NEMESIS-114 Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION.

Thank you for choosing the NEMESIS ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The NEMESIS was

designedwiththeintermediate/advanced sportflyer inmind. Itis a scale airplane whichis easyto

fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make it

stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find

thatmostoftheworkhasbeendoneforyoualready. Themotormounthasbeenfittedandthehinges

are pre-installed . Flying the NEMESIS is simply a joy.

This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this

NOTE: To avoid scratching your new aero-

workbench with an old towel. Keep a

couple of jars or bowls handy to hold

the small parts after you open the

bags.

Pleasetrialfitallparts.Makesureyou

have the correct parts and that they

fit and are aligned properly before

gluing! This will ensure proper as-

sembly as the NEMESIS is made

from natural materials and minor ad-

justments may have to be made.

The paint and plastic parts used in

this kit are fuel proof. However, they

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2)Removeeach hinge fromthewing panel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing

panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing

panel. This will help ensure an equal amount

ofhingeison either sideofthehinge line when

the aileron is mounted to the aileron.

HINGING THE AILERONS.

3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

against the wing panel.A gap of 1/64” or less

shouldbe maintained betweenthe wingpanel

andaileron.

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are

prehinged with hinges installed, but the

hinges are not glued in place. It is

imperativethat youproperly adhere the

hingesin placeper thesteps that follow

using a high-quality thin C/A glue.

Note:

4)Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

aileronsfrontsurfaceshould lightly contactthe

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the

hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less

will be maintained throughout the lengh of the

aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

Note: The hinge is constructed of a special

material that allows the C/A to wick or

penetrateanddistribute throughout the

hinge, securely bonding it to the wood

structureof the wingpanel andaileron.

8)Afterbothailerons are securelyhinged,

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully

applying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

5)Turn the wing panel over anddeflect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,makingsurethatthe C/A penetrates into

both the aileron and wing panel.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel, remove anyexcess C/A gluethat

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhinge area.

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube

up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.

1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut

off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes

leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the

stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.

Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to

permenently set the angle of the vent tube.

4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the

tank. It may be necessary to remove some of

the flashing around the tank opening using a

modeling knife. If flashing is present, make

sure none falls into the tank.

Venttube. Fuel pick up tube.

Fuel fill tube.

5) With the stopper assembly in place,

the weighted pick-up should rest away from

therear of thetank and move freely insidethe

tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just

below the top of the tank. It should not touch

the top of the tank.

6) When satisfied with the alignment of

the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm

machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-

pands and seals the tank opening. Do not

overtighten the assembly as this could cause

the tank to split.

You should mark which tube is the vent

and which is the fuel pickup when you

attach fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper.

Once the tank is installed inside the fuselage,

it may be difficult to determine which is which.

Important: When the stopper assembly is in-

stalled in the tank, the top of the vent tube

should rest just below the top surface of the

tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.
