SAFETY NOTES

 Before assembling and flying this model, read carefully any instructions and warnings of other

manufacturers for all the products you installed or used on your model, especially radio

equipment and power source.

 Check thoroughly before every flight that the airplanes’ components are in good shape and

functioning properly. If you find a fault do not fly the model until you have corrected the

problem.

 Radio interference caused by unknown sources can occur at any time without notice. In such a

case, your model will be uncontrollable and completely unpredictable. Make sure to perform a

range check before every flight. If you detect a control problem or interference during a flight,

immediately land the model to prevent a potential accident.

 Youngsters should only be allowed to assemble and fly these models under the instruction and

supervision of an experienced adult.

 Do not operate this model in a confined area.

 Do not stand in line with, or in front of a spinning propeller and never touch it with any object.

IMPORTANT: PRIOR TO ANY ASSEMBLY

Please Note: after removing kit from shipping box, lay each piece flat on a

hard surface, this will allow the airframe to straighten out if lightly bent

from shipping. Do not worry since EPP is very pliable and can be bent back

if out of shape.

TOOL AND ADHESIVES NEEDED

Tools shown and listed are suggestions only.

Depending on your building technique you may not

need everything indicated – and/or – you may ﬁnd that

other tools available to yourself may be of beneﬁt to

your Build.

It is also recommended that you have a ﬂat building

surface, one that will accept stick pins and push pins.

An Acrostic Ceiling panel from your local hardware

store ﬁts this bill nicely, and will lay ﬂat on your work

table. Over size / long push pins are available at your

local craft store. These two items are by no means

required, but will aid in the building process, and can

be used for future projects

the build

CONSTRUCTION METHODS:

Building surface should be at least 2ft x 4ft and at. Weights or some small heavy objects will be handy for holding things in place

during the time glue is setting.

Welders glue is used for FOAM TO FOAM joints. Thin and Medium CA are used on the PLASTIC TO FOAM and CARBON TO FOAM

joints. When using the Welders glue for a butt joint, apply a thin lm to each surface, allow to sit for approx ve minutes and

then assemble. Note that this method will create a nearly instant bond, so locate carefully when bringing the two pieces together. If

alignment is necessary or a slip joint, do not allow the glue to tack up, simple apply and join immediately, you will have several

minutes to locate the two parts before the glue sets up. In most cases the parts being glued can be handled with care in 30 minutes,

full cure is approx 24 hours.

The above picture items will be needed to nish the model.

A power combo (Twisted Hobbys’ Combo pictured above), a

3s/650-850mAh battery and a fresh tube of Welders. Note -

the Battery and Welders are NOT part of the power combo.

Start the build by locating the two wing halves, the elevator

and the rudder. Fold back as shown and weigh them down

for about an hour. This will loosen up the hinge line and

allow the surfaces to move much more freely. The wing

hinge will be stiff... work it slowly so it doesn’t tear

Rev: 2015.08.16.v01a page 8

Locate the wood kit and mount a fresh

blade into you hobby knife.

Cut out the Fuselage Doublers, the

Wing Mount Cross Members and the

little round Magnet Holders. Also locate

the magnets from the hardware bag.

Press a magnet into the Wood Holder

(the one with the larger hole). Make

ush with one side. Glue with Med. CA

and Kicker.

The magnet assembly installs with the

smaller hole to the OUTSIDE of the

fuselage.

Repeat for the second side.

With thin CA, attach the round piece

with the smaller hole to the side you

made the magnet ush with.

Rev: 2015.08.16.v01a page 9

Coat the inside of the magnet hole in

the fuselage with a little Welders.

Install as shown, again remembering

that the smaller hole is facing out.

Press into the hole... should be ush to

both the inside and outside of the foam

fuselage piece.

Repeat for the other side.

Wipe away any extra Welders

LEVEL OF WATER PROOFING

At this point in the build you

should decide what level of water

proong you will do. If you plan to

spend a fair amount of time ying

off water, a more robust

“waterproong” (waterbug) build

would be in order. The occasional

water use... 2 or 3 times a season,

the standard (grasshopper) build

would be sufcient. If you never

intend to y off the water, omit all

the build steps that install lm or

require water proong. The only

thing you will want to do is coat the

bottom of the fuselage with some

clear duct tape or similar tape.

Rev: 2015.08.16.v01a page 10

Waterbug Build Only - Locate the

pieces shown, these are the items that

will get the laminate. Skip all the steps

labeled “Waterbug” if only occasionally

ying off the water.

Waterbug Build Only - cut a piece of

1.5mil heat laminate material that will

cover the bottom of the elevator

Waterbug Build Only - The laminate

material will shrink like monokote and

will bow the foam if not careful. Only

the bottom of the elevator needs it.

Start in the middle and work outward

Waterbug Build Only - ON A TEST

PIECE OF FOAM, IRON ON A SMALL

PIECE OF THE LAMINATE (DULL SIDE

IS THE STICKY SIDE) AND

EXPERIMENT WITH TEMPERTURES

Waterbug Build Only - Cut one piece

each for the fuselage sides

LAMINATING BUILD TIPS

There are many different thickness

and brands of laminate material

out there. You should use a

laminate that has a low heat

activated glue. As an extra step to

insure a robust bond of the

laminate to the foam, 3M 77

Contact Spray glue can be used to

“dust” the area in which you will

apply the laminate to. Note, it does

not take a lot, a quick single pass

at 10 to 12 inches is plenty, more

is not better in this case. Also, it is

advised to TEST your procedure

and iron tempatures on a scrap

piece of foam and not your model.
