Intended use

PEP is an electric airplane model for advanced beginners. It is suit-

able for 2S lipo batteries up to max. 2200 mAh. The flight character-

istics and look of the model depend directly on the quality of the

bodywork, so the assembly of the model requires a precise and con-

sidered approach.

PEP is designed exclusively to be used in battery-powered, radio con-

trolled models, any other use is not allowed. For any improper use

no guarantee or liability is assumed.

Read through this entire manual before you attempt to install or use

the PEP.

Graupner/SJ constantly works on the development of all products;

we reserve the right to change the item, its technology and equip-

ment.

Target group

The item is not a toy. It is not suitable for children under 14. Young

people should be overwied and helped by experienced model mak-

ers while assembling and flying this model. The assembly steps are

described as follows and illustrated with assembly photos and

sketches.

If you do not have sufficient knowledge about assembling and deal-

ing with aircraft models, please contact an experienced modeler or

a model club.

Glue

UHU-Holzleim is suitable for almost all of the required gluing pro-

cesses. For some adhesive joints, however, superglue is prescribed,

as indicated in the instructions below.

Assembly step 1

First mark a straight line in

the middle of the construc-

tion board, then cover the

construction board with

transparent film so that no

parts stick to it. Fasten the

fuselage bottom (1) and (3)

as well as the cover (2) con-

gruently. Insert the cover (2)

loosely, do not glue it. Glue

the bulk (4) inclined by 2 °

forward using the angle tem-

plate (52). This results in a

motor inclination of 2 °. Glue

the other bulks (5) to (7) ver-

tically.

Assembly step 2

Remove the cover (2). Cham-

fer the triangular strips (11)

at the back over a length of 2

cm, then glue them together

with the reinforcements (8)

and secure them. Make sure

that both reinforcements (8)

are exactly flush with the

outer edge of the fuselage

bottom parts (1) and (3).

Only when the adhesive has

dried out well, detach the

fuselage from the construc-

tion board and grind it sides

with the sanding block.

Assembly step 3

Glue the part (23), the hole

must match the one in the

fuselage bottom (3). Glue

the reinforcements (9) and

(10) with the triangular strips

(11) and secure them. Glue

the part (53). Press the nuts

(13) into the support (12)

and glue them with instant

glue. Make sure that no glue

penetrates the threads of

the nuts. Round off the outer

side edges of the support

(12) on the top, then glue in

the support. The rounded

edges are required so that

later the band (14) fits well.

10 / 20 4318_PN_V1

Assembly step 4

After hardening the wood

glue, carefully remove the

fuselage from the construc-

tion board. Sand the outer

sides of the fuselage with

the sanding block (54) using

the coarse grained side. Do

not sand off the protruding

noses of part (53). Please

note that this sanding work

is carried out thoroughly,

this is very important for the

further construction and is

the prerequisite for an opti-

mally shaped model fuse-

lage.

Assembly step 5

Stick the polyester tape (14)

with superglue as shown in

the picture on the left. Apply

the super glue to the sup-

port (12) and reinforce-

ments (9) and (10) before

stretching the polyester

tape. Please make sure that

this bonding process is car-

ried out exclusively with

instant adhesive, as no other

adhesive ensures a suffi-

ciently good bond between

polyester and plywood or

balsa wood. During the later

flight maneuvers the multi-

ple fly forces of the model

weight must be absorbed by

the support (12).
