The SZD-21-2B „Kobuz 3“ is originally designed for aerobatic flight. This model is
designed as a thermal glider with scale flight characteristics. This is not a beginner
plane, advanced piloting skills are recommended when flying this model.

Print settings
In case you have to recreate files for your printer, make sure to check the suggested
parameters for every part.
All parts are printed with 230° nozzle temp and 56° bed temp.
All parts are printed with a 0.4mm nozzle.
All parts are printed with 0.25mm layer height.
Wings and cabin are printed with 10% „fast honeycomb“ infill.
Rudder and Wing6 are printed with 5% „fast honeycomb“ infill.
When printing black parts, it is suggested to use a material with high temperature and
UV resistance.

Assembly instructions

Preparations

1.1 Prepare the 4mm rod pieces. 1x 500mm, 1x 650mm, 1x400mm

ca. 70x 40mm (the pieces should be 1-2mm shorter as listed to ensure fit)
1.2 Check all printed parts and make sure all holes have the right
diameter. If not, use a 4-4.2mm drillhead and manualy extend the hole.

Wing assembly

Step 1 : Parts needed: W1-W7, 12x pins per side

1.1 Put all parts together without glueing them to make sure everything
fits. Shorten pins, if they are to long and gaps are forming.

1.2 Apply glue to the pin holes and insert the pins.

1.3 Apply glue to the surface of the wing and attach the next piece.
Make sure no glue is getting into the other holes.

1.4 Repeat for parts W1 to W7. There are no supporting pins for W7,
make sure the pieces are properly alligned.
Repeat for other wing.

Step 2: Parts needed: ailerons, flaps, 1315mm x 1,5mm steelrod (or 525mm
x 1,5mm and 790mm x 1,5mm steelrod) per side.

2.1 Assemble the ailerons and flaps by glueing the parts together. Keep
in mind that they are 2 independant control surfaces.
2.2 Make sure the control surfaces can move freely and do not get
collide with eachother or the wing.
2.3 Attach the control surfaces by putting them into their place and
sliding the steelrod through the hole. ( in case your using two seperate
rods, attach the ailerons first. )

2.4 Secure the rod by applying glue to the end.

Repeat for other wing.

Step 3: Parts needed: 2 x Servos, Printed nut, Servo extension cord

1000mm and 300mm ( I suggest using wire from the spool and soldering
it yourself )

3.1 Remove the pin on the bottom of the servo.

3.2 Attach the servo cord extension. Make sure the

plugs are small enough to fit through to servo tray.
3.3 Make sure your servos are at the 0 position.
Attach the the lever to the servo and glue them into the servo slot.
3.4 Connect the Servo lever to the lever of the control surface.Make
sure that 0° on rudder = 0° on servo.

3.5 Glue the printed Nut to the slot at the

underside of the wing.

Fuselage assembly

Step 1: Parts needed: F1-F8, 24 x pins

1.1 Put all parts together without glueing them to make sure everything
fits. Shorten pins, if they are to long and gaps are forming. ( As seen in
„wing assembly Step 1.1“)
1.2 Assemble F1-F5 as shown in „wing assembly step 1.2-1.3“
1.3 Glue F6 A and B together.
1.4 Glue F6AB into the slot and make sure it is alligned properly.
1.5 Apply glue to the inside edges between F6AB and the other parts to
make sure it is secured properly.
1.6 Continue attaching F7 - F8 as shown in „wing assembly step 1.2-1.3“
1.7 Glue F1B to F1A

Step 2: Parts needed: F9, Vstab

2.1 Glue the idividual Vstab parts together.

2.2 Attach the Vstab to F9 using glue. Make sure to glue it as vertical as
possible.
2.3 Attach F9 to F8 as shown in „wing assembly step 1.2-1.3“

Step 3: Parts needed: Cabin1-2, Glassing1-2, 4 x pins, cabin lock

3.1 Attach Cabin 1 and 2 as shown in „wing assembly step 1.2-1.3“

3.2 Glue the other 2 pins in the holes in the front of Cabin 2

3.3 Make sure the

pins fit into the holes
in F1B. Shorten them
if necessary.

3.4 Glue Glassing 1 and 2 to eachother.

3.5 Glue Glassing12 to Cabin12.
3.6 Glue The cabin lock to F3.

Step 4: Parts needed: Hstab, Elevator, Elevpin, F10, 2 x M5 screws, 2 x M5

nuts, 500mm x 4mm rod, 650mm x 4mm rod.
