Brubaker Models WildKard Assembly And Operation Instructions Manual

Text of Brubaker Models WildKard User Guide:

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 12 Remove control horns from their sheet. Slide one base plate onto each control horn. Add some hot glue and insert each one into its slot. Make sure that it is in the TOP of the aileron and pointed FORWARD. Glue a second base plate onto the bottom of each tab that extends through the bottom of the aileron. Put a small bead of glue in the aileron hinge gap and fold the aileron open so the gap is open flat. Scrape excess glue off, being careful to leave only a thin film behind. T

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 18 Glue the control horn in the elevator just as you did for the ailerons. The control horn should be in the TOP of the right hand elevator and pointing forward. Be sure to glue the base plate on the bottom. You are now finished with the canard! The parts pile is growing!

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 26 Lay the fuselage upside down on your bench. Locate the wing in its saddle and center it on the fuselage. Mark the wing at the front and back so you can repeat the location when you glue it. Note that the winglets will need to hang off the edge of the table for some of these procedures. Working on a corner of your bench helps here. Assembly Put beads of glue in these locations. Press the wing in place using your alignment marks to get it straight. Make certain it is straight - crooked aircraft don’t fly well! Gluing on the wing:

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 27 Gluing on the strake: Put glue along the saddle for the strake. Press it in place, making sure that it is correctly aligned and centered. Glue here Now glue the back edge and wipe it with a popsicle stick: Flip the airframe over and glue the back edge of the strake on top, wiping a radius again: Also run a bead of glue along each side where the wing and strake meet the fuselage. Do one side at a time and wipe a nice heavy fillet here:

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 7 Break open the aileron. The connecting paper will become the hinge. Using a popsicle stick, lightly crease the two spar score lines. Flip the wing over and fold the aileron over onto the bottom surface. Cut a 45° bevel on the aileron using the marking line provided. Sand the bevel smooth if necessary. Peel away the paper at the trailing edge of the top skin to the trailing edge bevel mark. You may have to score the paper a bit if it isn’t cut through. Sand this area to a knife edge bevel. Be careful not to sand through the paper on the underneath side. Ailer

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 21 Cut the velcro strip into 3 pieces - 3 ¼”, 1” and ½”. Stick hook side of the 3 ¼” piece on the Battery area, and the hook side of the 1” piece on the Rx area. Save the ½” piece, it will be your hatch hold down. Velcro Hatch Supports Glue the hatch supports here, aligned with the placement marks provided, and centered between the corner channels. Alignment Marks Glue the temporary fuselage former on about 2” in front of the hatch opening. Just use a little glue here; you

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 20 FUSELAGE Getting started! You’ll need these parts: Fuselage * Peel out these areas Begin by breaking open the corners of the fuselage and peeling out the foam strips just as you did before. Next cut out the hatch area by connecting the dotted lines. Cut through from both sides and take the piece out. Be sure to do this after the corners are peeled out.

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 30 Peel out the foam strips scored in the canopy. Fold the sides up and trim off the leading and trailing edges to match the contour of the sides. Glue the channels and fold up the sides. Note that the sides go down beside the bottom part. You are getting good at this by now, aren’t you? CANOPY You will need these two pieces: Peel out these areas: Trim the ends to match the sides: Canopy folds like this: Glue the channels here:

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 25 Strake Peel out the foam on the edges of the strake. Put a small bead of glue in the corner of the channel created. Wrap the paper around the edge on a piece of waxed paper. Press it down. This finishes off the leading edges of the strake. You now have the completed components for your airframe!

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 22 Crease the score marks in the nose area lightly with a popsicle stick. This allows the nose sheet to bend to its contour. FOLDING THE FUSELAGE #1 Fold - Put glue in left channel here (⅓ full) #1 Fold - Glue bead on side of Motor Mount #2 Fold - Put glue in right channel here (⅓ full) Fold #1: Fold #2: Glue and fold the fuselage sides in the sequence shown. Glue is applied in the channel and to the side of the motor mount for each fold. Do not glue the sides to the temporary former, just use it as a guide to set the angles. Hold each side firmly as the glue sets. *Note that right and l

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 2 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Brubaker kit! There are many choices in the model aircraft market. My commitment is to make sure that you end up with an aircraft that you are proud to own and love to fly. This is a KIT. Yes, it will require thought and craftsmanship to build.

I also value your suggestions. Please contact me should you need assistance or have feedback on the model. Contact info: email - [email protected] phone - 661.557.0299 web - http://brubake

• 24 Put glue in both channels on the bottom center section and glue it in between the sides. Try to get it flush with the bottom edge of the sides. Pressing it down on a sheet of waxed paper while the glue cools may be helpful. Repeat the process for the aft bottom tab. Glue the motor mount also in this area. Pressing it down on waxed paper: build it, fly it. (The “fly it” p

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 33 Install the motor with the supplied screws. Check all your connections. Check the motor for correct direction. If necessary switch any two wires on the motor connection to reverse direction. Make sure you put the prop on with the airfoil facing forward. Glue in your servos with hot glue. Bend a Z bend in one end of each 5 ½” inch piece. Bend a L bend in one end of each 3 ½” piece. With the radio on and operating, set the servo arm at 90°. Use a small piece of tape to hold the aileron surfaces at neutral. Reflex the canard elevator down about 3/32” and hold with tape. Put the Z bend end in each servo arm. Slide on a piece o

• 32 Your airframe is ready for graphics and electronics. I like to mask off some graphics and spray paint them lightly on the airframe. Do not apply the paint too heavily as it will disbond the paper from the foam. There are also some posterboard stencils included in your kit. Lightly mist the back of the ones you wish to use with 3m 77 spray adhesive, let dry several m

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 15 Flip the canard over on the bench. Tape the elevators and center section back over the canard, like in the photo. I like blue painter’s tape here because it is not quite as tacky as other tape. Center the elevator joiner wire on the hinge line and mark where each arm will enter the foam of the elevator. Take the 8” section of .062” music wire included in the kit and mark 3/4” from each end. Bend it with pliers to match this sketch. Joiner Wire *Actual Size Melt hole in foam here for wire arm (

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 14 Remove canard from the foam board sheet. Familiarize yourself with the required bevels in the diagram above. Break open the elevators and center trailing section. Cut a 45° bevel on the elevators and peel out the foam strip in the center section area. Also cut a 45° bevel at the leading edge of the lower skin. Peel away the paper from the bevel areas on the upper skins and sand these to a knife edge bevel. Check your work against the diagram, and don’t glue the skins down yet.

• Brubaker Models WildKard, 6 Begin by removing the pieces from the foam board, using a hobby knife to cut the connecting tabs when necessary. Starting with the right wing panel, “break” open the score mark at the leading edge. Do this over the edge of your building board. Leading Edge Score Press Down Here Building Board Edge Fold the wing in half on the score line and cut a 45° bevel on both sides of the fold it opens up. Use a sharp knife and be careful to not cut through the paper in the center; it will become your leading edge. You can sand these bevels a bit with your 180 block if desired. 45 Bev

• 28 Gluing on the Canard: Dry-fit the canard in its saddle. Make some alignment marks so that you can glue it on centered and straight. Note that it goes on with the control horn on the right side of, and pointed to the top of, the fuselage. Glue the canard in place.
