• Medium CA glue should be used to assemble all fuselage parts.
• When first putting the glued parts together be sure to wipe any excess glue off
before it sets. A kicker may then be used to speed up the setting time; technically
this results in a weaker joint, however it will still be stronger than the base material
LW-PLA.
• Use care when aligning parts for gluing. With medium CA, you should have a few
seconds to get alignment right. Small mistakes in alignment can stack up and
eventually lead to a part not fitting perfectly. We have taken care when designing
the aircraft to make sure there is tolerance for some minor mistakes but try to be
as perfect as possible when gluing.
• When gluing the wings together, use the carbon rods to ensure alignment however
be careful not to glue them in, they should not be glued in on the final product.
•
IMPORTANT!
- Do not glue the wing tips on until you have the carbon rod and
aileron/flap installed as it’s the wing tip that secures these in place. If you glue the
wing tip on before inserting the control surfaces + carbon rod you will not be able
to insert them afterwards.
• Threaded inserts can be properly installed by using a soldering iron at low heat
setting, a good guide for doing this can be found at this link.
