Raptor 30/50 v2 assembly

This is the end of my manual, there is not much left to finish
the assembly. You can refer to the original manual on page 15,
step 18, to install the main blades. Make sure you glue the blade
grips as described in the addendum (or on the ACE website). Also
that you install them in the right direction. An easy way to tell
is to look at the screws in the blade grip, the head of the
screws should be facing upward. Also the leading edge (the
thicker part) should be in front as viewed from a clockwise
rotation). Also the heat shrink covering on the wood blades need
to be re-shrunk. Use a hair dryer if you don't have a heat gun
and if you have neither you can use steam from boiling water to
shrink the covering. Try to evenly go over the whole length of
the blade, if you stay just in one spot you might split the
covering on the ends.
Step 19: The manual has you mounting the receiver with double-sided
tape, this is rediculous! Believe me, the receiver would much
appreciate it if you mount it with some automotive weatherstrip
tape. I have details on Step 17 on the ARF construction page.
And if you are going to do 3D flying then I highly suggest you
add a bolt to secure the canopy clip. Details of this are on <this page>.
