General

The AMIGO V model is a classical Graupner airplane model that achieves

challenging flight performance. It is particularly characterized by a low airspeed and

best thermal airing properties. The design was based on the version AMIGO II from

1966. The wing and tail unit adopted are exactly like the original ones. The model

can start with a rubber-system, but it can optionally be flown with a motor set as a

motor glider. The construction of the model requires manual modelling skills and

should only be carried out or supported by experienced model builders.

Building instructions

Before starting the construction, please consult the building instructions together with

the building plan, so that you can get an overview of the sequence of the assembly.

Group the prepared components, tools and adhesives for a construction stage.

Remove the individual wood parts with the balsa cutter from the boards, if necessary

refine, pierce and sand them accordingly. When assembling, always pay attention to

a clean, smooth surface. Unless otherwise specified, use UHU-hard as an adhesive,

wipe off excess adhesive with absorbing paper. If necessary, fix the components with

fixing needles or adhesive tape until the adhesive has hardened.

Fuselage and rudder

Lay the building plan 1 on the building board and cover the area of the fuselage side

with a clear plastic film so that the components do not stick to the plan. Glue the right

side of the fuselage (1 and 2), stuck together with the drawing of the construction

plan. Glue the fuselage belt (3) exactly flush with the outer edge of part (1 and 2).

The left side of the fuselage must also be glued to the building plan. It is important to

note that the left side of the fuselage has to be removed from the base again so that

the back fuselage belt can be glued.

The prepared left side of the fuselage can now be fitted and glued. Make sure that

the two sides of the fuselage coincide with each other. Using weights, as shown in

the sketch, to keep the parts together until the adhesive is hard.

The illustration shows the front fuselage area; glue the ribs (7) and (8) as well as the

reinforcement (9) as shown in the figure. Be careful; make sure the fuselage is

symmetrical. To check the fuselage on the building plan, lay the fuselage facing to

you. Fix the components with the needles or adhesive tape until the adhesive is hard.

Grind the upper side of the fuselage with a sanding pad, then glue the parts (10).

Install the pushrod outer tubes (11). Use the pushrod inner tube to check the smooth

operation of the pushrods. Now glue the installed pushrod outer tubes with the

fuselage, use UHU Kraftkleber superstrong or instant cyano glue.

The sketch shows the glued-on fuselage bottom parts (12) to (14), before the gluing

of the fuselage sand again with a grinding block.

Glue the molded part (15), sand the edge of the fuselage and glue the fuselage head

(16). Use a special nut (17) to glue the tail plane support (18).

Glue the rudder made of parts (19) to (21) using cyano adhesive, please note the

section D-D on the construction plan sheet 1 and do not use an activator spray. Grind

the rudder according to section D-D and check that the rudder is easy to move. Insert

the finished rudder first into the fuselage. Check the fuselage from the front to see if it

fits exactly vertically, then glue it in place.

Fasten the parts (22) and (23) to the fuselage and glue them together. Glue the pin

(6a) into the rib (6). Glue the upper part of the magnetic lock (25) into the part (22),

press the metal tabs flat. Remove the cab frame from the fuselage and sand it. Glue

the cab cover (24) with UHU Kraftkleber superstrong and cut off the protruding

edges. Press the cab hood with the lower part of (25) on the fuselage. If everything

fits together, glue the lower part of (25) (together with the cabin cover). Apply

adhesive tape between the two parts (25) so that they do not stick together. Form the

fuselage using a balsa plane and a sanding block according to sections A-A, B-B and

C-C. After covering the model, glue the dowels (96) in place with a cyano adhesive.

Elevator

Lay the building plan 1 on the building surface and cover the area of the tail plane

with a clear plastic film so that the components do not stick to the plan.
