GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

Thank you, for purchasing this Stevens Aeromodel SQuiRT 700 – A speed 700 primary trainer. This kit provides the

builder and pilot a refreshing change of pace from heavy “ARF” style plywood box airframe construction and blends stick

and tissue design methods of the past with state of the art CAD technology and precision interlocking laser cut parts; the

result is something you will find truly exceptional to build and fly. This kit is intended for a beginner-novice builder and

beginner pilot as a primary 3-channel trainer.

Best Regards,

Bill Stevens

Assembly Tips

•READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and the plan sheet prior to starting any work!

•Tape plans to work table. Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap.

•Join all joints with Thin CA unless otherwise specified.

•DO NOT REMOVE THE PARTS FROM THE BALSA SHEETS UNTIL REQUIRED!

•DO NOT FORCE THE FIT – when in doubt double check your parts - removal of material should not be

required. If you feel that you have a poor connection check first to see that the part is not upside down.

Reference each piece against the plan sheet.

•Making solid glue joints: Hold parts together on top of plan sheet using moderate pressure to fit parts - wick thin

CA into joint. (There is no need to pin parts to work table as all pieces interlock and self - jig.)

Empennage Assembly

1. Assembly of the empennage or “tail feathers” simply requires locating the parts that make up the H. Stab /

Elevator assembly and the V. Stab / Rudder assembly. The H. Stab parts are etched Ha, Hb, and Hc; remove

these from the 3/16” balsa stock and assemble over the plan sheet. The V. Stab parts are etched Va, Vb, and

Vc; remove these from the 3/16” balsa stock and assemble over the plan sheet.

2. Fill/Sand the joints of the completed H. and V. Stab assemblies to a smooth finish on both sides.

3. Sand the leading edge of the H. and V. Stab assemblies round leaving the trailing edge squared off.

Round Leading Edge

Leave Trailing Edge Square

Sanding Guide - H. and V. Stabilizer

45 Deg. Leading Edge

Leave Trailing Edge Square

Sanding Guide - Rudder / Elevator

4. Remove the Rudder and Elevator Parts and sand a 45 deg. bevel to the leading edge in preparation for tape

hinging. Again, leave the trailing edge square.

NOTE: These parts are cut from heavy 3/16” balsa and are solid. If you are running our suggested stock

S700 motor DO NOT attempt to lighten these components… doing so will limit your ability to balance the

model. Better to leave these heavy and strong then weaken the structure and add lead to the tail.

Fuselage Assembly

1. Assemble Fuselage Sides from 1/8” Balsa parts: Fa, Fb, and Fc. Use the following image as a guide. Fill/Sand

the joints to a smooth finish. Assemble fuselage cross grain components F7 from F7a and F7b.

2. Lets begin construction by assembling the fuselage core. Locate the following 1/8” Lite Plywood parts marked

F2, F3a, F3b, and F4. Dry fit (no glue) the assembly together as indicated in the photo below. Please note that

F2 and F4 have forward designations these parts are etched with the word “FRONT” do make certain to

assemble these parts with “FRONT” facing the nose of the model. Tip! If a part does not fit properly check the

forward orientation.

3. Locate the 1/8” Lite Plywood part F1 and dry fit to the core as indicated in the photo below. Make certain that

the entire assembly fits together without any gaps; check for square then glue parts together by wicking thin CA

glue into adjoining surfaces.

4. Invert the core assembly and add the 1/16” plywood motor mount doubler F1a to the inside of the core

assembly as pictured below.

5. Next, install the 1/8” Lite Plywood Parts L1, L2, and F3c to the underside of the core as indicated in the

following photo.

6. Use the 1/8” balsa fuselage sides (assembled previously) and the 1/8” balsa former F5. Dry fit former F5 to the

rear of the core assembly and the fuselage sides as indicated in the photo below. Once satisfied with the fit,

glue the fuselage side to the core assembly. Repeat for the opposite side. Tip! you must fit F5 to the core prior

to joining the fuselage sides.

7. Now install the F7 cabin cross grain doublers (assembled previously). These parts key inside the fuselage as

indicated in the photo below.

8. Locate the 3/32” balsa part F8 and install to the front of the cabin spanning the fuselage sides and F7 as

indicated in the photo below. Tip! F7 is recessed to receive F8; align the top of F8 with the upper recess in F7.

Next add the second 1/16” ply motor mount doubler F1b atop F1.

9. Now locate the 3/32” balsa part F9 and the 1/8” balsa part F6. Dry fit F9 to the top of the fuselage, next fit the

former F6 to the fuselage and part F9. Invert the fuselage on your work surface, square, and retain parts with

thin CA glue.

10. Locate the 1/16” Plywood servo tray and glue inside the fuselage as indicated in the photos below. Next locate

the 3/32” balsa cross grain doubler for the rear wing dowel, marked F13, and install this directly behind former

F5 matching the 3/16” holes in the doubler with those in the fuselage side.

Receiver

4.5" Dowel (Gear Lug)

Install F13 cross-grain doubler behind

former F5 on the INSIDE of the fuselage

assembly. Match the 316" holes in F13 to

those in the fuselage side. Do this after

installing F9 but prior to installing F11.

11. Locate the 3/32” balsa part F11 and note the etch mark illustrated in the photo below. We need to glue the

1/16” ply tail gear mount F14 atop F11. To do this align the leading edge of F14 to the etch mark in F11, center

the part F14 to F11 and glue into position. F14 will NOT extend all the way to the aft end of F11. Use the

photos below and the plan sheet as a reference. Should you choose not to make the steerable tail gear

assembly you may mount almost any tail gear to this ply re-enforced area of the SQuiRT fuselage.

12. Next, fit the 1/8” balsa part F10 to the aft end of the fuselage as indicated in the photo below.

13. Use the 3/32” balsa assembly of parts F11 and F14 from the previous step. Key to the fuselage as indicated in

the photo below with the ply doubler F14 on the INSIDE of the fuselage. Once satisfied with the fit, square the

assembly to your work table and secure with thin CA glue.

14. Locate the 1/8” balsa parts F12 and key within the underside of the fuselage as indicated in the photo below.

F12 doubles the fuselage battery access hatch and is shaped along it’s leading edge to fit snug against the

inside plywood structure. Tip! Make certain that F12 rests upon the F11 decking installed in the step prior.

15. Assemble the battery access hatch catch/cross brace from 3/32” balsa parts C1, C2, and C3 as indicated in the

photos below. With the catch/brace assembled install one 3/16” rare earth magnet in the circular cutout –

secure the magnet with thin CA glue.

16. Install the completed cross brace to the fuselage as indicated in the photo below. The leading edge of the

catch/brace should be flush with the leading edge of the deck part F11. Tip! Sand lightly if the fit is too snug (a

result of the C1,2,3 parts not being aligned properly when gluing) – don’t force the parts to fit.
