Items You May Need:

1. Thin CA (super glue) or White Glue

2. Plan/Table Protector (use the bag that this kit came in to protect your work surface from CA glue spills)

3. Razor Blade(s)

4. Med-Fine Grit Sand Paper and sanding block

5. Clear Tape ¾” Wide

6. 1/32” Drill Bit

7. Balsa Wood Filler

INSTRUCTIONS:

The stik is an adaptation of Binkley’s ET (Electric Trainer) wing. Thomas Binkley devoted a

considerable amount of time to developing this wing and produced a set of hand drawn plans

from which a number of ET's were brought to life. At Tom’s request we jumped on the

opportunity to work the ET over into a great little laser cut balsa kit.

This product is targeted for a first time build and as such; features traditional Stevens AeroModel

laser engineered interlocking design techniques... the laser cut parts are keyed and labeled in

such a fashion as to reduce the possibility of building the wing incorrectly. The wing features

diagonal interlocking sub ribs to reduce the possibility of warping the assembly during the

covering process. Wood selection is top notch with appropriate grain, thickness, and density hand

selected to produce an efficient design that is minimizes weight while being exceptionally durable.

I sincerely hope you enjoy building and flying your stik electric aileron trainer.

Before You Begin

Before you begin aimlessly shaking the balsa bits from their sheets suggest you perform the

following steps:

1. Read these instructions thoroughly and Take a complete inventory of your kit and

compare your cut balsa sheets to the reference at the beginning of this manual.

Immediately contact [email protected] to report any damaged or missing

components.

2. While the parts are still retained within the balsa sheet use a fine grit sand paper and

lightly sand both sides of the sheet wood, this will remove any residue and discoloration

from the cutting process and will knock the grain down on the wood for better results

when covering. Tip! Do not get carried away here or you could significantly impact the

parts fit. I suggest light sanding with 250-400 grit paper.

3. As much as I love building laser cut kits, I don’t like to see dark laser “burn” marks

showing through my covering. I find it useful to keep some 400 grit paper handy to

remove the oxidation from the laser cutting process by lightly sanding any surfaces that

will be exposed prior to gluing them into position. Keep in mind that you should NOT

sand any interlocking surfaces or this will impact the fit and keying of the kit.

4. Thin CA glue (about ½ oz.) is suggested for the bulk of the assembly. ALWAYS use a

super fine glue applicator tip when working with thin CA to meter the amount of glue

required for each joint. If you have a CA allergy you may substitute wood glue (thinned

with water). Using wood glue will necessitate pinning parts to the building board until the

glue has cured.

5. Use the poly tubing that this kit was packaged in to protect your building surface from

glue spills. Tip: Wrapping your finger tips with masking tape will prevent the unfortunate

situation whereby you glue your fingers to the model.

6. All parts are laser scribed with a part number, take a mental note of where these parts

are located and DO NOT remove parts from the balsa sheet until it is required in your

assembly step.

7. If you purchased the full stik kit you will have received two original GWS Slow Stick

assemblies marked AS1 and AS3. You will not utilize all provided parts from these

assemblies. Retain the parts pictured in the photos below:

Empennage Assembly

1. Begin assembly by locating the 3/32” balsa empennage parts. Assembly the horizontal

stabilizer from parts HS1 (main assembly) and HS2 (cross grain end pieces). Vertical

stab “V”, rudder “R”, and elevator “E” require no assembly. A photo of the complete

empennage assemblies is given below for reference.

2. Sand the leading edge of the vertical and horizontal stabilizer round while leaving the

training edge square. The flying surfaces of the stik are simply tape hinged; this requires

that you sand a 45 degree bevel along the leading edge of both the elevator and rudder

while leaving the trailing edge square (see illustration below).

3. Final sand the empennage assembly in preparation for covering with AeroLITE.

Wing Assembly

Assembly method: Refer to plan sheet for the wing assembly parts location diagram. Full Size

plan sheets are not required and have not been included with this kit. The wing is of “I-Beam”

type construction which consists of a 1/16” balsa web which is slotted to accept the wing ribs.

This web is caped by balsa strips that interlock with the ribs to form the “I-Beam”. The wing is

assembled in one complete panel with center section plywood reinforcement.

When assembling the wing pay careful attention to the orientation of the spar, trailing edge, cap

strips, and turbulator as these parts have a directional component. I have keyed the wood to only

fit in one direction. In addition, many components are marked with arrows “->” which should

always point towards the wing center section (i.e. turbulators, spar web, spar cap strips, and

trailing edge).

The photos illustrate building out the right wing panel half; for each step complete both the right

and left sides of the wing.

As new components are called out we will note them in the instructions by placing “()” around the

part number.

Things to remember: As you assemble the wing panel apply only enough glue to tack the

assembly together. Each part that you add to the assembly will add to the rigidity and square of

the assembly. Once the bulk of the wing panel has been completed you can re-visit each joint

and wick a more liberal amount of glue along the bonding surface.

1. Begin wing assembly by locating the 1/16” spar webs (S1) and (S2), key together as

illustrated in the first photo below, and glue. Next, locate the 1/32” plywood spar doubler

(S5), align to center of spar web matching notches and edges. Glue as illustrated in the

final photo of this step.

2. The plywood spar doubler installed in step 1 must face towards the wing trailing edge.

Locate the 3/32” ribs (R2) and key to spar web assembly. Note: be certain to fully seat

R2 within assembly. Locate the 1/32” plywood servo pocket (SR1) and key to the spar

web assembly. Note that SR1 tabs into the notched portion of the S5 plywood doubler

and keys to the hole in rib R2. Once these components have been properly seated and

aligned retain them with a small drop of CA glue.

3. Locate the 3/32” balsa ribs (R1), glue together on top of one another matching slots and

edges perfectly to create one double thickness R1 center rib. Key the double thick R1 to

spar web center notch as illustrated in the second photo below. Do not glue.

4. Now locate the remaining ribs (R3), (R4), (R5), and (R6). Refer to the reduced size plan

set for proper location and key to the spar web. Pay attention to carefully and completely

seat each rib within the notches of the spar web. Do not glue.

5. Locate the top spar web cap (S4) and bottom spar web cap (S3) key these in their

respective positions starting with the locating tabs in the spar web between ribs R5 and

R6. Seat the S3 and S4 caps so that they interlock with ribs R1 through R6 and seat

flush against the top and bottom edges of the spar web. While holding the spar flat

against your building board tack glue the spar webbing to retain to assembly (complete ½

of the wing panel at a time).
