BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before building the model, please follow the assembly and

break-in instructions that can be found in the manual that

accompanies the ducted fan unit. If you plan to substitute

a brushless motor into the ducted fan unit, do so before

gluing the unit into the aircraft. The EDF manual includes

information about brushless motor usage.

Install the Wing Tips & Ducted Fan Unit

❏

1. Glue the wing tips to the wing using foam-safe CA glue

or epoxy. Be careful when gluing the tips as any excess will be

difficult to clean up from the foam wing. Do not use alcohol to

clean away epoxy. Alcohol will remove the paint from the foam.

Use tape to hold the tips in place while the glue cures. Make

sure to test the tape to insure it will not remove the finish. When

the glue has cured, apply a fillet of glue along the top of the

wing at the wing tips and let it cure undisturbed.

2. After your model is assembled, the only way to remove the

ducted fan unit for repair or replacement is to cut it out from the

bottom. Because of this, we suggest marking the location of the

ducted fan unit on the underside of the fuse. You can do this by

pushing T-pins through the inside of the fuse along the edges of

the fan housing. The holes left on the underside of the fuse from

the T-pins can be connected with a drawn line for future

reference. If at any time you need to remove the fan unit, use a

hobby knife to cut along the holes left by the T-pins to extract the

unit out of the bottom of the fuse.

❏

3. Mix up approximately 3/8 oz [11g] of epoxy to glue the

ducted fan unit into the fuse duct channel. Coat the recessed

area in the fuse where the fan unit will be installed with a thin

coat of epoxy. Press the fan unit into place and wipe away any

excess epoxy with a dry paper towel.

❏

4. Make a mark 5-1/4" [133mm] from the front in the center

of the duct channel top.
