Check your items.

You should have the following parts.

  • 2 Fuselage sides
  • 1 Mono block
  • 1 Elevator
  • 1 Rudder
  • 1 Back Former
  • 1 Fuselage Top (Shorter)
  • 1 Fuselage Bottom (Longer)
  • 2 Main Wing Halves
  • 6 Wing Ribs

Building The Main Wing

You have to make two dihedral braces out of hard board. Dihedral angle is 10 Degrees. Length on one side is 8cm, (both sides together 16cm). Width 5mm.

One dihedral brace

Both dihedral braces

Cut two slots in the main wings to fit the dihedral braces

Glue the wing ribs to the wing halves as in the image.

Glue the dihedral braces in the grew s, as in the image. Make sure they are flush with the top and bottom of the wing. Use a sanding block to flush it to the surface.

Glue the wing halves to gether and run a hot glue bead on top and bottom of the wing.

Motor Mount

Make a motor mount with a peice of light weight.

The mount should be “T” shaped, slide the T it to the grew in the monoblock and glue it in place. This ensures that the motor doesn’t rip off the foam, in a crash.

Just gluing a flat motor mount without the T shape will damage the monoblock if the motor hits the ground on a crash.

Fuselage

Glue the fuselage sides to the mono block first.

Glue the back former just behind the rear main wing slot.

Glue the fuselage top and bottom. (Bottom is longer). They should be glued in such a way that they are in flush with the fuselage side’s top border.

Control Rods

Use G20(0.75mm) Spring wire (Can be bought at spring manufacturers) for creating control rods. Make sure they are not too long, or they will tend to bend on movement.

Landing Gear

Use G16(1.6mm) Spring wire or two bicycle spokes welded to gether, to make the landing gear. Attach the wheels, and fasten them with peices of rubber coating from a wire.

Servo Installation.

Servos can be installed on the sides of the fuselage between the rear former, and the rear end. Make sure the distance is appropriate so that the control rods do not zag on movement.

Other Images

This is my version of the blubaby. Slightly different wing, with no ribs. Flies well, has survived many crashes.  I have used a carbon rod instead of a dihedral brace.
