1 Thank you for purchasing the Venturi EVO FPV wing The Venturi FPV is designed for First Person Viewing (FPV) and for UAV/Drone experimentation. There is a power system for this model, see the website for details. As well as this power system you will require: 2 x Standard size servos 43g (standard size) 1 x Long range receiver 1 x Lipo battery(s) (2x 3300mah 3S or 4S 11.1v) 1 x connectors set 1 x Transmitter capable of elevon mixing or mixing module 1 x Lipo compatible charger See website for power system details HOT GLUE GUN UHU POR CRITICAL DATA Venturi EVO 2 FPV CENTRE OF GRAVITY 185 +/-10mm BACK FROM THE FOAM WING LEADING EDGE AT ROOT CA GLUE TARGET FLYING WEIGHT 2000 grams without FPV gear & camera with 2 x 3300mah 4S batteries PVA WOOD GLUE

2 STEP 1 Fuselage assembly Carefully cut the tabs holding the parts on to the sheets of ply. Sand off the remaining tab and lightly bevel off the interlocking part of the piece, to help in assembly. STEP 2 Glue the 2 motor plates together using wood glue or UHU por, be careful to align them accurately, allow to dry Tabs Sand the tabs down as shown

3 Once you have trimmed and sanded the ply parts, its ready for assembly. Lay the fuselage side on a flat surface and assemble without glue. Once you have trimmed and sanded the ply parts, its ready for assembly. Lay the fuselage side on a flat surface and assemble without glue.

4 90 degrees IMPORTANT: check that the fuselage sides are aligned here before using glue You can use thin CA glue to hold the assembly together step by step. Soak the CA glue into the tab joints, use a weight to hold it in position. When you are happy that the fuselage is correct and aligned, run a bead of wood glue or UHU por around all the joint lines. Note! Put aside to dry / set Why not spray the fuselage with some acrylic car paint, black looks good

5 Wing Preparation Guide lines All FPV installations are different, but we offer some guide lines for the Venturi EVO 2 GPS Video TX There are some pre-cut slots in the fuselage to run cables from the wing to the autopilot /osd etc Using the spar holes, hold the fuselage against the wing and mark on the wing where these slots line up. Then you can cut slots in the wings for the servo, video tx etc cables Cut out the foam to accomodate your chosen servos and FPV gear When you are happy with this, remove the parts and laminate the wing with 72 micron laminate film.

6 Attaching wings to fuselage IMPORTANT! The tube spars are a tight fit in the wings, to help assembly, use insert the spars into the wings with twisting action making them easier to insert when you come to assemble the wings. Mark each spar at the centre point Slide the two carbon tube spars through the fuselage, short on at the front. Use a small amount of glue to hold the spars in place Run a small bead of UHU Por up each spar, Slide the wing down the spars Mark out where the wing will join the fuselage and use plenty of glue. Check the front and back of the wings for alignment. repeat for the other wing Bench

7 Elevon Preparation Using a sanding block, chamfer the leading edge of the Balsa elevons. Remember they are handed left & Right, Cover using just coloured tape/ L e a d i n g E d g e Using 25mm strapping tape or cutting 50mm tape down the centre, attach the elevons. 1. Run a strip down the back edge of one side of the wing, half on half off, offer up the elevon at a downward angle as show, attach it to the tape. 2. Angle the elevon up and apply the tape to the bottom part of the hinge. Ensure free movement. 3. Set the elevon 3mm short of the wing s end to stop it rubbing against the correx wing tip.

8 Foam Parts Front Hatch Plate optional Hatch Rear Hatch Plate Rear Cover Upper Nose Lower Fuselage The foam parts installation is best in this sequence 1. Install motor mount & battery velcro straps 2. Glue in lower fuselage 3. Install all of your equipment, like the AP, ESC s Motor etc 4. Glue in rear section 5. Modify the nose section as desired to accommodate your cameras 6. Attach Hatch using tape and velcro 7. Glue on nose section, when all is working correctly You can hinge the hatch using strapping cut some channels out to accommodate the camera cables

9 Motor Mounting Outboard style: quieter, may need more nose weight to balance (CofG)wing Note: Upthrust, this is correct Inboard Style: Noisier, easier to get balance (CofG) Wingtips: Cut some stapping tape, and wrap it around the front section of the wingtip, top and bottom. Feed a strip through the slots and attach top & bottom.
