aero naut Electric Model Aeroplane Quido Order-No. 1303/00

Quido is a small model that accompanies you wherever you go. The prefabricated parts are mostly balsa and just need to be assembled according to the step-by-step building instructions. With the exception of the tail end of the fuselage, which is a carbon tube, and spruce spars Quido is a pure balsa model. The result is a light-weight yet strong model. A 2S-LiPo and an outrunner with 100 to 150 Watts are recommended to power the Quido. In addtion you ll need basic 3-channel radio equipment with two micro servos and a speed controller. Construction should be according to the step-by-step instructions provided in this manual. All parts can be identified by means of the parts list at the end of the manual. Always check that parts fit perfectly. Correct, if necessary, before you glue. Give glue sufficient time to dry before you continue with the next step. We recommend white glue (if not otherwise noted) for gluing, which offers good strength and low weight. White glue retains a certain degree of elasticity even after the glue has cured and will stand up to any loads which occur during flying.

24 22 1 The wing spar is a lamination of three spruce spars. Mark the centre on all three spars and glue spars together as shown. Secure spars with tape or clamps until glue has dried completely. Remove any residual glue and carefully sand surface of spar. 23 29 30 31 32 2 Sort ribs according to cross-section of spar and slide ribs on spar. Do not glue! Attention: Make sure to place the two centre ribs 29 in the correct position as they will be sheeted later on!

3 Place spar with ribs on Depron jig and glue ribs to spar. Glue in place upper wing spars 25 and lower trailing edge sheeting 37. 25 37 36 43 27 37 44 4 Glue leading edge 27 to the front of ribs and glue in place balsa gussets: glue front gussets to groove in leading edge and rear gussets to top of trailing edge sheeting. Glue the longer gussets 43 to centre ribs and the short gussets 44 to the outer ribs. Also glue in place upper trailing edge sheeting 37. Cut to length upper centre wing sheeting 36 and glue in place.

5 Remove centre wing panel from jig and turn upside down. Cut off tabs with modeller s knife or razor saw and glue in place lower centre wing sheeting 36. 36 26 38 33 34 35 6 Build up the outer wing panels. Insert ribs 33 to 35 into wing jigs and glue in place spars 26 and lower trailing edge sheeting 38. The sheeting material is a bit oversize and will be cut off later.

45 28 7 Trim off spars and sheeting material at end ribs and position wing tips 39 at end ribs (do not glue!). Cut leading edge parts 28 to correct angle and length and glue to front of ribs. Glue in place plywood gussets 45 and upper trailing edge sheeting 38. 38 39 8 Remove outer wing panels from jigs, cut off tabs and carefully sand underside of wing tips. Glue wing tips 39 to outer wing panels and glue in place balsa triangles 46 which support the wing tips. 46

9 Trim off upper trailing edge sheeting material, then sand leading edges and wing tips to shape. 40 10 Ribs with a triangular cross-section are used for correct dihedral of outer wing panels. Glue one rib 40 each flush with underside of wing panels to centre wing panel and to wing tips. Carefully sand outline of ribs to shape after glue has dried.

11 Glue outer wing panels to centre wing panel and secure with clamps or tape. After a careful sanding the wing is ready to cover.

12 Glue the 6 formers together as shown and make sure the apertures and outer contours match perfectly. 2 2 3 4 6 5 11 13 Cut 5 5 mm balsa stripwood 13 to a length of 210 mm and build up a box structure using the two central fuselage formers, wing supports 11 and balsa stripwood 13. Attention: Stripwood ends exactly at the contact surface of formers 3 and 4 (see graphics overleaf)! 13

14 Glue built-up structure to fuselage side 1. Make sure that contours for wing saddle match perfectly and that rear end of fuselage side is flush with contact surface of formers 5 and 6. The lower end of the fuselage side should stand proud of the stripwood by about 2 mm where the lower fuselage sheeting will be fitted later on. 1 15 Glue in place left fuselage side and secure until dry. 1

42 42 16 Cut to length lower fuselage sheeting material 42 from 2 mm balsa and glue in place. Attention: Sheeting material ends exactly at the contact surface of formers 3 and 4! 42

17 Glue 5 5 mm balsa stripwood 12 to lower front fuselage sheeting 10 (2 mm balsa) as shown. 12 10 18 Slightly bevel rear end of lower front fuselage sheeting and fit sheeting in place.

