You can save 10-15 odd grams by extending the motor wire by soldering to the extension and eliminating the 3.5 mm bullet connector. Apart from this minor weight saving, a solder is more reliable and lossless than a bullet.

@Ujjawal I did something and thank you for you eagle eye. I
had insurance done by putting another heat shrink sleeve(5mm dia) on the joint.

@ Ujjawal I hope on the weight issue we have a average problem.

The Permax 400 motor weight was 75grams and the In-runner's weight is 66grams. So adding the bullet connectors would not make any difference in weight.

Now back to the fuselage build.

Put some glue on the starboard side of the pod and placed the in-runner.
Guided the wires and put a drop of cyano to secure it at various places (see pic below).

After this we go to the port side of the fuselage and apply glue along the fuselage.
Then stick the starboard and port side together.
This is how it looks the finished fuselage.

The Fin/Rudder & Tail plane/Elevator.

Before starting to assemble this, I took a look at the hardware packet.

It had Velcro strips 25x60mm - 3pairs , Canopy locks - 2 pairs , Control horns - 2 nos , Pushrod connector M2 (2mm) - 2 nos and an Allan key size 1.5mm.

Now I had to take both the control horns, one for the elevator and the other for the rudder.
The elevator control horns fitted in to the slot perfectly. I had to cut the T-shaped part of the rudder horn by about 1 mm to fit it into the rudder slot. The holes on the control horn were exact center to the hinge line.

The either sides of the elevator had to be cut to make the control surface functional and had to cut the top portion of the rudder to also make it functional.

The Elevator and Rudder are glued together at a 90deg angle.
Please check this by using a set-square.

Wing Assembly

This is the most easiest part of the Easy Star.
The wing has on either sides has a wing joiner(fiberglass tube 8mm dia) cover.
See picture.

While gluing the covers make sure that you do not get any glue in the center of the channel on either sides i.e the wing side and the cover side where the wing joiner goes in or it would be difficult to slide in the joiner.

Once this is glued properly the wing is ready.

Now its to put the electronics and the decals.
I would finish the decal part first before putting the electronics.

Somewhere on this site someone mentioned FEVIFIX as a suitable glue for construction of Easystar, but I am unable to find this brand on the Pedilite website and also in the local  market . Is it FIVIFIX or is it that I have the wrong name.Help

"Fevi Kwik"  No I am sure it was not this name as the topic was on how to apply glue on all the surfaces in the very short time that cyno glues take to bind. Some one had suggested FEVIFIX  or something like it, this was about 7-10 days ago.
(This glue FEVIFIX takes a longer time to set, and hence was suggested by the person).

Thank you, this was the post I was looking for.
I have an easystar with me for the last 3 months, but I have not been able to decide which glue to use.
Fevikwik and Elfy are available but do you think it is possible to apply a coat on all the surfaces before it sets.I think you have an easy star, how did you do it.
