If you follow these steps in sequence you can easily build your F3X Prodij in just a few evenings of work. Follow along with the photos. I took about 1 1/2 to 2 hours working time per night to complete these steps. If you built in this sequence then you are only held back by the curing time.

Day 1.

• Sand the v tail and glass the joint.
• Mount the blind nuts to the wood mount and epoxy into the fuse.
• Drill the wing for 2 8-32 screws.
• Cut out the aft v tail mount on the fuse.
• Cycle your RX battery.

Day 2.

• Dig out the foam in the L.E. of the aileron and T.E. Of the wing.
• Epoxy and micro balloon the aileron L.E.
• Bolt the wing to the fuse
• Rig the v-tail to the fuse and CA in place.
• Glass the v-tail to the fuse.
• Cycle your RX battery.

Day 3.

• Mount the servos to the tray and drill the fuse for the 2ea. 4-40 screws.
• Make the pushrods for the ailerons and v tail.
• Silicone hinge the ailerons to the wing. Let the silicone cure for 24 hours before working the hinge, Longer is better.
• Attach the v-tail horns to the elevators.
• Paint or cover the v tail.

Day 4.

• Hook up the control rods for the wing and v-tail.
• Balance the model.
• Make a wing template from the core beds.
• Set throws per plans.

• Ready to fly!

First Flight.

• Your battery is charged. (If it's new then you did cycle it 3 x right!)
• Your frequency is clear.
• Surfaces set to plans.
• Check CG, set per plans.
• Ground check with antenna down is A-OK!
• Wind is blowing UP the slope. Someone else has checked the lift.
• Have FUN!
