See the main robbe catalogue for information on tools and
aids to building.
Sequence of assembly
Before starting construction please study the plans, the illu-
strations and the associated brief instructions, together with
the Parts Lists, so that you have a clear understanding of
each stage of assembly.
The numbering of the Parts Lists is arranged to reflect the
sequence of assembly.
Key to the letters preceding the numbers in the Parts
Lists:
F
= Wing (Flaeche)
R
= Fuselage (Rumpf)
E
= Electric power system
V
= Glow power system (Verbrenner)
H
= Main undercarriage (Hauptfahrwerk)
RC = Receiving system, final work
The model must be built on a perfectly flat building board.
Lay the appropriate plan on the board, tape it down, then
cover it with clear plastic film to prevent the parts sticking
to the drawing.
Paper is vulnerable to temperature fluctuations, with the
result that the plan may differ slightly in size from the pre-
cut and machined parts. If you notice a difference, always
work from the component sizes rather than the plan.
Assembly and operating instructions
These instructions cover the construction of the basic wing
and fuselage structures, followed by the installation of the
power system. When the tail panels are complete, the indi-
vidual model components can be covered, and the main
2
undercarriage and receiving system installed.

We recommend that you install the selected power system
in the bare airframe, i.e. before covering. The components
should then be removed again before the covering is
applied. If you are an experienced modeller you may wish to
deviate from this general guideline.
Cutting stripwood and sheeting panels to size will leave
scrap material; don't throw this away immediately, as you
may need it later for various small parts.
We recommend epoxy, robbe Speed Type 2 cyano-acrylate
("cyano") and fast-setting white glue for the glued joints on
this model; the instructions tell you which adhesive to use
at each stage.
Be sure to read and observe the instructions provided by
the individual adhesive manufacturers.
Allow all glued joints to harden fully before resuming work
on the model.
Directions such as "right-hand" are as seen from the tail
of the model, looking forward.
The Parts Lists
Parts marked "N.I." are not included in the kit.
Model variants
The Charter may be flown with or without ailerons. In the lat-
ter case we recommend that you prepare the ailerons and
then disable them as described in the instructions; this allo-
ws you to connect them at a later date when your flying
skills improve.
For this model you have the choice between an electric
power system and a glowplug motor. Simply skip the stages
which do not apply to your chosen power system.

Radio control system
For this model you will need an RC system with at least four
channels and four servos.
For the electric version you will need an electronic speed
controller with a BEC function, whereas the glow version
requires one additional servo for the throttle.
Before you start construction you should consider carefully
how your receiving system components are to be installed
in the model.
If you wish to install a radio control system other than the
one we recommend, you can still follow the basic arrange-
ment shown, but you may have to make allowance for minor
differences in component sizes.
Before you start work on the model we recommend that you
connect the receiving system, set the transmitter sticks and
trims to centre, and switch the system on. This centres all
the servos.
No.
