Notes on building the model

• This model is not intended for the beginner to modelling, and for this reason the instructions do not cover

every single step of construction, as we assume that the experienced model builder will be familiar with

these standard techniques.

• We recommend that you visit the Internet website www.micromagic-rc-segeln.de for the latest information

on assembling and setting up the model.

• If you do not understand the technical terms relating to sailing boats, you can download a sketch showing

the basic terminology from the Internet site mentioned above.

• Before you start building the boat, please take the time to study the plan and read right through the

instructions, referring constantly to the Parts List. In general terms the instructions and parts list reflect the

sequence of assembly.

• The laser-cut wooden components are retained in their sheets by small lugs. Cut them through from both

sides using a sharp knife, then break the parts away from the waste material.

• All the laser-cut parts have a black outline caused by the cutting process. You can easily sand this off if

you wish.

• The wooden internal parts for the hull are accurately pre-cut, but it is still important to trim them to match

the shape of the hull and deck precisely. If the bulkheads are a tight fit, they will show through on the

outside of the hull, so it is important to trim the parts as carefully and as accurately as you can.

• TIP: the rigging cord is easier to thread through small holes and openings if you first apply a drop of cyano

to the end to harden it, then cut off the frayed extremity.

• Compare the laser-cut parts with the sketches at the end of these instructions to help you identify them

and assign the part numbers.

• Wooden parts which have been coated with GLATTFIX sanding sealer cannot be glued satisfactorily using

UHU acrylit or STABILIT express, so keep the sealer away from the joint areas. You should also avoid

smearing excess adhesive onto the model’s surfaces, as this will often prevent paint adhering properly.

This applies in particular when you are gluing the vacuum-moulded plastic parts.

• Please bear in mind that many tools can be dangerous if misused or handled carelessly.

• Deploy the receiver aerial as high up in the hull as possible. Reception will be very poor if it is positioned

below the waterline, and effective range will be greatly reduced.

• It is important to clean the joint surfaces carefully before gluing parts together. This is best done by

sanding lightly, followed by wiping with a non-greasy liquid detergent or methylated spirit (“meths”). The

same applies to all surfaces which are to be painted, as this improves the paint’s adhesion considerably.

• Recommended adhesives for joining particular materials:

Material - material Suitable adhesives

Metal - metal Cyano-acrylate, UHU plus

ABS - wood Cyano-acrylate, UHU acrylit

ABS - ABS Cyano-acrylate, UHU acrylit, UHU plast spezial

ABS - metal Cyano-acrylate, UHU acrylit

Wood - wood Cyano-acrylate, UHU hart, white glue

Wood - metal Stabilit express

Read the instructions supplied with the adhesives. Be sure to observe any special notes in the instructions regarding particular

adhesives. If you are using acetone, methylated spirits or any other solvent as a cleaning agent, special safety measures are

necessary. Read the instructions supplied with these materials.
