Cut outPage 2

Fold paper in half. Take care that the fold is symmetrical. A trick to doing this is to back light the paper and line up the wing panels

Fold paper in half. Take care that the fold is symmetrical. A trick to doing this is to back light the paper and line up the wing panels

Cut the model out using either scissors or a sharp knife. Remember to cut out the white area between the wing and the flaperons. Cut the white dotted line that will form the wing slats.

Folded Model

Cut out fuselage slots and bend tabs

Page 3

Cut out the fuselage wing and vertical stabilizer slots. The wings and Vertical stabilizer will pass through these slots

Cut out fuselage slots

Front Tabs

Bend the two front tabs across the cowling and windscreen in both directions.

STOL CH 701



Folding the vertical stabilizerPage 4

Fold vertical stabilizer forward on both sides of the fuselage.

Folding stabilizer

Folding bottom part of stabilizer

Crease the bottom portion of the vertical stabilizer inward and fold the top portion outward so that the colored part of the top of the stabilizer is showing and the bottom portion is folded inside the top portion.

Moving the vertical stabilizer to the top of the fuselage

Page 5

Fold vertical stabilizer forward and up through the read slot in the fuselage. At the same time pinch the bottom part of the stabilizer together inside the top part.

Folding stabilizer through fuselage slot

Final positioning of the vertical stabilizer

Use your fingernail to flatten out the rear end of the fuselage. Take care that the dorsal fin shows above the fuselage.

Moving the wing to the top of the fuselage

Page 6

Fold both wings along the port side of the fuselage so that the upper portion of the shaded region is aligned with the forward fuselage slot. There should be a small blue triangle above the top of the fuselage.Do same along starboard side.Fold wings along fuselage

Folding the wing

On both wings fold the leading portion, at the front of the shaded region, and the flaperons, from the trailing portion of the shaded area, under the wing.

Fold both wings inside the fuselage and through the forward fuselage slot.

Fold wings through fuselage

Wings fully through the slot

Pull wings completely through the slot..

Installing wing sparPage 8

Cut out wing spar. Fold in half along dotted lines and fold in half again. Place on a piece of tape as shown.

Forming wing spar

Installing spar

Tape spar on top of wing as shown.

STOL CH 701



Horizontal StabilizerPage 9

Bend horizontal stabilizers up against the fuselage. Take care that the leading edge of the stabilizer is bent up approximately 1 mm above the bottom of the fuselage.

Bending up the horizontal stabilizer

Finishing the horizontal stabilizer

Bend out and tape the horizontal stabilizer in the horizontal position.

STOL CH 701



Forming the WingPage 10

Bend the flaperon hangers as shown so that the junkers flaperons are below the wing.

Forming Flaperons

Leading wing edge

Form the leading edge of the wing. Use a sharp straight edge to form the creases. Three creases will give a reasonable curvature. Form the leading edge of the slot in the same manner. Position the slot so that it is just in front of the wing edge.

Wing cross sectionsPage 11

The fully wing cross section should look like this.

Main GearPage 12

Fold the main gear stiffener in the same manner as the wing spar. Place a piece of tape in the stiffener just large enough to span between the wheels. Cut the tape on each side along the fuselage.

Main gear stiffener

Taping stiffener

Wrap the tape around each gear leg front and back. Trim the stiffener to the size of the wheels. Tape over the ends of the wheels.

Completing Fuselage andengine

Page 13

Tape the aft end of the fuselage and vertical stabilizer. Tape cowling and nose wheel in the same manner.

Tape aft end

Engine

Acquire an engine. Two banks of cylinders, i.e. two paper clips, will be needed.
