EasyGlider PRO KIT

# 21 4226

Examine your kit carefully!

MULTIPLEX model kits are subject to constant quality checks throughout the production process, and we sincerely hope that you

are completely satisfied with the contents of your kit. However, we would ask you to check all the parts (referring to the Parts List)

before you start construction, as we cannot exchange components which you have already worked on . If you find any part is

not acceptable for any reason, we will gladly correct the defect or replace the item in question once we have inspected it. Please

send the part to our Model Department, being sure to include the purchase receipt and a brief description of the fault.

We are constantly working on improving our models, and for this reason we must reserve the right to change the kit contents in

terms of shape or dimensions of parts, technology, materials and fittings, without prior notification. Please understand that we

cannot entertain claims against us if the kit contents do not agree in every respect with the instructions and the illustrations.

Caution!

Radio-controlled models, and especially model aircraft, are by no means playthings. Building and operating them safely

requires a certain level of technical competence and manual skill, together with discipline and a responsible attitude at the

flying field. Errors and carelessness in building and flying the model can result in serious personal injury and damage to

property. Since we, as manufacturers, have no control over the construction, maintenance and operation of our products,

we are obliged to take this opportunity to point out these hazards and to emphasise your personal responsibility.

Additional items required for the EasyGlider PRO:

Adhesive and activator:

Use medium-viscosity cyano-acrylate glue (“cyano” - not styrofoam cyano) for this model. Epoxy adhesives produce what initially

appears to be a sound joint, but the bond is only superficial, and the hard resin breaks away from the parts under load.

Hot-melt glue (from a glue gun) is a useful alternative adhesive.

Important note

This model is not made of styrofoam™, and it is not possible

to glue the material using white glue or epoxy. Please be

sure to use cyano-acrylate glue exclusively, preferably in

conjunction with cyano activator (”kicker”). We recommend

medium-viscosity (thick) cyano. This is the procedure with

Elapor®: spray cyano activator on one face of the joint; allow

it to air-dry for around two minutes until the surface

appears to be “dry”, then apply cyano adhesive to the other

face. Join the parts, and immediately position them

accurately.

Please take care when handling cyano-acrylate adhesives.

These materials harden in seconds, so don’t get them on

your fingers or other parts of the body. We strongly

recommend the use of goggles to protect your eyes.

corner of the table) and run cyano along the whole length of

the outer sleeve 44 and the channel in the fuselage to glue the

parts together strongly.

4. Installing the aerial sleeve

Trial-fit the aerial sleeve 47 , cut it to length and glue it in the

right-hand fuselage shell - taking care not to bend or distort

the moulding.

Fig. 9

5. Installing the tow-hook

Glider version: glue the towhook 32 in the moulded recess in

the fuselage shell 4 .

Fig. 9

Keep the adhesive out of the reach of children!

6. Installing the motor mount

Glue the motor mount 34 in the right-hand fuselage shell, and

wipe away any adhesive which is squeezed out. The exposed

face of the motor mount will later be glued when the shells are

joined; take care to keep adhesive off this area. Note that the

motor mount should also be installed in the glider version, as

it adds considerable strength.

1. Before starting construction

Please check the contents of your kit before you start

construction. You will find Figs. 1 + 2 and the Parts List helpful

here.

Completing the fuselage and tail panels

2. Preparing the “snakes”

Check the length of the elevator snake sleeves 43 a nd 45 , and

shorten them if necessary.

7. Installing the servos in the fuselage shells

Set the servos to “neutral” (centre) from the transmitter, and fit

them in the moulded recesses in the left and right fuselage

shells, as shown in Fig. 11 . If you are using different servos,

you may have to trim the recesses slightly to obtain a close fit.

Lay the servo leads in the channel, running from bottom to top,

and tape them in place. Apply a drop of cyano to the servo lugs to

attach them to the foam material. Connect the pre-formed ends

of the wire pushrods to the servo output arms, and push the

arms onto the servos at an angle of 90° to the servo sides (don’t

forget to fit the servo output screws). Glue the plastic latch catches

22 in both fuselage sides as shown. Glue the extension leads in

the cable holders 36 , positioning the ends flush as shown in the

detail drawing. Glue the cable holders 36 in the moulded

recesses in both fuselage sides, pushing them in as far as they

will go. Deploy the leads carefully and glue the fore-and-aft

formers 37 in place.

