Note: If you are building your Cloud ranger with the optional ailerons, you will need to supply the control horns and pushrods.

The first thing that you need to do is to identify and mark the part numbers on the laser cut parts using the drawings on the following pages as a guide.
It is possible that several of the laser cut parts may not be completely cut through. If this is the case you can free the part from the sheet quickly using an X-acto knife.
NOTE: The slight discoloration on the edges of the laser cut parts may be removed by lightly sanding the edges with 400 grit sandpaper.

General Note: Cover the plans with wax paper before assembling your model to prevent the parts from sticking to the plan.

Building the Tail Surfaces

 

1.

Join R-1 and R-2 together over the plan. Temporarily hinge the rudder (R-3) to the fin. Do not glue the hinges at this time. Bend the tail wheel wire to shape and glue it into position into the bottom of the rudder.

2.

Join the elevators using the 1/8″ dowel. Use the plan and the stabilizer as a guide. Trim the dowel as required to achieve the proper length.

3.

Temporarily hinge the elevators to the stabilizer. Do not glue the hinges at this time.

4.

Sand the tail surfaces smooth and round all of the edges except the bottom edge of the fin.

Building the Fuselage

 

5.

Assemble the left fuselage side (F-1). Glue parts F-1A, F-1B, F-1C, F-2 and F-3 together as shown on the plan. Parts F-2 and F-3 are glued on the inside of the fuselage. Parts F-2 are marked with an L or R for the left and right side. Be sure to make a left and a right side.
