Assembly
Ok this part of building starts with attaching
the wings as per the included instructions, nothing to secret here to learn.
The steps included were, I did a check fit of the
wings to the main body (which on mine was perfect out of the box), then I mixed
some 6 minute epoxy and worked pretty fast and did one wing at a time.. Took
about 30 minutes in construction time for this. I also pre-tested the fit of the
hinges as in this photo.
Nice feature I liked was that the hinge slots on the
wing and the aileron are already pre-slotted sure makes them fit factory square.
I then glued the hinges in as in the next photo. I glued the wing side all the
way across and let it cure before I did the aileron side.
*Tip take a piece of sandpaper and roughen the
hinges up before you glue them in. I ran into a problem with them staying glued
until I sanded them lightly now they are good and tight.

Hinges installed on wing side..

Right Aileron Installed

Left Aileron installed
Wow this thing goes together really fast.
At this
point I have to say so far I am really impressed with the construction and
quality. Nice fitting parts make for fast assembly..
I
have maybe 2 hours in build time so far and have the wings attached the ailerons
attached the servo cut outs enlarged for the HS55's I had on hand for it and my
extra support for the nose completed.
