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.
