Post #1
I’ll post the entire kit assembly here. I have to say, it’s super simple, but it can be a little tricky if you don’t assemble it in the correct order haha.
Lets Get Started with some information
CG 55mm from LE
Alright, let’s go.
First step: move all control surfaces up and down a few times until you feel they are moving freely and no longer feel stiff.
After that, you can use masking tape to create a clean and uniform channel for the hinge work with E6000 glue.
Apply the tape like shown in the photo, then spread the E6000 evenly on the top side using cotton swabs. After that, repeat the same process on the bottom side to create a thin and uniform layer.
Repeat this for all control surfaces: ailerons, flaps, and elevator.
Before gluing anything together, remember to do everything that needs to be done first. The very first step is to do a dry fit of all the carbon fiber rods. Some of them may need to be sanded down to the correct size, since they were intentionally made a little longer so they can be adjusted as needed.
First, I remove the plastic housings from the JR connectors, connect them, and protect the connection with heat shrink tubing.
I do this for both aileron servos.
Alright guys, from this point on I’ll try to be as straightforward as possible. If I miss explaining something, feel free to ask in the comments/posts, and I’ll keep updating this build log.
First, I install the servos for the ailerons, Don’t forget to center your servos and install the appropriate servo arms aligned properly to avoid geometry issues later on.
As you can see, I’ve already routed the servo cable through the wing and installed the servo in place. I also fitted the other wing half to make sure everything was aligning and fitting correctly.
Going back to this image, after doing the dry fit of everything, I can now take this wing section and install the aileron joiner and also the main spar.
I really like to add a few drops of medium CA into the hole and then slide the carbon fiber rod all the way in. This part is very simple.
After the main spar is installed and glued in place, you can also add a few drops of glue, allowing it to wick down and spread throughout the entire area.
I’ll continue in post 4 for the wing. sorry

POST #4
I first pre-fit the carbon fiber rods so the outer aileron section can properly align with the inner aileron section.
Then I apply glue to both the carbon rod and the plastic parts. You don’t need to use too much glue — PETG bonds very well after a few seconds of holding pressure, so there’s no need to overdo it.
With a precise motion, slide the parts together so they align perfectly and bond, then hold them in place for about 15 seconds so the glue can set on the carbon fiber.
For me, this is the most complicated part, as it requires a bit more attention during...
