The 2014 RVJET kit brings a new spar design, which has been designed for easy

break down and transport. It contains new carbon fiber parts and requires additionalassembly instructions.

Wing Spar Assembly

CF parts used for the spars:

2pcs x 10.0mm OD x 8.0mm ID 420mm CF tubes (fuselage front and rear) Woven2pcs x 10.0mm OD x 8.0mm ID 490mm CF tubes (wing rear) Woven

2pcs x 10.0mm OD x 8.0mm ID 290mm CF tubes (wing front) Woven

8pcs x 8.0mm x 70mm CF rod (interconnecting wing, ext, fuse)

CF parts used for other parts of the build

4pcs x 1. 0mm x 3.0mm x 472.0mm Carbon Fiber Strip

2pcs x 3.0mm x 2.0mm x 145mm Carbon Fiber Square Rod

Wing Spar Assembly - Parts list

• Be careful when using CA glue with the carbon fiber parts. The glue will cure so fast,

that your thumb skin will be left sticking to the part. The CA bond is very permanentand hard to remove. Test fit 3 times, glue one time :) My suggestion is to apply the thin

CA to the CF parts AFTER they have been inserted and positioned. Wait for the glue to

fully dry, and only after that proceed fitting and assembling.

• The 8.0mm interconnecting rods have been sanded by our workers to match the

10.0mm tubes in your kit. You should have a semi-tight fit between the rod and tube at

the point where there is a removable wing panel.

Wing Spar Assembly - Warnings


9/19


Insert the two 10.0mm OD x 8.0mm ID 420mm CF tubes (fuselage front and rear)

These steps do not accurately represent the actual sequence of the build process.

Gluing the fuselage from and rear tubes is better done while the top and bottom

fuselage halves are still open.

Before you glue:

•Run your FPV wiring through the top fuselage channels

•Mount your motor and ESC

Wing Spar Assembly – Step 1


10/19


Glue the tubes to the fuselage.


7th January 2015


Edge of tube should be

flush with side of fuselage.


11/19


Glue four 8.0mm interconnecting rods into the fuselage tubes.


7th January 2015


Interconnecting rods should

be inserted halfway

Now decide if you want to build the RVJET short wing or

long wing version (1.95m)

The 2014 kit comes with parts needed to build either versions of the RVJET. It is

possible to use the included spars and make the wings interchangeable. This is usually

more trouble than its worth. You have to be aware of center of gravity changes, servo

extension wire lengths, and multiple removable panels. For this reason, we

recommend to choose a wing style and stick with it.

Long wing

Install the servo. Apply glue to all areas where EPO and CF parts meet. Also, apply

glue to the servo. Glue the bottom wing covers. Apply fiber tape on seams.

Short/Long Interchangeable Wing Panels

If you want to be able to switch between short wing or long wing configuration:

Glue the 8.0mm interconnecting rod half way into the extension.

Securing the wings and breaking down for transport

There is not a perfect wing joiner solution. We find that for most flights, the semi-tight fit

of the rod and tube is enough to hold the wings. You may of course use additional

ways of securing the wings such as: tape, rubber bands, o-rings, or magnets.