19 Glue doubled-up motor mount 2 in place together with lower fuselage sheeting 10 and secure with tape until dry. Then glue in place remaining 5 5 mm balsa stripwood. Attention: The rectangular cutout in motor mount 2 needs to face upward! 12 2 20 Trim stripwood flush with front of motor mount and sand lightly. Glue part 7 in place and secure with tape. 7

21 From the rear insert carbon tube 14 in fuselage and through motor mount. The carbon tube is used to align the 4 parts that form the rear end of the fuselage. Slightly bevel gluing surfaces of parts 8 (2 mm balsa) and glue to fuselage, resting opposite end of parts 8 on carbon tube. 8 Do not glue to carbon tube, just secure to carbon tube with tape until glue has dried. 8 14 9 22 Slightly bevel contact surfaces of rear side panels 9 (3 mm balsa) and glue in place. Note that hole for wing dowel faces up. Secure to fuselage and tube with tape.

23 When glue has dried, remove tube from fuselage and sand fuselage to a smooth finish, rounding off rear end of fuselage and lower fuselage edges. Sand contact surfaces for front fuselage cover, secure fuselage cover 21 in place with tape and round off the edges. 21 24 Round off contours of empennage parts and bevel front edges of rudder and elevator for sufficient control throw. Then cover fuselage and empennage with the covering material of your choice. Mark centre line on stabilizer 19, remove a 4 mm wide strip of covering material and glue carbon tube 14 to stabilizer with epoxy. Support opposite end of carbon tube with 4 mm scrap wood. 19 14

25 Insert snakes 15 into fuselage and secure with epoxy 15 or CA in holes of rear fuselage formers.

26 From the rear insert carbon tube in fuselage and through hole in rear fuselage former. The carbon tube should protrude from the former by 5 mm. Align stabilizer horizontally and glue carbon tube into fuselage. Secure snakes on top of carbon tube until 5 cm from front edge of stabilizer. Use either small cut-offs of snake outer 52 or secure snakes with tape. 17 52 27 Mark centre line of stabilizer and remove a 4 mm wide strip of covering material. Then glue in place fin 17, making sure it is absolutely upright.

28 Slide small GRP control horn 49 onto carbon rod 47. Cut or file a groove into the front edges of the elevator halves and connect them with the rod. For correct spacing place elevator halves next to horizontal stabilizer. With epoxy glue control horn to one elevator half at an angle of 90. Attention: The control horn faces up! Also note that front edges of elevator halves must be beveled for sufficient control throw. 20 47 49

48 29 At correct angle press large GRP control horn 48 approximately 1 cm above lower edge of rudder 18 into rudder and glue with CA or epoxy. For correct angle place rudder next to fin and mark position of snake on rudder. 18 41 30 Install servos in servo tray 41 and glue servo tray into fuselage. Make sure control horns are on same level as snakes. Note: Make sure there is enough room for the receiver in front of the servo tray.

Completing the Model 1. Make a Z-bend at one end of control wires 16. From the fuselage side insert wires into snakes and connect wires to servo contol horns. 2. Attach control surfaces to fin and elevator with tape. Use solder extenders 50 and clevises 51 to connect control wires to rudder and elevator. 3. Drill motor mount for outrunner backplate mount and temporarily insert wood screws. Remove wood screws and reinforce holes with thin CA. Then install outrunner with backplate mount. 4. Glue wing dowels 53 in place. 5. Connect motor and RC components and check motor s direction of rotation. When direction of rotation is correct, install prop. Install battery in fuselage and secure with hook and loop tape. Balance the model. The centre of gravity is 65 mm behind the leading edge. Try to achieve correct balance by relocating battery. 65 mm

First Flight Charge the model s battery and again check centre of gravity. Make sure radio equipment operates correctly and that control surfaces move in correct direction. Select a calm day with little wind for your first flight. Hand-start the model into the wind with 50 % power and a slight nose-up attitude. Allow Quido to climb to a save hight, then trim model for straight and level flight. Make only small corrections at a time. Get used to your new model and try out various manouvers. Make sure you always land Quido into the wind. Let the model approach with moderate speed and switch off the motor just before the model touches down.
