E-AERO EPP PITTS KIT

From

BP HOBBIES

Parts Included in kit

Thank you for purchasing the BP Hobbies/E-aero EPP Pitts. Please take the time to read through the

instruction manual before beginning the build. If you have had little or no experience working with EPP

foam it requires some patience to work with it. Although the Pitts is not hard to build, it is certainly

different than building a balsa or EPS foam plane. A few things about EPP foam. There are only a few

glues that will stick to EPP. Regular CA, thin, medium and thick will stick well when used with

accelerator. Hot melt glue sticks well but can not be left in a hot car as the high heat will soften the glue.

Epoxies, white glue and foam safe CA do not work on EPP foam. Put a brand new sharp blade in your

hobby knife. Dull knives do not work well with EPP foam. To paint the Pitts we used Krylon brand

indoor/outdoor spray paint and stencils made from card stock.

Step 1

Using hot melt glue or medium CA

glue the rear top section of the fuse

together. If you are using hot melt

glue do not leave the airplane in a hot

car for long periods of time. The heat

will soften the hot glue causing a

glue failure at the joint. I prefer to

use medium CA and accelerator.

Step 2

Hold the two halves together with

tape until the glue sets.

Step 3

Glue the front top section of the fuse

together using medium CA and

kicker.

Step 4

Using medium CA glue the fuse rear

bottom section to one of the sides

making sure that there is a 90 degree

angle between the side and the

bottom.

Step 5

Glue the other fuse side to the rear

bottom piece.

Step 6

Glue the lower front fuse sides

together.

Step 7

Use a little force to pull the two sides

together and hold until the glue sets.

Step 8

It should look like this when

completed.

Step 9

Using ONLY hot melt glue apply a

good amount of it in the grove where

the landing gear wire will be

installed.

Step 10

While the glue is hot force the

landing gear wire into the slot.

Hold the wire in place until the glue

sets.

Step 11

Apply hot melt glue to the landing

gear cover. There are small notches

in the foam piece to aid you in

positioning the two pieces.

Step 12

Put the two pieces together and hold

them until the glue sets.

This is what it should look like when

finished.

Step 13

Bevel the shaded area with a hobby

knife.

Step 14

Bevel the shaded area with a hobby

knife

Step 15

Apply hot melt glue to the shaded

area.

Step 16

Before the hot melt glue sets, place

the landing gear block into the fuse

and hold it until the glue sets.

Step 17

Apply hot melt glue to this area.

Hold them together until the glue

sets.

Step 18

Apply medium CA to the front foam

firewall as shown.

Step 19

Push the firewall in until it is flush

with the fuse sides. Spray the

assembly with accelerator and hold

until the glue sets. Spray the inside

of the fuse and firewall with

accelerator to set the glue.
