STEP 1
Glue the "lipo_mount" part to "fs1", then glue the
"fs1-nose-fs2-fs3-fs4" parts together using CA glue. You can
insert the barbecue skewers (Ø3x12 mm) into the guiding
holes for each parts to facilitate assembly.
Never spray the accelerator directly onto the CA glue! Spray on

first piece and wait for 15 seconds to dry. Then you can aply
glue on the other piece and put the pieces together.
Note: Avoid excessive use of glue.

STEP 2
If you want to use push rod connectors, install them before
installing "tail_r and tail_l" parts to the fuselage. Breake
elevator flaps from it’s tiny connections and glue TPU or CA
hinge to the slots by inserting. Then you can install tail parts to
the fuselage and stick with CA glue.
Assemble "O-ring_11x2" and "wheel15" parts and install to the

fuselage by using 2 mm screw. You can use Servo Mounting
screws here.

STEP 3
Install your servos (Better use Metal
Gear on this model). Assembly the
pushrods by through the inside of “fs3”
and install the rod connectors to the tail.
Push through a thicker rod which is

bigger than your pushrods into the
pushrod holes to clear it’s inside. This
will facilitate pushrod movement and
affect your servos performances.
Pushrods diameter: 1,2-1,6 mm

STEP 4
In this step you will need to spray directly onto the glue. Avoid
over spray usage because of it weakens adhesion.

parts together.
Be sure the wing parts are sticking in a straight line.
Do the same for the left wing.

We have prepared printer profile on Cura Slicer for you. If you
have a Marlin XYZ type printer, you can print directly with
prepared gcodes as well. If you can’t use the gcodes don't
worry, just follow the instructions...
Download and install CURA Slicer on ultimaker.com.

When you open the program, you can find your own printer
from the printer list but if you are getting error on importing
curaprofile, you will need to create Custom Printer to import a
curaprofile succesfully.
Open the Add Printer window, select Custom FFF printer, type
your printer name and click to the add button for the next step

The settings you should set according to your printer:
- Material Settings.
Printing Temperature
Buildplate Temperature
Flow (wall flow is important!)
- Travel Settings.
Retraction distance
Retraction speed
These settings might need adjustments according to your

printer or filament. You should print a wing part to test your
print quality. If your test print resulted in a succesful way then
you are ready to start the printing process for the rest of the
parts.
Note: 0,2 mm layer height is the best setting for the

Print Quality/Printing Time.

Print Guide
All parts are now pre-routed for Cura but if you want to print
several pieces together, orient the pieces at 45 degrees to the
bed. This way X and Y axis works coordinated and you can get
maximum surface quality. Default Z Seam is Front-Left.
