Note.
Some pictures were taken when building the 1st version of
this plane. The new version has been improved and totally redrawn but
the assembly principle remains the same.
|
To glue the parts together you can use either special foam CA glue (not
the standard one or everything will melt) or standard wood glue. It
works as well as the CA, but it takes longer to cure.
The battery
case is accessible from the bottom of the plane. 8 KAN 950 cells will
fit or even 8 R6 cells. If you plan to use other battery packs, you may
have to modify it.

 The fuselage is a basic square box with rounded corners on the front.

Trimming the window is not a good idea (this was the prototype). It
makes everything more difficult and weakens the airframe.
On the other hand the rear window (the circular one) can be trimmed and
left open. It will improve cooling of the inside.
|
The tricky part comes when you want to glue the engine wall on the
plane. Using a few clips and tape to hold everything in place, it is
quite easy anyway.
