Slider QE Performance 2.0m Kit

Simple hull design

Assembling the fuselage is not very laborious and can be done even by a novice modeler, it starts with assembling the sides and reinforcements on the plan, and then the individual components are glued according to the sequence of pictures in the picture manual. The construction goes quickly by hand and in a short time you will have the hull assembled as a whole.

The front of the fuselage

Glue a balsa block to the front of the fuselage and glue a laminate engine bed to it. Depending on the diameter of the laminate engine bed, you will then grind the balsa block into a circular cross-section.

Wing construction

The wing is assembled on a 1: 1 plan, the ribs have auxiliary protrusions that ensure the symmetry of the wing. Thanks to this, you don't have to worry about assembling the twisted wing.

Wing flaps

The use of flaps is much more versatile for gliders than for conventional engine aircraft models, because they are used not only during old and landing but also for setting flight modes during flight. Use the wing flaps to set a faster flight when moving across the sky or increase the profile curvature and adjust the slow flight to the thermals.

Recommended transmitters Spectrum of the new generation of the NX series

We recommend modern SPEKTRUM NX programmable transmitters for controlling aircraft models:

• 6-channel transmitter series NX Spectrum NX6 DSMX, AR6610T with Smart compatibility, USB and WiFi connection .
• 8-channel transmitter series NX Spectrum NX8 DSMX, AR8020T with voice output, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connection .
• NX Spektrum NX10 DSMX series 10-channel transmitter with the latest trends, voice output, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .

Recommended chargers for conventional and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC aircraft models, then we recommend the following chargers:

• Charger with mains power supply Spektrum S1100AC with one output 1x100W .
• Charger with mains power supply Spektrum S2100 with two outputs 2x 100W .

Recommended modern chargers for Smart batteries

• High performance AC charger Spektrum Smart G2 charger S1400 1x400W AC with one output 400W .
• High performance AC charger Spektrum Smart G2 charger S2200 2x200W AC with two outputs 2x200W .

There is a reduction for charging IC5 / IC3 Spectrum conversion cable IC5 device - IC3 battery 10cm 10 AWG.

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a case for storing LiPol batteries. From our range we recommend a quality set of Allen screwdrivers 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0mm and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). The Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) and a Modelcraft cutting knife with an A6 washer will certainly be suitable for assembly.

For quick repair of aircraft models, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy adhesive. From our offer we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for batteries

Protective covers are designed to reduce the risk associated with transporting and charging batteries. LiPo batteries can, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is prone to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.

GLUING OF WOODEN COMPONENTS

The plan is laid on a flat wooden worktop made of soft wood (laťovku), on the plan it is necessary to lay a transparent foil that will protect the plan from adhesives. For gluing, we use model pins which fix the components in the exact position. Conventional gluing of wooden parts is glued with dispersion PVA glue or Speedbond PVA glue to wood, 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 Speed Epoxy II 4 min 28g, in a larger package Speed Epoxy II 20 min 224g and for extra high strength Fusion two-component high-strength glue 75ml.

FAST 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, various types of clamps are a welcome help. Modelcraft model stiffener 50mm, Modelcraft parallel clamp 50mm, Modelcraft nylon clamps 75mm and 50mm (3 + 6pcs) or Modelcraft flexible multifunctional clamp small (2pcs)

Cutting tools

When working with different materials, you need knives, saws, scissors and a lot of other tools. We can recommend Modelcraft break-off knives (set of 3), Modelcraft set of 3 knives with 13 blades, Modelcraft model saw 165x22mm 10 teeth / cm or Modelcraft model saw 203x44mm 6 teeth / cm, special Lexan straight shears or Lexan body curved shears

Modeling tools and pad

For precise cutting, gluing of parts and also as table protection, we recommend the Modelcraft modeling cutter A3 and safety ruler.

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 skeleton's 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.
