ASSEMBLING THE MODEL
4. General information on DLG-models
DLG-models are constructed strong enough to withstand the demands of starting, flying and landing
and at the same time light enough to achieve the least possible flying weight. Each part is dimensioned
to its possible minimum and produced using lightest and fewest material.
In order to continue this concept, please account the following when you assemble the model:
- Always use glue sparingly. Grind all gluing spots thoroughly, before you apply the glue.
- Electronic components should be placed as far as possible to the front, as you normally need
additional lead in the nose of the fuselage to achieve the necessary centre of gravity.
- For the same reason try to save weight especially when you finish and mount the stabilizer.
As FW6.2 has developed from the Fireworks-family, you may find some pictures of Fireworks 4, FW5,
FW6 and also Mini-Fireworks in the following instruction. Don’t let yourself be confused by this, the way
of building described is quite the same.

5. Wing
5.1 Controlling the ailerons
Remove the foam to have enough space for the aileron servo.
At the moment we prefer the KST X08 servos.
We protect the servos with a shrinking tube and glue them into
the servo box. (Don’t glue the servo now, first read to the end.)
When you want to replace the servo, you just have to cut the
shrinking tube and take out the servo.

Set the servo to its zero position and let the lever show a little
bit to the front. So you get more break deflection.
The lever length should be 6,5mm (first hole of the KST lever).
The length is measured from rotation center to hole center.
Preparing the 1.5mm steel on the end for the servo:
90° for the lever (view from the top)
And a little bit upwards (view from the side)
Now thread the steel into
the predrilled hole.
Make a test to see, if the
steel runs well with little
friction.
If not make little
corrections of the hole
with a 3mm round file.
Make the test also with the servo in the box.

Then set the servo to the
zero position and mark,
where the steel must be
bent at the aileron side.
In order to be able to bend
the steel, push the steel
as much as possible to the
rear and fix it with a tape
to make sure that the steel
won’t move while bending.
First, bend the steel 90° in
direction of the lever.
Then, bend it a little bit
upwards.
Open the hole of the
lever to have a good
fitting without much
friction and without getting
too much clearance.
Then put the lever into the
aileron for a test. Grind on
the necessary areas to
get a free movement.
Check, if the
recommended deflections
are possible.
Solder the servo cable to the contact before you glue the servo
into the box.
Before you start gluing grind all gluing spots well.
First, glue the lever into the aileron.
Then set the servo to zero and also the aileron (fix the aileron
with a tape) and glue the servo into the box.

Special hints for the installation of the spring contacts:
In order to avoid contact to the carbon fiber mill holes into the spots of fuselage and wing, where the
contacts will be installed. Isolate all the contacts that could touch the carbon.
During flight you should control that the screws are always firmly screwed. It could happen that the
contacts slip to the black plastic strips and the spring contacts raise from the contact areas.
So please level the plastic strips to the contact areas. So lifting off from this areas should be avoided.
Isolate all the contacts that should not touch the carbon.
A contact to the carbon could cause failures to the controls.
At the right picture you see the part which was isolated with “Plasti Dip”.

Here is a little trick to
easily find the right
measures of the servo
cover.
Use the edges of the tape
to transfer the edges of the
servo hole to the cover.
5.2. Installation of throwing blade
The throwing blade has a molded adhesive flap. By this,
installation is greatly simplified.
Grind the gluing spots on wing and blade well and free them
from sanding dust. Then fix the throwing peg with epoxy glue.

6. Fuselage
6.1 Radio board
First of all, push the
ballast tube into the
fuselage. For safety, you
should only stick it when
all parts are well
positioned.
For the rudder and
elevator we still
recommend D47 from
Dymond.
Therefore the radio board
which is enclosed in the kit
has cuttings prepared for
this servo.
These are the tried and
tested lengths for the
levers of the servos:
Lever for elevator:
app.10mm
Lever for rudder:
app.9mm
Measured from rotation
center to hole center.
6.2 Gluing the radio board
Before you fix the radio
board in the fuselage, grind
all gluing spots thoroughly.
In order to gain full
strength, it is absolutely
necessary to fix the radio
board in the fuselage!
Before you glue the radio
board, you should first find
out the optimal position of
the servo board. To do so,
place the radio board inside
the fuselage without gluing
and mount all servos.
You can fix the radio board
with a drop of super glue
to make the position check
easier.
