DPRRC050 - Falcon 46 kit
If you're about to begin your R/C journey and you're looking for a perfect start, grab an expert and ask them to tell you why the Falcon would be the ideal choice. If they know their stuff, they'll talk about the extended moment arm and the in-flight stability that it promotes. They'll mention the high-lift wing section with its undercambered trailing edge that allows slower flying and a reduced stall speed. They'll suggest that you can't go wrong with a trike undercarriage arrangement due to its ease of ground handling and reduced pilot workload during early attempts at taking off. They'll talk about the durability and all-weather capability of a larger balsa-built airframe and its eminent suitability for repair and resulting longevity. They'll admit the practicality of cowl cheeks, an upright engine, easy access and safe starting, and they'll probably confirm that the carefully designed colour scheme is perfectly suited to assist with orientation at a distance, which is crucial when learning. Add to this, easy fuselage access, extended flight times, simple 4-channel control and a quality of build and finish that'll knock your socks off, and herein lies a trainer that won't easily be beaten if learning to fly quickly and confidently is your aim.

Three types of glues are required to assemble kit:
- Water Based Aliphatic Glue (White Glue) - Referred in instructions as Glue
- Cyanoacrylate ( Medium Viscosity) - Referred to as CA
- Two Part Epoxy: (30Min Epoxy for better strength recommended) - Referred to as Epoxy
The model kit is built on a flat building board which can easily accept common pins for holding parts in position. Lay plan flat on building board and cover the plan with wax paper or clear polythene sheet so that parts do not adhere to plan. Before commencing assembly, study plan, kit parts and instructions to develop a general idea of overall fit and sequence of assembling. Laser cut parts are retained in place with breaks, remove those breaks using a balsa knife. Remove parts as and when needed.
