Introduction:
Thank you for choosing one of the FlatfoilZ Profile Series airplanes. The assembly of all the
FlatFoilZ planes is very simple and requires a minimum of building skills. This Quick Start Guide is
provided for those with some building experience. The full Assembly Manual is available at 3DX
Hobbies.com. Warning
This radio-controlled model is not a toy and, if operated inappropriately can cause serious
bodily injury and property damage. It is the buyer’s responsibility to assemble the kit correctly
and properly install the motor, radio and all other equipment. The model must always be flown in
accordance with the safety standards of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).
Recommended Power System:
The FlatFoilZ series of planes have been designed to use a 175 to 250 watt power system.
Recommended motors include the Hacker A20-20L, Scorpion 2215-18, or AXI 2217-16. The
prototypes were flown with a 1350 mAh, 3S Li-poly battery and a 25 amp ESC. Other power
systems with similar capabilities can be used. Performance will vary depending on the specific
power system selected. For information on alternate power systems please visit
http://3dxhobbies.com or your local hobby shop.
General Comments on Assembly:
While not difficult to assemble, the FlatFoilZ Series kits are intended for persons with some building
experience. As such, the instructions are presented as a simple sequence that, when followed, will
help ensure that the airframe turns out straight and light. Improperly aligned surfaces and
unnecessary weight will only hinder its performance. All the FlatFoilZ prototype wings and fuselages
were laminated using 15 minute epoxy thinned with alcohol. Apply glue and epoxy in a thin uniform
coat, using only enough to achieve a strong bond. Excess glue or epoxy will only add unnecessary
weight and will not increase the strength of your model. Trial fit all components to ensure fit and
alignment before applying any glue or epoxy. Keeping joints tight fitting will minimize the amount of
glue required and will ensure a strong bond. Use a light touch while sanding. Foam cuts very
quickly and excess pressure can limit your ability to accurately shape the foam. Take extra care not
to over sand. Avoid scratching the surface of the Depron foam.
