GRAPHITE2 is designed for experienced pilots. Exceptional quality, computer modeling, careful work
on aerodynamics, construction designed to combine the extraordinary high strength with minimum weight
gives you the feeling of pure pleasure.
This model can be successfully used for different flying types. You can use it as a highest quality glider
for slope and termic on one hand and as an electric HOTLINER.
The experience of previous version helped us to get exceptional controllability and flying stability of the
model at critically low speed (e.g. at the landing). This is possible thanks to the flaps area increase, adding
of the transversal V angle of the wing central panel and the new V-form tail, designed by Dr. Drella.
A slight increase of the transversal V angle of the wing allowed to magnify the flying stability and helps
you to control the model in termic on long distance and also increased the effectiveness of the ruder.
Extraordinary wind penetration will allow you to return from the far distant thermal. A special
construction of the fuselage which redistributes loads from the nose to the back part when tough landing
during the competition. Also, besides the fuselage is strengthened by a layer of unidirectional high
strength carbon.
That's why Graphite2 will completely satisfy the experienced pilots ambitions and will surprise the less
eaperienced pilots with it's stable flying characteristics.

Parts of the set
pic. 2
FUSELAGE - color, gelcoated and laminated in the aluminum mould. It's made of kevlar and carbon and
has a removable nosecone. Its keel for the RC mounting is made of carbon together with the ballast
mounting tube.
WING - color, three-section gel coated and laminated in the aluminium mould has sandwich construction
and is made of the materials according to the version. It has a high-tech carbon spare and joiners. THE
AILERONS and flaps are completely ready and hinged. They also have wipers closing up the slot when
aileron/flap operates.
STABILIZER - color two section gel coated and laminated in the aluminium mould, has sandwich
construction and is made of HEREX and fiberglass. It has a carbon spar and joiners. The elevators are
ready and hinged. They have wipers closing up the slot.
ACCESSORIES - screws, horns, clevis, metal plugs wing pushrods, carbon pushrod for the elevator,
servos covering plates and tow hook.
Non- suplied parts
Controlling equipment: receiver, battary, a switch and also wires, connectors, mounting parts for the
servos, motor, gear, speed controller, battery, spinner, propeller.

Assembling instruction
Please read this instruction to the full before assembling the model.
This instruction is just a recommendation for you. You can assemble the model, choose and combine the
equipment your own favorite way.
Please be careful with the wing and stabilizator surfaces when assembling the model and mounting the
controlling equipment and regulating the model.
ATTENTION!
Any instruments or stiff things may spoil your new model when getting under the
surfaces!
1. Wing
Prepare the wires with connections to install the servos in the wing. Use only high quality wires and
connectors.
pic. 3
Make a hole in the wing to install the central connector (don't make a hole in the wing spar, which is
situated behind the holes for the wing screw).

Make slots for the aileron horns (be careful!! Don't spoil the upper covering).
pic. 5
Insert horn and glue it into the aileron by the cyanoacrylate adhesive (as shown at the picture 5).
Screw flap horns in deep as possible.

accelerator for faster gluing!
Before mounting the servos move the servo horns to the neutral position as shown at the picture 6.
ATTENTION!
After fixing the servos you can not screw out the servo horns. Regulate the horns to the
neutral position before gluing the servos into the wing.
Mount the servos into the wing by the special units for the Volz Micro Maxx servos mounting or glue
them with epoxy.
If gluing with epoxy pay attention to the moving parts isolation. Don't let the glue flow in between the
moving and fixed parts of the construction.
WARNING!
If your servos can't stand high loads you can face a controlling surfaces flatter, which
may cause your model crash.
Use only high quality servos for your model:
- MPX Micro Speed Digi or JR DS368 for the flaps
- MPX FL Digi or JR DS368 for the ailerons

After the epoxy polymerization regulate the length of the ailerons and flaps rods. Bend the flaps rods up
as shown at the picture 8, to avoid their touching the fixed parts when moving.

Be careful: the plugs are to be screwed to the rods tightly to avoid their free motion.
Cover the servo well by the servo plate using the double sided tape. Work up and glue the small upper
well by the cyanoacrylate adhesive.

Tape wing tips before flying!

2. STABILIZER
The stabilizer is completely ready and doesn't need working up. Screw in the horns into the holes and fix
them together with the balls by the cyanoacrylate adhesive.

Tape stabilizer to fuselage before flying!
3. FUSELAGE

Think over the positions for the servo, the receiver and the accumulator in the fuselage attentively or use
our recommended positioning.

Glue the plywood bars for servos mounting into the slots. The back slot is wider to make it possible to
increase the window if you use bigger servos (max size - 16mm thick e.g. MPX Micro Speed Digi).
Cut the height of the plywood bars to get a 1mm space between the servo horn and the back surface of the
nearby servo to fix the plug. Pay attention that the center of the tongue is to be situated between the
maximum outstanding both servos parts. Screw the servos and check that they don't contact the nose cone.

Solder the accumulators in pairs. Solder the wire through the tongue and fix the accumulators by the
thermo film. Glue the accumulators in the thermo film to the tongue by the cyanoacrylate adhesive.

Make the needful size hole in the fuselage to mount the tow hook (as shown at the picture 18). For better
adhesiveness sand the inner part of the fuselage by the sanded paper in the gluing spot.
Glue in the tow hook unit with the epoxy.
After the epoxy polymerization cut the part of the tow hook unit flush with fuselage.
Screw the tow hook.
pic. 19
Sand the tongue gluing spots inside the fuselage by the sanded paper. Paste the epoxy on to the tongue in
the spots shown with arrow at the picture 19 and 23, and glue it into the fuselage.
Wipe out the extra epoxy. Check the tongue gluing depth by putting the nose cone on. Put off the nose
cone and check if the tongue and fuselage gluing axis coincide. Wipe the extra epoxy. Fix the tongue with
the glue tape untill the epoxy polymerization.
pic. 20
Make a hole in the fuselage to glue the pushrods pipes as shown at the picture.
Glue the pushrod tip to one side of each rod and screw the ball tips on.
Fix the pipes together in two spots by the glue tape. Put the rods into the pipes and then put them into the
fuselage. The pipes are to end at the same point where the stabilizer joiner is. Press the pipes to the lower
part of the fuselage and glue them by the cyanoacrylate adhesive through the hole in the fuselage.
