glued add the fake
elevator LE
