PRINTING & ASSEMBLING MANUAL RISE Glider version and Motor/Spoiler upgrade Kit NOTE: Slicing only works with CURA! You can find the STL data at www.planeprint.
PRINTING THE PARTS – PRINTING PROFILES You may wonder why this 3D model is exclusive to CURA? The most important thing with small RC model airplanes is always the size to weight ratio. The lighter a model is, the better its flight characteristics and also the flight time is significantly increased. With our unique design process, we manage to offer weight-relevant parts in a true 1-wall printing process for both the outer skin and the filling.

ASSEMBLING MANUAL Wings assembly – Middle part Cut six short pieces of carbon rod with the knife and use them as dowel pins to accurately glue the wing parts together. The bonding surfaces should be roughened with sandpaper beforehand to achieve a perfect bond. IMPORTANT The carbon tube must NOT be glued! Wing2-right LW_profile3_rise.stl Wing1-right LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l. Carbon rods Ø1,2*30mm medium l. Carbon tube Ø6*1000mm Wing1-left LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l.
Wings assembly – Side parts Wingtip-right LW_profile3_rise.stl Glue the outer wing parts in the same way. medium l. Wing5-right LW_profile3_rise.stl Carbon rods Ø1,2*30mm medium l. Wing4-right LW_profile3_rise.stl Wing3-right LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l. Wing Snap Lock This mechanism allows easy assembly of the wing parts without tools. Insert the parts into the slots provided as far as they will go and check that they engage exactly when the wing parts are assembled before gluing.
Fuselage assembly NOTE To build the thin fuselage sufficiently stable, it is very important that the carbon rods are glued to the LW-PLA over the entire length. Therefore, there are open gaps along the carbon rods on the outer surface of the fuselage. Pour thin CA glue into these gaps along the entire length to create a complete bond between the LW-PLA and the carbon rod. Start with the fuselage 6 part and glue the carbon rods well with thin CA glue.
Fuselage assembly Fuselage5 LW_profile3_rise.stl Then place fuselage 5 on the carbon rods and glue only the two fuselage parts with medium CA glue. STEP 1 Do not forget to roughen all gluing surfaces with sandpaper! medium l. thin STEP 2 Then check that fuselage 5 is aligned straight and run thin CA glue into the gaps along the outer surface to bond the carbon rods to the fuselage along their entire length. Fuselage6 LW_profile3_rise.stl Fuselage6 LW_profile3_rise.stl Fuselage5 LW_profile3_rise.
Fuselage assembly Before gluing fuselage 2 to the fuselage, some PLA parts have to be mounted: Glue the Ø3mm nuts into the wingmount parts and then into the fuselage 2. Push the spacer from the front into the fuselage 2 and glue it well. Wingmount_profile2_rise.stl Fuselage2 LW_profile3_rise.stl Parts_profile1_rise.stl Fuselage3 LW_profile3_rise.stl Spacer medium l. After that, you can glue fuselage 1 and 2.
Fuselage assembly – Glider version Carbon rods Ø1,2*120mm Fuselage1 LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l. Nose LW_profile3_rise.stl Motor version Cut three pieces of carbon rod, adjust the length so that the nose can be pushed up to the fuselage 1. Then push the rods as far as possible into the bowden and glue them in place. Then put the nose on top and glue it. This parts are only required for the Motor/Spoiler upgrade Kit! Carbon rods Ø1,2*120mm Fuselage1 LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l.
Stabilizer assembly Glue the parts of the V-tail together as shown. V-tail2-left LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l. V-tail1-left LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l. V-tail3-left LW_profile3_rise.stl Parts_profile1_rise.stl Installation of the TPU Hinges These spacers ensure the correct gap distance. Don´t remove! First insert the hinge into the movable flap and add a drop of liquid CA adhesive into the gap. Wait for the glue to drain completely, then spray the activator on it.
Wing fastening Wingmount_profile2_rise.stl medium l. medium l. Canopy fastening Insert a 165 mm long carbon rod into the bowden of the cap. To attach it, first insert the front end into the fuselage, push the canopy slightly forward and then insert it into the fuselage at the back. The carbon rod should not be glued. Carbon rod Ø1,2*165mm Canopy LW_profile3_rise.
Servo mounting * Stick the servomount in fuselage 1, push it backwards up to this nub*. The arrow must point forward. The servos must be installed in this way: Servomount_HS5055_profile1_rise.stl Linkage For the linkage of the V-tail we recommend to bend short pieces of steel wire Ø1mm 90 degrees, to glue it to the carbon rod Ø1.2mm (secure it with heat shrink tube). Glue the pin horns (parts_profile1_rise.stl) well as shown here.
This parts are only required for the Motor/Spoiler upgrade Kit! Spoiler assembly Glue the parts of the Spoiler together as shown: Spoiler mount_profile1_rise.stl Spoiler-right LW_profile3_rise.stl medium l. medium l.

The distance between the axes should be exactly 42mm. Steel wire Ø1mm 42 mm medium l. maximum 10 to 11mm Mount the servo as shown: Wing1 spoiler-left LW_profile3_rise.stl Wing1 spoiler-right LW_profile3_rise.
RC components Glider version Lead Battery Receiver Servos Motor version Controller Motor Battery Receiver Servos Launch Hook – Glider version The launch hook is only recommended for experienced pilots, because the wings made of LW-PLA are very soft and must only be loaded very gently! The rear hook should be positioned about 5mm in front of the CG. medium l.
Control Direction Test Turn on the transmitter and connect the battery. When checking the control directions, look at the aircraft from behind. ELEVATOR RUDDER SPOILER 0 % SPOILER 100 % Motor version We recommend that you put the engine on a switch and the spoiler on the gas stick.
SETTINGS FOR FLYING After installing the electronics and setting up the transmitter, check that the control surfaces are aligned correctly. Set the transmitter trim to zero. Align all rudders to zero position. Change the position of the moving parts by changing the length of the linkage from the servo arm to the control horn. In-flight adjustments can be made later with the trim.
Flight timer Flight time will vary depending on the battery size. Expect 5 minutes under normal circumstances; however, it may be possible to fly for much longer. It is a good idea to be conservative with the flight timer until you gain experience with your airplane. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS WINGSPAN 2000 mm/78.
