Buzzard Models OMICRON Bedienungsanleitung
OMICRON
Our latest iteration of precision indoor pattern F3P style design! The omicron was born to approach a goal of advancing the state of
the art in terms of easily attainable performance. The Omicron provides a large fraction of the performance of the best F3P models,
for a small fraction of the effort and cost.
Please read and understand all steps to these instructions before beginning assembly. This plane is not a toy and is
potentially dangerous to operate. Children should not operate this aircraft without adult supervision. To start assembly,
gather the required electronic hardware and building supplies. You will need some foam-safe glues, and optional paint.
Look for the recommended electronic hardware at the end of these instructions and painting tips in that section.
1
Supplies and tools - We like to use the BSI Super Gold Plus to basically glue everything with. It is a medium viscosity foam safe CA
(cyanoacrylate) glue which works well on foam to foam and foam to carbon joints. On these types of materials it really needs to be
accelerated with the BSI Insta-set, or curing can take some time. To install the covering you will need to buy a small can of 3M
super 77 spray adhesive, don’t try other brands, I have not found anything else that is suitable. Other than basic tools, you will want
a good pair of tweezers, and a hobby knife with brand new blades.

Trim Parts - With a sharp hobby knife, remove the extra foam and tabs from all of the parts. Smooth any tabs that are visible when
done.
4
Hinge beveling - Start by beveling the bottom edges of all of the hinges. Use a sharp edge of a table or board to support the foam
while doing this. Fold the hinges open, and place over the corner of the table with the hinge side down. Using 120grit paper, bevel
the corners of the foam just enough to allow the hinges to flex closed at least 45 degrees. Be careful that you do not sand though
the hinge.

Picture of hinge flexed closed to 45 degrees - Flex the control surfaces up and down and verify free movement. Sand more if
necessary to allow easy and free movement. Do the rudder, elevator, and aileron hinges the same way.
6
Empennage assembly - With the elevator and rudder hinges beveled and freely flexing, dry fit the carbon fiber reinforcements in
it’s slots,, and liberally apply a foam safe CA glue with an extender tip. Foam Cure or white craft glue may also be used. Dabb the
excess glue off with a paper towel before it dries. Working on wax paper prevents the parts from sticking to the table.
7
Painting- You can optionally paint now, or after the covering is in place. It is easier to do it now. Basic craft acrylic paint works well if
thinned and brushed on conservatively. Makeup brushes work for bigger areas. Alternatively, airbrushing is the best way to paint,
alcohol or india inks are ideal, the same basic acrylic paint thinned one-to-one with windshield washer fluid works great through
an airbrush. Paint can add a lot of weight, so be careful. Good markers also work well. Make sure to test any paint for compatibility.
8
Assembly - Working on wax paper, glue the right and left wing halves together. Add the 1.2mm carbon mainspar, and the 0.8mm
aileron trailing edge and horn reinforcement. The curved forward aileron reinforcements are 0.5mm carbon. Dry fit the parts and
then glue. Make sure everything is flat as it dries. CA accelerant can be used. Do not apply glue where the aileron horns will go yet.

Aileron Horn Installation - Dry fit the aileron horns before gluing with CA
