Package contents
Laser-made wooden components of the Milan aircraft model, 1: 1 plan, detailed construction instructions with step-by-step pictures.
Characteristics
Kit of an RC model of a motorized Milan glider with a span of 1.96 m in spreading. The light thermal model made of balsa and plywood is built on a plan in a 1: 1 scale. The model can be driven by an electric motor. Discover the world of model design and build an airplane with your own hands.
RC model Milan is a kit of thermal all-wood motorized glider class 2m. It allows flying with ailerons, thanks to which it is easy to control and in the hands of a more experienced pilot you can enjoy a lot of fun with the model. The rudder, elevator, ailerons, flaps and engine are controlled. An intuitive image manual guides you through building the model and installing the electronics.
Properties
- A classic kit for those who want to build an airplane model themselves
- Thanks to the construction plan in a 1: 1 scale and detailed pictorial instructions, even less experienced modelers can assemble
- Precise laser cut parts from plywood and balsa
- Small accessories in the package
Model construction
In the kit you will find finished wooden components, such as ribs, beams, partitions, moldings and the like. These are gradually glued according to the instructions with a suitable wood adhesive (eg dispersion or Epoxy strength assemblies). The work goes quickly by hand, because the individual components are already ready and it is enough to gradually glue them into individual units according to the plan and the picture manual.
Wing assembly
The wing consists of 3 parts, a centerplane and ears. The centerplane is attached to the fuselage with a screw, the ears are attached to the couplings / p>
Mounting servos in the wing
The aileron and flap servos are housed inside the wing under the cover. The servo lever is above the underside of the wing profile and is connected by a rod to the rudder lever.
Assembly of wing parts
When assembling the ears, the connecting rod is slid into the centerplane, the aileron servo connectors are connected and the parts are slid onto the pin. The ears are held by magnets near the centerplane.
Assembly of tail surfaces
A well thought out design allows for quick assembly of the model. The tail surfaces are bolted to the fuselage and can be removed from the fuselage if necessary, so there is no risk of damage during transport.
To build a model you need:
- Thin instant glue or non-toxic Super Fatic from Deluxe Materials
- Glue for gluing DM-AD87 laser fired parts
- White PVA glue or sandable yellow aliphatic for wood
- Epoxy glue - 5 minutes
- Coating foil
We recommend buying
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, regulator, battery and 4 mini servos and a 6+ 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.
GLUING OF WOODEN COMPONENTS
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.
STRENGTH ADHESIVE
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.
QUICK ADHESIVE
When working, it is sometimes necessary to use fast and firm bonding of components, for which second cyanoacrylate adhesives are excellent.
Gluing aids
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
Cutting tools
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
Modeling tools and pad
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.
Coating foils
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.
