Caution: This model is not a toy!

If you do not have experience with such motorised models, please ask experienced

model flyers for help. If the model is operated without the proper knowledge, injuries

can result. Think of your health and safety!

Important! Before you start the assembly!

Even if you have already built lots of RC models, read these instructions through

carefully and check the parts in the kit for completeness. A lot of effort was made to

keep things as simple as possible without neglecting safety.

Note on the covering sheet

Because of strong changes in the weather (temperature, humidity, et cetera), small

creases can appear in the covering sheet. In rare cases, the components can even

be warped. This lies in the nature of wood construction with covering sheet. This can

be corrected as follows using a hair dryer like those available to model builders.

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

Warped area: Gently twist the area against the direction of warping and smooth

it out again using hot air.

Caution! Never use more heat than is absolutely necessary. If the iron is too hot, the

covering sheet will melt and holes will form.

The extensively pre-fabricated model can be built in a very short time. However, the

remaining steps are important and have to be carried out with care. Doing this work

properly determines whether the model will have the prescribed rigidity and flight

characteristics; so please work slowly and precisely!

When putting screws into wood, apply a little casein glue to keep them from

loosening: Squirt casein glue into the drill hole and screw in the screw.

Tips on building the model

•Before assembling the model, it is essential to read the construction diagram and

the instructions all the way through. When using tools, be aware of the possible

dangers.

•Use only suitable cables that are adequate for the electrical currents that occur

during operation.

•Set up the receiver aerial as far as possible away from the cables carrying the

operating current (at least 3 cm).

•Clean residual grease from all connections that are to be glued. This could be

done, for example, through sanding and using a non-relubricating cleaning

solution. The same goes for the surfaces to be painted, in order to make sure that

the paint sticks. Before gluing parts, always roughen the corresponding surfaces

(especially for GFR fuselages) carefully with fine sandpaper and de-grease them

thoroughly, for example with acetone. Otherwise, adequate adhesion is not

assured.

Assembling the JODEL ROBIN DR 400/180

Wings with undercarriage and tailplane

Do not begin the assembly until you have familiarised yourself with the components

and the individual construction stages. If you are not satisfied with any component,

report it to your retailer before you start the construction process.

Using sandpaper or sanding block, sand the control horns on the surfaces to be

glued in order to achieve an adequate connection when gluing.

As seen in the photos, remove the covering from the slots for the GRP control horns,

put a dab of glue into the slot, and push the control horn in until it stops.

Wipe off any excess glue.

Until the glue hardens, the servos

are installed in the corresponding mounts and fastened into the wing or tailplane.

Extend the servo cables using the corresponding extension cable and make sure

they can not come loose, for example with a piece of heat-shrink tubing or a drop of

fast-setting glue. Using the RC system, bring the servos into centre position and

install the servo levers.

Fasten the servo to the attachment block using the screws included with the servos.

To do so, insert the rubber grommets with the brass hollow rivets, collar downward,

into the servo flange. For drilling Ø 1.5 mm holes for the screws, the hollow rivets can

be used as a drilling template. To make it easier to push them in,

the hollow rivets can be placed onto a screwdriver of the proper size.

Now the servo cables are pulled into the wing halves and tailplane halves using a

thread. Just behind the connector, tie the thread to the cable and pull it in so that it

comes out the wing root.

With servo and rudder in neutral position, screw together the lengths of the rods for

the ailerons, landing flaps, and elevators, adjust them; then use thread lock fluid

(such as UHU schraubensicher) and lock nuts to secure them against loosening.

As shown in the photo, secure the hinges for the landing flaps using heat-shrink

tubing.

On the underside of the wings, there are markings indicating where the flap hinges

can be screwed in. Make sure that the axes of rotation of the hinges are all the same

distance from the trailing edge of the wing.

As shown in the photo at the left, use one screw to

fix the hinges in place; then use an engineer's square or geometric protractor for

alignment with the trailing edge, and fasten the hinges with two more screws. Now

push the landing flaps up against the wings and tape them in place temporarily; align

them, and fasten them with screws.

Screw the pushrods together as shown in the following photos.

In the next step, use your fingers to feel for the slot for the landing gear wire, and

melt it free with a hot soldering iron.

Now place the leg of the undercarriage into the slot to mark the attachment points of

the two tabs and the wheel fairing support block.

Drill pilot-holes in the wings for the retaining screws; then screw the tabs and the

wheel fairing support block to the wing.

For the wire undercarriage units you will need to file away the inside of the two

fairings a bit. When installing the fairings, make sure that the wheel covers face

outwards. 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. Loosen the grubscrew at the front of the shock absorbing strut, loosen, and

push the wheel axle to the other side. Re-tighten the grubscrew.

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

centreline.

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

As shown in the following photographs, fit the two LEDs in the white plastic holder

and secure them with a little UHU Power all-purpose adhesive.

Trim the outside edges of the plastic holder so that it fits in the recess in the wing.

Route the connecting leads of the two diodes to the root rib using a piece of thread,

and run they out of the drilled access hole. The plastic holder can now be glued in

using UHU Power all-purpose adhesive. Fix the glazing to the wing using clear

adhesive tape.

Fuselage with tailplane, vertical stabiliser, and nose gear

The vertical stabiliser can either be glued permanently to the fuselage or fastened

removably using four screws.

Only the fastening of the vertical stabiliser using screws is described.

Before putting in the screws, the two extension cables for the two elevator servos

must be pulled into the fuselage.

Use the Ø 12 mm aluminium tube to put the horizontal stabiliser onto the fuselage to

test the fit; the two extension cables must be routed through the openings of the

horizontal stabiliser on the right and left.