3. Installing the snakes in the fuselage shells

Important: the fuselage tail boom is considerably

strengthened and stiffened by the addition of the snake outer

sleeves 43 a nd 44 , which must be glued full-length to the

shells in order to obtain the full effect. The same applies to the

aerial sleeve 47 .

Check that the snakes operate smoothly and freely, and take

care not to allow glue to run into the outer sleeves.

8. Joining the fuselage shells

The most suitable adhesive for this stage is thick cyano-acrylate,

used in conjunction with activator.

Caution: for the tuning version the balance weights 2 x 33 should

first be glued in the recesses at the tail, as shown in Fig. 12 .

Left-hand fuselage shell:

Install the complete elevator snake (wire rod length = 875

mm) in the left-hand fuselage shell; the pre-formed end

should be at the front (servo end).

Fig. 3

The first step is to check “dry” (no glue) that the fuselage shells

3 + 4 fit together accurately; it may be necessary to carry out

minor trimming.

Position the snake outer sleeve 43 flush at the front of the

fuselage shell, as shown in Fig. 4 . Lay the shell down flat and

run cyano along the whole length of the outer sleeve 43 and

the channel in the fuselage to glue the parts together strongly.

Fig. 5

Spray cyano activator on the joint surfaces of the fuselage shell

4 and leave it to air-dry for about two minutes.

Apply cyano adhesive to the joint surfaces of the fuselage shell

3 , then join the parts carefully, taking care to align them accurately

and immediately. Note that the fuselage joint line must be

perfectly straight - no bends allowed!

Fig. 12

Right-hand fuselage shell:

Install the complete rudder snake (wire rod length = 875mm)

in the right-hand fuselage shell. The pre-formed end should

be at the front (servo end).

Fig. 6

9. Installing the rudder hinge

Glue the rudder hinge 31 in the tail end of the fuselage using a

small amount of cyano. Take great care that no glue gets onto

the hinge pivot axis.

Fig. 13

Use a sharp balsa knife to cut a central slot for the rudder hinge

31 in the leading edge of the rudder. Take care: injury hazard!

Position the snake outer sleeve 44 flush at the front of the

fuselage shell, as shown in Fig. 7 . Lay the shell down flat

(note the locating spigot; place the fuselage shell over the

Extend the slot in the rudder 5 downward by about 3 to 4 mm, as

this makes it easier to install the rudder and tailplane at a later

stage.

Fig. 14

Completing the wings

16. Freeing the ailerons

Cut a 1 mm slot at each end of the ailerons, which are attached

to the wing panels 8 and 9 . Move the ailerons to and fro repeatedly

in order to make the hinges free-moving - do not separate the

control surfaces!

Fig. 21

10. Attaching the horn to the rudder

Use a pair of side-cutters to cut down the projecting spigot of the

rudder horn 24 to a length of about 2 mm. Insert the swivel

pushrod connector 25 in the second hole from the inside of the

rudder horn 24 , and secure it with the washer 26 and nut 27 .

Caution: note the orientation of the swivel connector! Tighten the

nut very carefully so that the barrel swivels smoothly: it should

not wobble, but must not jam. Apply a tiny drop of cyano to the nut

(on the tip of a pin) when you are satisfied. Fit the grubscrew 28

in the threaded hole in the swivel pushrod connector 25 using

the allen key 29 provided. Apply cyano activator to the moulded

recess in the rudder, then glue the rudder horn 24 in the recess,

with the row of holes facing the hinge pivot axis.

Fig. 15

17. Attaching the horns to the ailerons

Insert the swivel pushrod connectors 25 in the outermost holes

in the aileron horns 24 , and secure them with the washers 26

and the nuts 27 .

Caution: be sure to produce a handed pair (different left and

right)! Tighten the nuts very carefully so that the barrels swivel

smoothly: they should not wobble, but must not jam. Apply a tiny

drop of cyano to the nuts (on the tip of a pin) when you are

satisfied. Fit the grubscrews 28 in the threaded holes in the

swivel pushrod connectors 25 using the allen key 29 provided.

Apply cyano activator to the moulded recesses in the ailerons,

then glue the horns 24 in the recesses, with the row of holes

facing the hinge pivot axis.

Fig. 22

11. Freeing the elevator and rudder

Cut a 1 mm slot at each end of the elevator, which is attached to

the tailplane 12 . Move the rudder and elevator to and fro repeatedly

in order to make the hinges free-moving - do not separate the

control surfaces!

Fig. 16

18. Installing the aileron servos

Set the servos to “neutral” (centre) from the transmitter, and fit

the output arms on the servos at 90° to the case sides - 1 x left

and 1 x right (mirror-image pair).

