Carbon Fibre internal parts for Micro Magic RC sailing boat

oxyblack 2011

Welcome Congratulations on your purchase of Micro Magic Carbon carbon fibre internal parts. By using this kit your Micro Magic will be lighter, stronger and prepared to maneuver faster and more efficiently. Also important, is that carbon fibre is a material that doesn't deteriorate and doesn't absorb water, avoiding the weight increase of the parts. The components that constitute it are virtually indestructible if properly used.

Extremely lightweight and strongGiven the characteristics of the material they are made of, several layers of carbon fibre 200g/m2, the parts of your kit are extraordinarily light and particularly strong. Hence they guarantee a minimum weight in Micro Magic and a maximum strength and stiffness when they are applied to the effort for which they were manufactured.

Unbreakable even in the toughest conditionsThe resistance of the parts is far superior to the originals, giving more strength to your Micro Magic in the most demanding conditions.Even under conditions of high humidity or the presence of water carbon fibre keeps all its properties and does not show any signs of deterioration for a virtually unlimited period of time.

Warranty The Micro Magic Carbon carbon fibre internal parts when mounted according to your Micro Magic building instructions, is in itself a guarantee. However, Oxyblack-composites, Lda is at your disposal for any query via the e-mail: info@oxyblack.com

Easy to assemble1- CARE DURING HANDLING: The dust released during the cutting, sanding, drilling and preparation process is toxic. You should always use breath protecting mask and gloves. Also if you use a mini-drill to cut the parts you should ware protective glasses.2- REMOVE PARTS FROM FRAME: To remove parts from the carbon frame use a small blade saw, a small file or a mini-drill with de adequate accessory.3- PREPARATION OF THE SUFACES FOR BONDING: The carbon fibre surfaces to be glued need to be previously sanded with an average grade (600 grs or similar) and afterwards cleaned and degreased with acetone or benzene. To check the adequacy of the surface for bonding you can do the “water drop test”. The test consists in spraying the surface with water (Fig. 1), and checking its behavior: If the sprayed water distributes evenly over the surface creating a continuous area (Fig. 2), the surface is ready to be bonded after drying; If otherwise, the water separates into small drops over the surface (fig. 3), you should repeat the sanding/degreasing process.

4- GLUING: The same epoxy glue that is used to assemble the boat can be used in the same manner to glue the Micro Magic Carbon carbon fibre internal parts.

Note: Carefully follow all instructions respecting the amount of mixing and curing times specified by the manufacturer of the epoxy glue to prevent the risk of not getting a good bond. Preferably use a digital scale to dose the right quantities. Mix the two components properly in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture.5- DRILLING AND FIXING: To drill and fix your Micro Magic Carbon carbon fibre internal parts, you can use the tools that you would use for the original material.

NOTE: Carbon fibre is conductor of electricity, therefore the electrical components should be isolated.
