Millennium MICRO-SSX Manuale utente

Millennium RC presents…Build Kit

Biplane

Flying weight: Approx. 6 -7oz. (with recommended setup)

Wing Span: 21 1/2"

Wing Area: 240 sq. inches

Wing Loading: 3.6 oz./ sq. ft.

Length: 18”

Introduction:

The MicroSSX™Biplane Build Kit is a fun-to-fly and build classic biplane version of the popular Millennium

R/C MicroSSX airplane. The MicroSSX™Biplane has the same wing span and length as the original Micro

SSX™, and is similar in that it is aerobatic and can handle the wind fairly well, but the Biplane is capable of

sustaining slower flight due to its lower wing loading.

Adult supervision recommended for children 15 and under. R/C Airplanes should be flown following safety

guidelines provided by the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics).

CAUTION: This is not a toy!

Recommendations:

1. Read through each step before starting assembly.

2. After removing all the pieces from packaging, inspect to make sure there are no broken or missing parts.

3. Check off each completed step to help keep from losing your place.

MicroSSX™Biplane Build Kit Assembly Instructions Rev. 2

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT GLUE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO!

Assembly Instructions:

1. Cut-don’t break, the balsa and plywood parts from

the parts sheets. Breaking the parts out of the sheets

can damage the parts. The top of each wing is

identified by the installation of the main spar. The

main spar is always installed from the TOP. You

may sand away excess material from break-away. If

desired, may also sand away any laser burn.

2. Build 2 W1B ribs from W1B, W1b and W1bb.

(Glue) Fig 1

Figure 1

3. Build 2 W2B ribs from W2B, W2b and W2bb.

(Glue) Fig 2

Figure 2

4. Build 2 frames from LE, TE and W2C. (Glue) Fig 3

Figure 3

5. Install Ribs W1A, W1B, W6 and W7 and Ply wood

pieces P11/P11A, P9 and P10 for the bottom wing

(No Glue) Fig 4

Figure 4

6. Install Ribs W2A, W2B, W6 and W7 Ply wood

pieces P22/P16, P9 and P10 for the top wing. (No

Glue) Fig 5

7. Install spar crutch W10 and remaining stringers.

Tack glue ribs to TE. Set wings on flat surface,

square all parts and glue with thin CA. Fig 6

Figure 6

8. Install wing tips.W8 and W9. Slice the two parts in

half to install. It will be necessary to bevel W9

where it joins with W8. (Glue) Fig 7

Figure 7

9. Install 1/32 deck D2 on upper wing top. (Glue) Fig 8

10. Install 1/32 deck D3 on lower wing top. Fig. 9

(Glue)

Figure 9

11. Install 1/32 deck D1 on lower wing bottom. Fig. 10

(Glue)

Figure 10

12. Build Vertical/horizontal stabilizer and

rudder/elevator as shown in Fig11 and 12 on

attached sheet. (See BP-HS.WMF and BP-

VS.WMF) 2 Plywood pieces “PS1” should be

doubled-up to make the leading edge of the elevator.

13. Bevel bottom elevator 45 °, one side of rudder and

bottom of ailerons. Remember to mirror the ailerons.

14. Using a fine sandpaper, sand all tail surfaces, round

all edges, and taper leading edges of all control

surfaces, including ailerons.

15. Cover wings and tail with light model covering such

as Solite or World Models Lightex. Apply decals as

desired.

16. Cut openings in covering. Gray areas indicate

uncovered openings. Fig 13, 14 and 15. Make sure

wings are true and flat after covering. A twisted

wing can be corrected withopposite twist.

18. Assemble tail mount. Fig 17 P1 P2 and P3

Figure 17

19. Build the battery mount and two servo mounts.

Make sure parts are square. Fig 18 P5, P17 and P18

Figure 18

20. Assemble landing gear block. Fig 19 P19 P20 and

P21

Figure 19

21. The biplane has 8-0.060” diameter carbon struts. 4

wing struts, 2 front and 2 center cross struts.

a. Wing struts: 4.840”

b. Front struts: 2.675”

c. Center cross struts: 5.000” (May need to be

trimmed during installation)

To cut the carbon rods, use a sharp Exacto knife

and a rolling action.

The cross struts are installed last.

Make sure they bottom out in the slots. Also

make sure each set is exactly the same length.

Do not install them until all warps are ironed out

of the wings and told to do so in the instructions.

Set them aside for now.

Final Assembly

22. Tape a length of Scotch tape™ along the rear

trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer and secure

with your finger (either side is fine). Now, flip the

stabilizer and place on a work surface. See diagram

below:

23. Now, take the elevator. You will see that the

elevator has a ‘beveled’ edge. This is important in

creating the hinge. Ensure that the beveled edge is

pointing up, and while holding at a 45° angle, place

up against the trailing edge of the horizontal

stabilizer and secure the hinge tape to the elevator

with your finger. See diagrams below:

24. Turn the stabilizer assembly over, and carefully fold

the elevator back onto the stabilizer.

25. Tape another length of Scotch tape™ along the

bottom hinge line and secure with your finger.

26. Fold the elevator back to normal position. Test the

hinge by pulling gently on the control surface. Cut

off any excess tape overhanging the stabilizer sides.

27. Repeat the steps 21. thru 26. for the rudder and

ailerons.

28. Build the servo tray. Fig 20

Figure 20

Figure 21

29. (Fig 21) Slide P12A onto the fuselage stick and

glue 6-1/4” from the tail end. Slide P12 onto the

fuselage and leave it loose. Slide the tail mount

onto the fuselage end and align it so that it is

square with the flat edge of P12A. Glue it and

allow the glue to dry. Secure P12 to P12A with

2 #0-1/4 screw. Do not glue P12 to P12A. Slide

the servo assembly onto the front of the

fuselage, align it so that it is square with the flat

edge of P12A and glue it with CA glue.

30. Slide the fuselage assemblythrough the front

lower wing mount. P12 should be glued into the

slot on the trailing edge of the wing. Align the

wing so that it is parallel to the tail mount. Glue

the tail section vertical and horizontal stabilizer

together so they are square. Glue the tail

assembly to the tail mount. Make sure it is

parallel with the wing. Fig 22, 23 and 24

Figure 22

Figure 23

Figure 24

31. Slide the landing gear assembly onto the

fuselage. Align it parallel to all other

components. It should be 2-1/32” from the front

end of the fuselage. Fig 25

Figure 25

32. Install four 4.840” carbon wing struts. Make

sure struts are fully inserted into the wing before

gluing with thin CA. Fig 24

33. Install two 2.675” front struts. Make sure struts

are fully inserted before gluing with thin CA.

Fig 25

34. Install upper wing,making sure struts are fully

inserted into the wing before gluing with thin

CA. Also install the carbon cross struts. Fig 26

36. Install motor mount. The kit includes mounts to

accommodate different motor types. Fig. 27

37. Install wheels, tail skid, control horns, pushrods

38. The model should be balanced at the CG 1.2”

back from the top wing spar. Incidence must be

adjusted to “0” using the adjustable rear wing

saddle P12.

Control throws: Rudder Full deflection

Elevator 20 degrees

Ailerons 20 degrees

More extreme throws can be used as desired.
