  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 3 Covering Material – Your airplane is covered in genuine Oracover covering material. If you ever need to purchase additional covering, Ultracote brand covering is an exact match. Removing covering – Use a new sharp blade in your hobby knife when removing covering over the access holes in the airplane. You can also use a hot soldering iron, or a “hot knife” to remove covering if desired. Note that covering material cuts easily, but rapidly dulls knife blades. To achieve clean cuts, change the blade often. Remove the covering over the access holes in the fuselage as shown: Remove covering for the horizontal stabilizer, and for th

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 4 Remove covering on the bottom of the fuselage as shown for motor/battery cool air exit: Assemble the wheel onto the aluminum wheel axles, fix with wheel collar, and slide axle assembly into wheel pant as shown. Assemble axle, wheel and pant onto landing gear leg as shown. Note that the carbon gear has a “front” and “back” orientation, check the gear against the fuselage to find the “front” side. Slide the axle thread through the gear leg. Apply locking nut. NOTE – The nut is self-locking. It will not “spin” onto the axle thread easily. You will ne

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 5 When both wheel/axle/pant assemblies are fixed onto the gear legs, assemble the gear onto the fuselage as shown. The screws used are 2 of the shorter black allen-head 3MM screws. Use loctite on these screws. Locate the rudder, the double-sided rudder control horn, and the tail-wheel wire as shown. Open the slots in the covering on the rudder for the horn and wire as shown. Using thick CA glue, glue the horn and wire into the rudder as shown.

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 6 Your model uses pull-pull cables to actuate the rudder. Please examine the pull-pull system assembly diagram closely: Start the pull-pull installation by screwing the ball links onto the pull wire ends 5 to 6 threads. The cables are already run through the fuselage for you. After you crimp the crimp sleeves onto the wire, place a small drop of thin CA glue on the crimped joint. Assemble both the right and left cable ends in the rear of the plane as shown. Fit the rudder onto the fuselage and glue the hinges using 2 large drops of thin CA glue p

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 7 Using a 2mm Phillips screw, washer, and nut, attach the ball joint to the rudder horn. Do this on both sides of the rudder. Use a drop of thick CA glue, as shown in the pull-pull diagram, to lock the 2mm nut on the bottom of the rudder control horns after tightening. Install the rudder servo into the fuselage as shown Assemble the dual-sided rudder servo arm with two servo adjustors as shown. Please refer to the pull- pull system diagram as needed and note that these adjustors must be free to rotate after installation, so the nuts which retain them should be tightened only until almost snug and then glued with a small drop o

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 8 Use a piece of tape to immobilize the rudder, and make sure the rudder servo is centered. Assemble the cables onto the pull wire ends, crimp, and add a drop of thin CA to the crimp joints. The cables cross once inside the fuselage to form an X shape. It is perfectly fine for the cables to lightly rub against each other. Use the adjustors to set the cable tension. We only want the cables tight enough not to sag. Any tighter and this will cause drag on the servo and rob servo power.

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 9 Install the tailwheel support bracket onto the fuselage with 2 small wood screws and install the tail wheel and collar as shown. Be careful to make sure that the bracket does not cause drag on the rudder and rudder servo. If necessary, you can open the hole in the bracket larger. Locate the carbon wing spar tube and the horizontal stabilizer. Insert both into the fuselage. To help align the horizontal stabilizer to the wing spar tube, it can be helpful to support the fuselage on equal- height supports. In this case, we have used steel paint cans as shown.

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 10 Measure the position of the horizontal stabilizer, front-to-back relative to the wing spar tube and also side- to-side. The horizontal stabilizer should also be pushed forward tightly into its slot in the fuselage. When you are satisfied that the stabilizer is straight, use thin CA glue as shown to attach it. NOTE: We do not remove any covering on the stabilizer. CA glue bonds to covering material very well. Install the elevator half with the elevator joiner rod. Slide the elevator into the stabilizer, make sure it flexes easily at least 45 degrees up and down, and glue with 2 large drops of thin CA on each hinge.

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 11 Without using glue, slide the other elevator onto the joiner rod and into the stabilizer. Check the alignment of the elevators. If there is a misalignment of the elevator tips, you can sand the joiner slot as necessary to correct, but if you have access to a heat gun, a quicker way is to complete the installation of the elevators, then twist the elevators to correct any misalignment, and shrink out any resulting wrinkles in the covering – this locks the elevators permanently into the new orientation. Also, a small to moderate misalignment of the elevators will not affect flight performance. Place several large drops of thick CA glue into the joine

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 12 Attach a 12” inch / 300mm servo extension to the elevator servo. Use heat-shrink tubing or a servo-plug lock on this connection. Install the elevator servo into the fuselage as shown. Install the pushrod adjustor onto the servo arm. As before, do not fully tighten this nut, the adjustor must be able to rotate. Use thick CA glue to lock this nut. After installation, the pushrod may be trimmed to length. NOTE: Again, if you are unsure of the exact length of servo arm necessary, you can leave the adjustor screw unlocked until after you have made sure your servo arm length is correct. Details of this will be covered in the co

  • 13 Mount your brushless motor to the firewall using the 4 long black allen head 3mm screws. 6mm long spacers are included in the kit, use if necessary for proper cowl fit. Loctite these screws. Install your ESC, attach it to the side of the motor box. Install the self-adhesive velcro and velcro strap into the fuselage as shown. For very heavy lipo packs, mult

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 14 The cowl is installed with 4 small wood screws which screw into 4 small square plywood pads at the extreme front of the fuselage. Use small pieces of tape or paper as indicators to show the position of these plywood pads after the cowl is on. Install the canopy hatch (if the canopy hatch is not installed when you fit the cowl, it may be impossible to fit the canopy hatch after the cowl is installed!). You can use a 1/16” or smaller drill bit to drill these holes in the cowling, but the preferred method is to spin a sharp hobby knife b

  • 3D Hobby Shop Velox VR-1, 15 Hinge the ailerons onto the wings using 2 large drops of thin CA on each hinge. Remove the covering over the aileron servo locations and the aileron control horn slots as shown. Install aileron horns into the ailerons using a generous amount of thick CA glue. Assemble the aileron pushrods as you did the elevator pushrod. Attach a 6-8” (200mm) servo extension to each aileron servo. Use heat shrink tubing of a servo plug lock on this connection. Use the included string to pull the servo wire thr

  • 16 Again, if you are not sure of the servo arm length you need, delay locking the adjustor nut so that you can move the adjustor on the arm if necessary. VELOX VR-1 ONLY - Install the SFGs onto the wing tips as shown using 2 large wood screws each. Place the SFG spacers in between the SFGs and the wingtips to space the SFG away from the aileron to avoid interfere
