[. . . ] Page 1 Mini Katana S PRO Made In Washington Sate, USA!Kit# 3DF0xx A Hi Performance Indoor Electric 3D'r About This Construction Manual This booklet divides the construction into sub-assemblies; wing, fuselage, etc. Please read each section carefully before starting on that particular sub-assembly. There is a complete description of all parts under "Kit Contents" Please check to make sure your kit is complete. [. . . ] Carefully cut only the top wing skin away to allow the side rails to fit flush with the top of the wing core. © 2004 3D Foamy (Levi Jordan) All Rights Reserved. Page 11 18. Repeat the same process for the other side rail. Make sure to apply glue to the under side of the side rails over the wing. 19. Use 3M Multitask scotch tape (Red Plaid package) to hinge the ailerons, elevator, and rudder. © 2004 3D Foamy (Levi Jordan) All Rights Reserved. Page 12 21. Glue the round motor mount in place on the front of the plane. Add some scraps of foam behind the firewall for additional reinforcement. 22. At this point you are finished with the main part of construction. Painting 23. Testors Spray Enamel, sign vinyl, and 3DF Decals are just some of the choices you can make for the final paint scheme. Just test on the foam scraps before using it on the whole plane!I Recommend using Testers Model master Spray Enamel. Use light coats to keep weight to a minimum. A fully painted plane is only ½ oz. Use the foams natural color in your paint scheme where ever possible. Mask off the areas you don't want painted then shoot it with a fine mist. Let it sit for 5 minutes then mist a second coat. Repeat the process for each paint color. Note: If you will be landing the plane on its belly, then wrap a 2" strip of clear packing tape down the bottom of the planes fuselage. This will help keep it in one piece on your "not so great" landings! © 2004 3D Foamy (Levi Jordan) All Rights Reserved. Page 13 Final Assembly 1. You will need to temporarily mount your motor, servos, battery and receiver on the plane to establish the proper mounting locations for CG. Move the battery and radio equipment around until the plane balances at the step on the LE sheeting and the main wing. When Happy with the servo locations, use some hotmelt glue to secure them in place. I like to wrap some scotch tape around the parts that get glued for easy removal later. Motor and Radio Installation I know this plane has gone together fast and you are almost ready to fly, but now is the time to slow down and make quality count. [. . . ] Just like sticking your hand out the window of a car and rotating your palm back and forth. The same is applied to the fuselage side. . . . it too can keep you "suspended" in air when combined with enough thrust and rudder deflection. To be good at 3D a plane must be able to make a clean transition to HA flight from conventional flight. . . . [. . . ]
