Keep in mind...any angle variation from my build will result in a differe

Also, try to minimize curving of fuselage base piece during fuse const
9. When placing magnets, space them evenly
along the edges of the Fuselage Base piece.
Use more magnets at the front and rear, and remember to
avoid placing magnets where the CF spars are. My advice is to
mount the magnets to the fuselage base piece before building the fuselag
then press the fuselage base piece against the wing/base piece to make

 General Tips
1. All fuselage pieces need to be beveled at varying degrees for proper fit.
2. I recommend using UHU Creativ glue for joining fuselage pieces for flexibility.
3. Start with 1/2 inch up and down deflection on elevons and adjust to your flying
4. If possible, use exponential on radio mixing to soften control throws.
5. Have fun! Any questions please email me at dcobra_98@yahoo.com or visit d
6. CG measurement on 100% scale is 52cm along centerline from nose tip
7. Materials needed /recommended:
2-3 sheets depron/FFF/sturdyboard
1/32 lite ply for control horns
Polyurethane glue, foam safe CA, UHU Creativ Glue
Thin balsa strips (1/32 I think)
(2) Servos I used Hitec HS-55's
(1) Brushless motor/ESC/Prop - I used HET Typhoon 15/10, EFlite 20 a
(1) Reciever - I used Hitec Electron 6. Minimum Rx would be 4 channel
(3) 61mm .210 CF rods or equivalent length
