Assembly

STEP 1
Glue the "lipo_mount" part to "fs2", then glue the
"fs1-nose-fs2-fs3-fs4" parts together using CA glue. You can
insert the barbecue skewers (Ø3x12 mm) into the guiding
holes for each parts to facilitate assembly.

Never spray the accelerator directly onto the CA glue! Spray on

first piece and wait for 15 seconds to dry. Then you can aply
glue on the other piece and put the pieces together.

Note: Avoid excessive use of glue.

STEP 2
Install all your electronics to the fuselage. Insert the Ø5x500
mm carbon rod. Prepare the Spinner by glueing
“spinner_base” and “spinner_adaptor” parts together. Then you
can install the "spinner_cap" while assembling propleller.

Don't forget to insert your servos according to the direction as

shown on the model. (There are embossed indicators for servo
direction).

STEP 3
In this step you will need to spray directly onto the glue. Avoid
over spray usage because it weakens adhesion.

Prepare the parts of "wing_r1" - “wing_r2” - “wing_r3”, take a

5mm rod to facilitate assembly and glue the parts together.

Don’t paste glue on the rod! In this step, it's just for guiding.

Be sure the wing parts are sticking in a straight line.

Do the same process is for the left wing.

Release the flaps from the wing by breaking its tiny
connections.

Reassemble the flaps by using the flexible hinge pieces you

prepared and paste the "control_horn" onto the flaps.

STEP 6
Now you can glue the wings and fuselage together.

Don't forget to bring the center position of the servo arms

when mounting wings.

Be sure to test fit before applying CA glue to the wing and

carbon rod.

Control the center of gravity with the marked point under the
wing. 11 mm behind the leading edge.

STEP 7
Install your push rods. Check your servo directions on the
transmitter. Setup your transmitter for EXPO, MİX and Level
settings. Be sure CG is right.

Your FPV Orca is ready to fly!

Flaps should move 7 mm down and 10 mm up for the first

flight. The 35% EXPO setting is good for easy control on all
directions.

You can stick tape to the leading edge and landing

edge to get extra durability.

Enjoy your flight!

Print Guide
We have prepared printer profile on Cura Slicer for you. If you
have a Marlin XYZ type printer, you can print directly with
prepared gcodes as well. If you can’t use the gcodes don't
worry, just follow the instructions...

Download and install CURA Slicer on ultimaker.com.

When you open the program, you can find your own printer
from the printer list but if you are getting error on importing
curaprofile, you will need to create Custom Printer to import a
curaprofile succesfully.

Open the Add Printer window, select Custom FFF printer, type
your printer name and click to the add button for the next step

Print Guide

The settings you should set according to your printer:

- Material Settings.
Printing Temperature
Buildplate Temperature
Flow (wall flow is important!)

- Travel Settings.
Retraction distance
Retraction speed

These settings might need adjustments according to your

printer or filament. You should print a wing part to test your
print quality. If your test print resulted in a succesful way then
you are ready to start the printing process for the rest of the
parts.

Note: 0,2 mm layer height is the best setting for the

Print Quality/Printing Time.

Print Guide

All parts are now pre-routed for Cura but if you want to print
several pieces together, orient the pieces at 45 degrees to the
bed. This way X and Y axis works coordinated and you can get
maximum surface quality. Default Z Seam is Front-Left.
