Introduction
A true breakthrough in electric flight, the Tensor 4D
lightweight design takes extreme 3D aerobatics to a
new level. The Tensor is designed by Aerodynamicist
George Hicks, a top-level Unlimited Aerobatic ace.
The Tensor features unique side force generators for
maximum yaw authority and knife–edge flight, light
wing loading, carbon fiber wing and tail support
for reinforcement and added strength, and precision
laser cut pre-painted flat foam construction.

Fuselage Assembly
Required Parts
Vertical fuselage Horizontal fuselage
Horizontal fuselage support (2) Elevator/stabilizer
Carbon elevator joiner brace
Required Tools and Adhesives
Foam-safe CA Square
1. Carefully remove the horizontal fuselage
supports from the horizontal fuselage.
2. Slide the horizontal fuselage partially into
position. The unpainted side will face the bottom
of the fuselage.
8
3. Use foam-safe CA to attach the carbon
stabilizer joiner brace to the bottom of
the elevator.
4. Slide the elevator/stabilizer assembly
into position.
9
5. Slide the horizontal fuselage fully forward in the
fuselage. Center it in the main fuselage, making
sure the notch at the rear fits with the stabilizer.
Note: There are small notches along the center
of the horizontal fuselage to aid in alignment.
6. Use foam-safe CA to glue the horizontal
fuselage to the vertical fuselage.
Note: Do not use accelerator unless you are
sure it will not harm the foam or paint on
your model.
10
7. Slide the stabilizer forward against the
horizontal fuselage. Use a square to check the
alignment to the fuselage.
8. Use foam-safe CA to glue the stabilizer
into position.
9. Use foam-safe CA to glue the horizontal
fuselage supports into position on the bottom of
the fuselage support.
