E-AERO EPP PITTS KIT
From
BP HOBBIES
Parts Included in kit
Thank you for purchasing the BP Hobbies/E-aero EPP Pitts. Please take the time to read through the
instruction manual before beginning the build. If you have had little or no experience working with EPP
foam it requires some patience to work with it. Although the Pitts is not hard to build, it is certainly
different than building a balsa or EPS foam plane. A few things about EPP foam. There are only a few
glues that will stick to EPP. Regular CA, thin, medium and thick will stick well when used with
accelerator. Hot melt glue sticks well but can not be left in a hot car as the high heat will soften the glue.
Epoxies, white glue and foam safe CA do not work on EPP foam. Put a brand new sharp blade in your
hobby knife. Dull knives do not work well with EPP foam. To paint the Pitts we used Krylon brand
indoor/outdoor spray paint and stencils made from card stock.
You will need these additional items to complete the kit.

2oz bottle of thin CA

Step 1
Using hot melt glue or medium CA
glue the rear top section of the fuse
together. If you are using hot melt
glue do not leave the airplane in a hot
car for long periods of time. The heat
will soften the hot glue causing a
glue failure at the joint. I prefer to
use medium CA and accelerator.
Step 2
Hold the two halves together with
tape until the glue sets.
Step 3
Glue the front top section of the fuse
together using medium CA and
kicker.
Step 4
Using medium CA glue the fuse rear
bottom section to one of the sides
making sure that there is a 90 degree
angle between the side and the
bottom.
Step 5
Glue the other fuse side to the rear
bottom piece.
Step 6
Glue the lower front fuse sides
together.
Step 7
Use a little force to pull the two sides
together and hold until the glue sets.
Step 8
It should look like this when
completed.
Step 9
Using ONLY hot melt glue apply a
good amount of it in the grove where
the landing gear wire will be
installed.
Step 10
While the glue is hot force the
landing gear wire into the slot.
Hold the wire in place until the glue
sets.
Step 11
Apply hot melt glue to the landing
gear cover. There are small notches
in the foam piece to aid you in
positioning the two pieces.
Step 12
Put the two pieces together and hold
them until the glue sets.
This is what it should look like when
finished.
Step 13
Bevel the shaded area with a hobby
knife.
Step 14
Bevel the shaded area with a hobby
knife
Step 15
Apply hot melt glue to the shaded
area.
Step 16
Before the hot melt glue sets, place
the landing gear block into the fuse
and hold it until the glue sets.
Step 17
Apply hot melt glue to this area.
Hold them together until the glue
sets.
Step 18
Apply medium CA to the front foam
firewall as shown.
Step 19
Push the firewall in until it is flush
with the fuse sides. Spray the
assembly with accelerator and hold
until the glue sets. Spray the inside
of the fuse and firewall with
accelerator to set the glue.
