BOM:

1x EDF 64mm

1x 80A ESC

Lipo 4S 3000mah

5x 9g metal gear servo FROM BAMBULAB SHOP

600g PLA aer or ASA aero and 60g PLA

servo vable extentions (nearly 2m in total)

8mmx6mmx380mm carbon fiber rod (OPTIONNAL) but will get in the way of the turbine's intake airflow

5x 80mm 1.2mm steel rods

5X push rod attachment

8 magnets 10x3mm FROM BAMBULAB SHOP

20cm Velcro FROM BAMBULAB SHOP

M3x25mm Machine screws + nuts FROM BAMBULAB SHOP

CA-Glue

CENTER OF GRAVITY (or cog) should be around 6cm from the front trailing edge of the wing (not proven yet, i will do the maiden in a couple of days due to bad weather conditions, maiden video coming soon)

assembly:

L stands for left

R stands for right

A stands for aileron

E stands for elevator

R stands for rudder

T stands for top

B stands for bottom

glue the servo mounts in place with the letters as reference you can start by wiring the servos and fixing them in place because the wiring management is kind of bad as there is no much space over the turbine (note that the esc will be placed in the right section of the wiring management tunnel so try to put the rest of the servo wires from the other side and only the right aileron cables alongside the esc) if you dont have a space, break gently and slowly walls to pass the cables throughglue the fuselage parts together with CA glue or super glueglue the control surfaces together (ailerons right 1+2+3, ailerons left 1+2+3 and rudder 1+2) then glue the hinges onto them you will find 10 short hinges for the control surfaces linkages and 2 long hinges for the ailerons middle attachement pointglue the horisontal and vertical stabilizers in place then glue the two little triangular shaped fuselage rear extention with hinge holes in the back. careful that the angle of the parts having hinge holes in it is -8° and not +8°place the control surfaces then close them by glueing the stabilizers tips from the sides. make sure they rotate smoothly the whole time so they are free form super glue (if the pins attached to the control surfaces are difficult to turn once you insert them, then turn theme manually until they loosen up the light wight pla)OPTIONNAL: place the CF rod in the fuselage then glue it inglue the longs midle aileron hinges in the ailerons with the pla hinge holder put in itglue the wing in place then place the ailerons (hinges rotating in the fuselage holes) then glue the tip of the wing with the rockets (closing the hinges in place) make sure no glue reaches the hingesglue the middle hinge holder to the wingglue the canopey parts togetherglue two magnets on each egde of the canopey and glue 2 magnets on each side of the fuselage's canopey placemake 2 openings on the fuselage area near the turbine to enable you to connect and disconnect the esc wires to the turbine (cut it with a raozr sharp blade or just with the bed scaper from bambulab)glue magnets to the cut part to reinstall it as shown belowcut ventillation section over the esc (cut narrow U shapes, bend them upwards and glue them im place) to avoid overheatingput the 2 nuts in the turbine mount base and glue it in placeinstall the turbine, with the wires passed through the hole to the fuselage then install the coverput a tiny bit of glue on the brackets (with screw holes) attatched to the turbine cover and let dry. avoid putting much glue and gluing the whole cover in placepull the cover out and glue the brackets firmlyglue the front fuselage tipstick the velcro in place and tune the center of gravity so it alligns with the marks found under the wingif you made it this far, congratulations, you finished bulding your plane! feel free to paint it in creative ways! and dont hesitate to share your build and feedback here!
