Laser-made wooden parts of the Charter XS aircraft model, 1: 1 plan, detailed construction instructions with step-by-step pictures, wing coupling, landing gear wire, wheels.
A wooden school model kit for Charter XS aircraft modellers with a span of 0.81 m in sprawl. Lightweight model for electric drive for beginning modelers. It is built according to the 1: 1 plan, the wing coupling and the chassis are in the package. Build your plane with your own hands and get to know the world of model construction.
Charter XS is a classic kit of a training all-wood upperplane, which is designed for piloting training. It enables the training of piloting with ailerons, thanks to its high-area concept it is a guarantee of good unmistakable flight characteristics. The rudder, elevator, ailerons and engine are controlled. An intuitive image manual guides you through building the model and installing the electronics.
The basic building block in the construction of an aircraft model is always a 1: 1 scale construction plan, on which the individual components of the model are assembled.
In the kit you will find finished wooden components, such as ribs, beams, partitions, moldings and the like. According to the instructions, they are gradually glued with a suitable wood glue (eg dispersion or strength Epoxy kits), the work goes quickly by hand and in the evening you can have the sash glued together, for example. / p>
The fuselage connects the wing and tail surfaces into one functional unit and is therefore the most complex part of the aircraft model. It contains control electronics, drive unit and battery. However, the construction is not too complicated and it will undoubtedly be managed by anyone who will follow the progress of the work according to the picture manual.
A chassis is installed in the fuselage on which the model takes off, travels around the airport and lands after the flight. The individual components of the chassis are included in the kit.
It is a classic all-wood kit. To assemble the model, you need suitable adhesives, basic modeling tools and coating foil. We recommend using an iron-on foil to coat the model. There is no electronics in the package, so you need to buy an AC motor, propeller, controller, battery and 4 micro servos and a 4+ channel RC kit.
The construction of wooden aircraft models is a traditional and the oldest technology used in their production. Wood is an affordable and inexpensive material, it is flexible, light and extremely durable. The structure can be repaired in case of damage. Beam slats are used as the material, most often spruce, pine, the basic building material is balsa and various types of plywood. Beech, ash or blocks of arms, linden, etc. can be used for strength parts.
The plan is placed on a flat wooden worktop made of soft wood (lath), on the plan it is necessary to place a transparent foil that will protect the plan from adhesives. For gluing, we use model pins KR-490050 which fix the components in the exact position. Conventional gluing of wooden parts is glued with dispersion glue FS-G09 / 250 or DM-AD10, which have the advantage of slow drying, so there is enough time to assemble the structure. The glued structure can be removed the next day after gluing.
During construction, there are several structural units that need to be glued with adhesives that resist higher stress, are resistant to chemicals, water, etc. The best known are 2-component Epoxy adhesives, supplied in a smaller package DM-AD67, in a larger package DM-AD68 and for extra high strength DM-AD19.
When working, it is sometimes necessary to use fast and firm bonding of components, for which second cyanoacrylate adhesives are excellent.
Our hands are not enough everywhere and when assembling a large number of parts separately, therefore various types of clamps are a welcome helper. Model mini stiffeners SH-PCL3050, parallel clamps SH-PCL4201 / A, classic clamps SH-PCL3000 or flexible clamps SH-PCL8710 / 2
When working with different materials, you need knives, saws, scissors and a lot of other tools. We can recommend break-off knives SH-PKN1003, set of knives SH-PKN3305 / S, model saws fine SH-PSA35 / 300 or larger SH-SA35 / 380, special straight scissors NA3528 or curved scissors NA3527
For precise cutting, gluing of parts and also as protection of the table, we recommend the modeling pad SH-PKN6003 and the safety ruler SH-RU1774.
The fastest and most effective surface treatment of wooden models is the coating with iron-on foil. IronOnFilm Not only is it possible to choose from a whole range of color shades, but it also solves the carcass resistance to weathering, color and shape stability, easy repairability and speed when completing the model. To work, you need a model iron, a sharp model knife and scissors.
