Great Planes Edge 540 FlatOuts 3D EP ARF - GPMA1113 - Manual (Page 10)

❏
1. Cut the upper and lower vertical fuselage halves and
the right and left horizontal fuselage halves free from their
foam sheets. If using the gearbox included with this kit, or
any other type of “stick-mount” gearbox, cut out all four
sections from the fuselage parts. If using a firewall-mounted,
brushless outrunner motor, cut out only the section from the
lower vertical fuselage.
❏
2. Glue the 5.5 x 154mm [7/32" x 6"] fuselage tube
doubler over the 3 x 715mm [1/8" x 28-1/8"] fuselage tube.
One end should be flush. From now on, this assembly will
be referred to as the fuselage tube.
❏
3. Slide a fuselage joiner (E2), two fuselage servo
mounts (F3), and another fuselage joiner onto the fuselage
tube. With the tube doubler forward, and the servo mounts
hanging down, the front servo mount should have its flat
surface on the left, and the rear servo mount should have its
flat surface on the right.
❏
4. Position the servo mounts and fuselage joiners so that they
align with the precut slots in the upper vertical fuselage half.
❏
5. Glue the fuselage tube to the upper vertical fuselage half.
❏
6. Glue the left and right horizontal fuselage halves to the
fuselage tube. Make sure they are perpendicular to the
upper vertical fuselage.
