Caution: this model is not a toy!

If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an experienced

model flyer for help and support. If you attempt to operate the aeroplane without

knowing what you are doing, you could easily injure yourself or somebody else.

Please keep your safety and well-being in mind at all times.

Important: before you start construction

Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right through

these instructions and check that all the kit components are actually present. We

have taken great trouble to keep construction as simple as possible, without making

any compromises in the area of safety.

Note regarding the film covering

Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations

in weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a

slight warp in a component. These minor faults are in the nature of film-covered built-

up wooden structures, and can easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly

used for modelling.

Creases: Blow warm air over the area and rub down with a soft cloth.

Wing warp: Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp,

and apply warm air to remove the creases from the covering.

Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron

is too hot, the film may melt and holes may be formed.

This aeroplane is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However,

the work which you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The

model will only be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks competently - so

please work slowly and accurately.

When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little white

glue to prevent them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into the hole before

fitting the screw.

Notes on building the model

•Before you start building the aircraft it is essential to study the plan and read right

through the instructions. Please bear in mind the dangers inherent in the handling

of tools.

•When preparing wiring, be sure to use cable capable of carrying the currents

which will flow when the model is flying.

•Deploy the receiver aerial as far away as possible from high-current cables (at

least 3 cm).

•Remove all traces of grease from the joint surfaces of components which are to

be glued. A good method is to sand lightly before wiping with a non-greasy liquid

detergent solution. The same applies to surfaces which are to be painted,

otherwise the paint will not adhere permanently. Before gluing any GRP parts,

and GRP fuselages in particular, the joint surfaces must be sanded thoroughly

with fine-grit abrasive paper before de-greasing with a solvent such as acetone.

This is the only method of obtaining durable glued joints involving GRP parts.

Radio control system

The RC system must feature at least five control functions and ten servos. The

transmitter should also include a servo reverse facility.

We particularly recommend MC-22s to MC-24 computer systems. The model is

designed for standard-sized servos.

We recommend the following receiver power supply: two GRAUPNER 5N-5000

NiMH packs, Order No.98903.5, which should be maintained carefully before and

after each flying session. Please note that batteries of this type do not reach full

capacity until they have been charged and discharged (cycled) several times.

You will need four suppressor filters, Order No. 1040, or a folding ferrite ring, Order

No. 98516.1 and four extension leads, Order No. 3935.18, in order to connect the

two aileron servos and two landing flap servos to the receiver, i.e. these leads are

plugged into the receiver permanently.

The following servo leads are required: one extension lead, Order No. 3935.75, for

each aileron servo, one extension lead, Order No. 3935.32 for each landing flap

servo, and one extension lead, Order No. 3935.75, for each elevator servo.

The receiver and receiver batteries should be packed in soft foam for shock

protection.

The model is suitable for standard-sized servos with an output torque of around 50

Ncm.

Adhesives

Fast-setting epoxy, e.g. UHU plus schnellfest, Order No. 962

Slow-setting epoxy, e.g. UHU plus endfest 300, Order No. 950.43

Wood glue, e.g. UHU Holzleim express, Order No. 958.60

UHU hart, e.g. Order No. 534.35

Assembling the JODEL ROBIN DR 400/180

Wing and undercarriage

Please don’t start assembling the model until you have checked the kit components

and the building instructions, and are familiar with the construction procedure. If you

are not happy with any component, kindly return it to your model shop without delay.

Mark a centreline on all the aileron hinges using a pencil, as shown in the photo.

The hinges can now be inserted in the ailerons as far as the pencil lines, and glued in

place. We recommend thick cyano for this: push the hinges into the slots to a depth

of about 1 mm, apply cyano on both sides, then push them in as far as the marked

lines.

When the glue has set hard, insert the projecting hinges into the slots in the wings to

check alignment; you may need to adjust the slots slightly. Now repeat the above

procedure: push the hinges into the wing to a depth of about 1 mm, apply cyano on

both sides, then push the ailerons into place, leaving a gap about 0.5 mm wide at the

hinge line. Check that the ailerons line up neatly with the wingtips.

Fit short pieces of heat-shrink sleeve over the landing flap hinges to prevent the jaws

opening.

Use your fingertips to locate the holes for the aileron horns, and melt the covering

film over them using the tip of a hot soldering iron.

Place the threaded socket in the hole, and remove a disc of film the same size as the

base flange. Assemble the threaded socket, the cheesehead screw, the horn lug and

the nut as shown in the photo. Repeat for the second aileron.

Connect the appropriate extension leads to the aileron and flap servos, and fit heat-

shrink sleeves round the connections to prevent them working loose; alternatively a

drop of cyano can be used. Set the servos to centre from the transmitter before fitting

the output levers on the servo output shafts.

Set the servos to centre by connecting them to the receiving system. The wing-

mounted servos can now be attached to the support blocks using the retaining

screws supplied with them: the first step is to push the rubber grommets into the

servo mounting lugs, followed by the brass tubular spacers, with the flange on the

underside. The spacers are easier to fit if you slip them on a suitable screwdriver first.

Drill 1.5 mm Ø pilot-holes in the support blocks, using the metal spacers as a guide,

then fit the servo retaining screws as shown.

The servo leads can now be pulled through the wing panels using a length of thread:

tie the thread to the servo lead just behind the connector, then pull it through until it

appears at the root rib.

Insert the horns in the holes in the control surfaces and set them to the correct height

(see photo). The horns can now be glued in the holes. These joints must be strong,

and we recommend the use of thickened 24-hour epoxy for durability.

On the underside of the wing you will find marked points indicating the position of the

flap hinges. Note that the pivot axis of all the hinges must be exactly the same

distance from the wing trailing edge. Temporarily fix the hinges to the wing with one

screw, as shown in the left-hand photo, then set the hinge assembly exactly at right-

angles to the wing trailing edge using an engineer’s square or setsquare before fitting

the remaining two screws to secure the hinge to the wing. Now offer up the landing

flaps to the wings and tape them in place temporarily. Fit the retaining screws to fix

the hinges to the flaps.

The aileron and landing flap pushrods are assembled as shown in the following

sequence of photos.

Set the servo and each control surface to neutral, then adjust the length of the

pushrods and apply a drop of UHU thread-lock fluid to prevent them shifting.

The next step is to locate the undercarriage channel in the wings using your

fingertips. Remove the film over the channels using the tip of a hot soldering iron.

Insert the undercarriage leg in the channel prior to marking the position of the two

saddle clamps and the wheel fairing support block.

Drill pilot-holes in the wings to suit the retaining screws, then screw the clamps and

the wheel fairing support block to the wing.

You will need to file away the inside of the two fairings to provide clearance for the

wire undercarriage units. Note that the convex side of the wheel fairings must face

outwards. Loosen the grubscrew in the end face of each spring strut, slip the wheel

axle through the cross-hole, and tighten the grubscrew firmly to clamp the axle. The

wheels can now be attached to the axles using collets and grubscrews. Apply UHU

thread-lock fluid to the grubscrews to prevent them working loose.

The wheels and wheel fairings must be aligned exactly parallel with the fuselage

centreline.

The final stage on the wing is to install the landing searchlight.

Fit the two LEDs in the white plastic holder as shown in the following photographs,

and secure them with a little UHU Kraftkleber.