Trial-fit the servos in the moulded recesses in the wing panels 8

and 9 : you may need to carry out minor adjustments to suit the

type of servo you are using. Apply a drop of hot-melt glue to each

slot in the wings for the servo mounting lugs, and immediately

press the servos into the recesses; apply an extra drop of glue if

necessary.

Fig. 23

12. Attaching the horn to the elevator

Insert the swivel pushrod connector 25 in the outermost hole in

the elevator horn 24 , and secure it with the washer 26 and the

nut 27 . Caution: note the orientation of the swivel connector!

Tighten the nut very carefully so that the barrel swivels smoothly:

it should not wobble, but must not jam. Apply a tiny drop of cyano

to the nut (on the tip of a pin) when you are satisfied. Fit the

grubscrew 28 in the threaded hole in the swivel pushrod

connector 25 using the allen key 29 provided.

Apply cyano activator to the moulded recess in the elevator, then

glue the horn 24 in the recess, with the row of holes facing the

hinge pivot axis.

Fig. 17

19. Installing the aileron pushrods

Connect the pre-formed end of the steel pushrods 30 to the

outermost hole in the servo output arms, and slip the plain end

through the swivel pushrod connectors 25 . Set the ailerons and

servos to neutral, and tighten the grubscrews 28 to secure the

pushrods.

Fig. 23

13. Gluing the fin to the tailplane

Glue the fin 13 to the tailplane 12 , setting it exactly at 90°.

Check this with a tool such as a setsquare.

Fig. 18

20. Deploying the aileron servo leads

Lay each servo lead in a curve running towards the wing joiner

channel, and extend it with a 400 mm extension lead: the leads

can either be soldered together or connected using the standard

plug and socket. You will find a notch in each of the spar covers

10 and 11 designed to accommodate the connectors. Now deploy

the extension leads in a straight line along the front face of the

spar channel, standing on edge.

The servo leads must project from the underside of the wing

roots by 60 mm on the left and 75 mm on the right, as this makes

it possible to connect them to the extension leads glued in the

cable holders 36 . The remainder of the extension leads can be

stowed in the channel and secured.

Figs. 23 + 24

14. Gluing the tail assembly to the fuselage

Position the tail assembly on the fuselage “dry” (no glue), and

check that the parts fit correctly: first insert the hinge 31 in the

rudder 13 , then slide the assembly forward onto the fuselage.

Check in particular that the tailplane 12 is a snug fit on the

fuselage, without any gaps, and lies parallel to the wing saddle

at the front of the fuselage. You can check this by laying the GRP

wing joiner 40 on the wing saddle, fixing it in place exactly at

right-angles to the fuselage centreline using paper masking

tape. Now sight along the fuselage from the nose, and align the

tailplane with the wing joiner. When you are confident that the

parts can be positioned correctly, the tail assembly can be glued

to the fuselage permanently. Check once more for correct

alignment and a close fit before leaving the glue to harden. A little

extra care at this stage is well worthwhile, as it avoids long-term

disappointment in a model which refuses to fly straight.

21. Installing the spar covers

Carefully trial-fit the spar covers 10 and 11 in the wing panels 8

and 9 . When you are confident that the covers are a close fit, and

can be installed flush with the wing surface, they can be glued in

place permanently using cyano. Ensure in particular that no

adhesive gets onto those surfaces of the wings into which the

GRP wing joiner 40 will be inserted later. Please don’t fit the

wing joiner 40 in the wings until you are certain that there is no

active adhesive inside the channels. The best way to ensure

this is to spray activator inside and wait for about five minutes. If

you neglect this warning, you may find that you can never sepa-

rate the wing panels again .

15. Securing the rudder and elevator pushrods

Slip the wire pushrods 41 a nd 42 through the swivel pushrod

connectors 25 , set the servos and control surfaces to neutral

(centre), and tighten the socket-head grubscrews 28 in the

connectors to secure the pushrods.

Figs. 19 + 20

Deploy the servo leads in the channel in the spar covers, and

secure them with a little glue (hot-melt adhesive or contact

cement). Don’t use cyano for this, as it tends to make the cable

insulation brittle.

Fig. 23

Install the motor and tighten all screws thoroughly. Deploy the

power cables in such a way that they cannot possibly foul any of

the motor’s moving parts. Tape the wires to the fuselage.

