Notes:
* All parts made from 6mm Depron or BlueCore foam unless
otherwise indicated
* If using BlueCore, peel the plastic covering off both sides
of all fuselage parts (leave the skin on all wing and
empennage parts)
* Sand all wing and empennage leading edges round and
apply a piece of 3M Satin tape around the leading edge to
add smoothness and durability
* Rudder control is optional
* Recommended control deflections (all dimensions
measured at root trailing edge):
Stabilators: +/- 1.0"
Ailerons: +/- 1.25"
Rudders: +/- 0.75"
Flaps: 0 up, 1.25" down
* Launch with 10 deg flaps, land with up to 30 deg flaps.
For improved manuevering in small fields, set 10 deg flaps.
* Use -40% exponential on elevator and ailerons
* Recommended brushed power system: GWS EPS-350C
with C gearing (5.33), 8x6 GWS SF prop, 11.1V 1200 mAh
Lipo battery
* Use a heat gun to gently bend the foam in the aft fuselage
to pre-form it to the shapes shown
