Overview:
The Depron Ezee Flyer is a classic design slow
flyer perfect for indoor flight or outside on very
calm days. The wing design provides for ample lift
and steady slow flight while maintaining
manoeuvrability at slow speeds. The kit is
provided as an airframe only kit allowing you to
incorporate your own receiver and servos or
receiver brick setup.
Skill Level:
This design is suitable for everyone from
beginners to advanced builders and can the
airframe itself can easily be completed in just a
few hours. You will however, need some
experience in setting up RC receivers, as well as
soldering skills to complete the radio gear
installation.
Your kit comes pre-cut and contains the
following sheets of parts.
Cut the parts out carefully with a hobby
knife and sand off any rough parts from
where they have been cut.
Use a small hobby drill or other object to
open up the holes on the wheel hubs just
large enough so that the supplied carbon
rod fits firmly into the hole.
Note: These parts may be made from
Nylon plastic or from wood.
Cut two pieces of carbon 10mm long
from the carbon rod provided. These will
be used for the axels for the
undercarriage.
Gently sand the ends of the axels where
they have been cut with the hobby knife
to remove any burring.
Press in the axels and allow then to
protrude on the side shown here just
about 1mm. A small amount of Epoxy
glue can then be added to the side where
the axel protrudes 1mm to secure it in
place.
Cut two more pieces of carbon rod 60mm
long to use as braces for the
undercarriage.
Glue the undercarriage supports into the
wheel hubs in the groove as shown. You
may wish to use either Epoxy glue or
UHU Pore Expanded Polystyrene Glue to
do this.
Glue the undercarriage supports and
wheel hubs into the wheel struts as
shown here
Slide the wheels onto the axels as shown
here. Then cut a V shape into the wheel
cover pieces and glue them to the axels.
Be careful not to get any glue on the axel
near the wheel. Place some pins through
both the covers and the back piece to
hold the covers in place as the glue dries.
OPTIONAL
You may wish to use some scrap pieces of
Depron foam to make top covers for the
wheels as shown here. Use more pins to
hold them in place as they dry.
Cut away a small part of the edge of the
foam near where the control surfaces
hinge to allow them to swing more to
that side.
Another method is to fold the surfaces
back carefully to 90 degrees and then
sand the edges.
Gently press in the gearbox to the
gearbox frame. This is a tight fit so take
your time and work it in slowly.
Glue the gearbox into the gearbox frame
with epoxy glue being careful not to get
aby on the gears.
Also take this opportunity to solder the
extensions onto the motor wires.
Start building the fuselage. Glue in place
the top rear deck as well as the bottom
plate.
NOTE: The two parts to the bottom of the
picture are not attached yet. These are
the fuselage vertical spacer as well as the
top plate. The Fuselage vertical spacer is
glued in after the wing is inserted and the
top plate is glued in after the radio gear
and servos are set up.
Use pins to secure the parts and to make
the parts glue along the curved surface.
Glue the opposite side of the fuselage in
place as well.
Feed the wings through the fuselage
sides. On the wing the round hole goes
toward the back. Feed the wings through
a bit at a time and work from side to side
on the fuselage to slide them along the
wing. Take your time and work bit by bit
so as not to break the fuselage sides.
Measure the wings front and back on
each side to ensure that the wing is
exactly in the centre of the fuselage.
Glue the wings in place.
Glue in place the fuselage upright which
locks into the notch in the rear of the
wing.
Glue the gearbox mount in place as
shown here.
Glue the tailplanes in place.
Note: The horizontal stabiliser has the
groove cut out on the bottom –not the
top. This allows the control surface to
move more in the upward deflection as
needed.
Glue the wheel struts in place and secure
with pins to dry.
Sand a “very slight” bevel on the end of
the wings sloping to the upper surface
side. And also do the same on the wing
tips. This allows these pieces to fit
together flush for gluing. Don’t make the
bevel at too steep an angle as the wing
tips should only be angled up at about 30
degrees to the horizontal.
Glue in place the wing tip sections.
When using UHU Por Expanded Polystyrene
glue, “less is more”. If you put too much glue
on each surface they will not stick instantly
to each other when brought together.
Use the smallest amount just to cover the
surface and scrape off any extra. Apply the glue
to both surfaces. Allow to fully dry before
bringing the surfaces together.
Shown here is how to glue in the top front
plate. This is usually done after installing
your radio gear.
Attach the propeller using a pair of long
tip pliers. Do not press the propeller onto
the shaft. Instead, place the propeller
(the correct way up) flat on the table. Use
the pliers to grip the shaft near the gear
and press the shaft into the propeller
with the pliers.
This video explains the best
method to press the propeller
onto the shaft of the geardrive
without bending the geardrive
shaft.
Congratulations, your plane airframe is now complete and ready for you to install you desired radio gear.
Use that provided sandpaper to give all the edges a careful sand and round them for a better look.
Balance Point: The optimal balance point is 36mm from the leading edge of the wing.
The battery mounts attach to the bottom
of the fuselage. However these may not
be the right size for your battery. You
may prefer to use the supplied VELCRO®
Brand dots instead to secure the battery.
In any case the battery is the last thing to
be attached as it’s position is used to
adjust the centre of balance.
Glue the tail skid in place.
Also glue in the control horns.