Fig. 28

The speed controller can be attached to the fuselage side

adjacent to the receiver, using Velcro tape.

22. Checking the wing joiner system

The model can now be assembled using the GRP wing joiner

40 : slide the wing panels onto the joiner until they are 5 cm short

of the fuselage on each side, then connect the plugs on the

aileron extension leads to the sockets installed in the fuselage.

Slide the wings closer to the fuselage, and you will find that the

connected leads help to locate them properly. Finally push the

wings into the fuselage on both sides.

Check that the wing panels 8 and 9 are a snug fit (no gaps)

where they meet the fuselage. If they are excessively tight, carefully

compress the edges of the wing root where they enter the

fuselage recess. Note: the wing panels should not be glued to

the fuselage. This enables you to remove the wings to make the

model easier to transport.

Fig. 25

The intended location of the flight battery is the space aft of the

receiver. The battery should be positioned in such a way that

little or no ballast is required to balance the completed model.

Secure the battery with Velcro tape in the usual way.

Now complete all the receiving system connections as described

in the instructions supplied with your radio control system. Check

that all the cables are secured well, but are not under strain or

tension.

Fit the propeller driver on the motor output shaft. Allow about 1

mm clearance between the rear face of the driver and the

fuselage.

Attach the propeller blades to the propeller driver, and tighten the

pivot screws fully, but not excessively. The blades must be able

to swing down under their own weight when you hold the model’s

nose up.

23. Installing the canopy latch lugs

First glue the canopy former 35 in the underside of the canopy 7 ,

then push the two latch tongues 23 through the former, and set

them flush. Apply thick cyano to the serrated edges - no activator

in this case! - then insert the latch tongues in the slots in the

canopy. Immediately fit the canopy on the fuselage and allow the

latch tongues to engage in the latch catches 22 . Check the

position of the canopy on the fuselage without delay, then wait

about one minute before cautiously re-opening the canopy. Spray

activator on the glued joints between the latch tongues and the

canopy former 35 .

Fig. 26

Switch the transmitter on, connect the flight battery to the speed

controller, and the controller to the receiver. The controller you

are using must feature a BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) system,

i.e. the receiver draws power from the flight battery.

Switch the motor on briefly, and check the direction of rotation of

the propeller. When test-running the power system remove all

light, loose objects behind the model, and hold it really firmly.

Caution: even small motors and propellers represent a serious

injury hazard!

General note on the receiving system installation

The remaining airborne equipment can now be installed in the

cabin area. Before you fit the receiver battery permanently it is

important to check the model’s Centre of Gravity (CG); you can

often correct the balance point at this stage by shifting the

batteries.

Velcro tape (hook tape 20 + loop tape 21 ) is supplied for securing

the receiving system components, but please note that the

adhesive layer on the tape is not sufficient for this application, so

apply cyano to reinforce the joints.

In both versions of the aeroplane the receiver should be installed

aft of the servos, again using Velcro tape. Thread the aerial wire

(attached to the receiver) into the plastic sleeve 47 , which has

already been installed. The easy way to do this is to file a length

of steel rod to a point, then slip it through the sleeve 47 from the

tail end. Push the point into the end of the aerial insulation and

apply a drop of cyano to the joint. You can then pull the aerial

through the sleeve from the tail end.

The model is designed for the installation of an MPX aero-tow

release, # 72 3470; the mechanism is simply glued in the glider

nose 5 . A short length of snake outer sleeve runs from the release

unit towards the tow release servo, passing through the centre

of the battery pack as shown. The linkage takes the form of a

length of 1.2 mm Ø steel rod.

Fig. 27

Setting the control surface travels

The control surface travels must be correct, otherwise the model

will not respond harmoniously to the controls. All travels are

measured at the widest point of the control surface concerned.

Fig. 29

The “Spoiler” function is designed to shorten the landing

approach by deflecting both ailerons up simultaneously. At the

same time the appropriate down-elevator trim is mixed in, so

that the model maintains a stable attitude. This function can only

be implemented if your radio control system features suitable

mixer facilities.

Please refer to the instructions supplied with your RC system for

details of this.

Motor + receiving system installation in the electric-powered

version

Our recommended components have been thoroughly tested,

and are well matched to each other.

If you wish to use different units, especially if they take the form of

a more powerful motor, then it is your responsibility to ensure

that the airframe is “up to the job”.

Note: when you apply a right-aileron command, the right-hand

aileron - as seen from the tail, looking forward - must deflect up.

If you cannot set the stated control surface travels using your
