Introduction Prime RES III model kit
CLM Pro has released a brand new model called Prime RES III.
Prime RES III is an upgraded version of Prime RES II model. The new version has two spoilers and slimmer fu-
selage, completely new wings, which brings it to lower weight and is working with the flow better. The wing
is constantly an elipsis throughout its length which gives the model good stability and easy handling during
flight.
The model is designed to be an all-round model for weather conditions from low thermals to strong winds.
The model is designed and optimized to the last detail and it all comes together perfectly. Most importantly,
when flying and competing, adjustments can be done quickly on the spot (ballast, hook etc.)
All parts are precisely laser-cut from balsa and aero plywood, all carefully selected high-quality materials.
Due to its aerodynamic design and excellent performance, it is very stable and is a joy to fly.
The model is designed and produced for competitions according to FAI F3L RES competition rules.
Compared to the previous version, the new model has several improvements and features, such as:
* wing halves that connect on the sides of the fuselage - V dihedral in the middle of the wing - better stability
* an adjustable hook: you can change the position of the hook (forward-backward) in the field in a second
* ballast is in the center of gravity of the model and is placed between the wings, so it can be easily manipu-
lated from the upper side of the fuselage.
* new carbon tailboom which is longer than in previous versions
* canopy has a mechanics with magnet for easier and faster closing
* other details worked out to the last bit
Kit includes:
- detailed drawing in color
- detailed building manual with step-by-step images
- CNC cut jig from styrofoam (underside of wings) for easier wing glueing
- laser cut ribs and all other required parts
- templates for gluing the first ribs at angles
- carbon tailboom
- carbon tube for mainspar
- set of ballast with a total weight of 90 gr. + 29 gr steel joiner
- carbon wing joiner
- steel wing joiner for more ballast
- adjustable tow hook, including all necessary parts
- rudder horns, u-nuts and various bolts for mounting
- various magnets for the canopy, spoiler, ballast box and other
- bowdens and controls for connecting moving surfaces
- other carbon small parts and accessories
Additional details for each segment of the model can be found below.
Wings:
Due to better stability the wing is designed with multiple segments. The wing is constructed in two pieces
which are connected to the fuselage in the middle.
The wing also has a centerpanel with a dihedral angle in the middle, while the middle panel and tip panels
are angled.
Each of the segments (tip panel, mid panel and center panel) are built with an angle, including the two
halves which are connected to the fuselage with an angle as well.
3
Wings:
The wing is constantly an elipsis throughout its length which gives the model good stability and easy handling
during flight.
The wings are joined with carbon joiner or steel joiners (ballast) and have pre-prepared pins so that every-
thing fits together perfectly.
To ensure even stronger connection and to transfer the load better from middle panels of the wing onto the
center panel, a wing carbon joiner made at an angle is included to connect the wing components together.
Kits also includes a carbon tube which is used as mainspar, and is reinforced with kevlar where wing seg-
ments are connected.
You also get a CNC cut styrofoam jig for easier wing glueing.
The main construction of the wings is built with full balsa ribs, plywood for trailing edge and reinforcements
where needed, while composite materials are used for leading edge and mainspar according to FAI F3 RES
rules.
All parts are laser cut and fit together perfectly. There is minimum rework needed, you only have to assem-
ble everything and bond according to the manual.
The centerpanel comes with a two separated spoilers with built-in magnets so it’s perfectly closed when in
closed position.
Fuselage:
As our every fuselage, this fuselage is also made with aerodinymical shape with smooth transitions. Again, all
parts are laser cut out of balsa and avio plywood.
The fuselage is reinforced on strategic spots with selection on material which gives it more strength.
One of the main features is also adjustable tow hook which is made of several parts which allows you to
change the position of the hook (forward-backward) in the field in a second.
Special attention was also given to the ballast, which is integrated within a box in the pod, with a few reserve
ballast modules, which can be changed in the field literally in seconds without disassembling the model.
The total weight that can be used for the ballast included with the steel joiner (only an option as an increase
in ballast) is 119 grams.
Ballast contains 4 steel squares, dimensions 10x10 mm, length 29mm, each weighing 22.50g, which means a
total of 90g. The steel joiner weighs 29g, so the total is 119g.
Ballast is in the center of gravity of the model and is placed between the wings, so it can be easily manipulat-
ed from the upper side of the fuselage/wing.
The ballast comes with balsa of the same diameter, so if you only want 22.5g of ballast, fill the rest with balsa
so that everything looks nice and compact in the box and doesn’t run away.
Canopy is designed in a way that there is enough space to easily manipulate with all components in the fuse-
lage, allowing the battery to be inserted and connected easily, improving usability on the field.
The canopy has a mechanism with magnet for easier closing and making sure that it will not fall off during
flight.
The tappered carbon tailboom is made from several carbon types. Materials are strategicaly oriented, so the
boom has maximum strength and minimum weight.
4
Tail:
The tail is also designed having aerodynamics in mind. It is a construction of laser cut balsa components.
If needed, there is an option to reinforce the elevator with carbon rectangular rod for stiffness.
Horizontal stab/elevator is tied to the tailboom via pylon which has a built-in nut so the tail can be dissasem-
bled for easier transport.
Vertical fin has pre-prepared carbon pins which are inserted into drilled tailboom and is easily tied to the
fuselage.
Carbon tailboom has predrilled holes for mountint the rudder/elevator which contain carbon rods.

- prepare parts for canopy 1x Pos. 37, 2x Pos. 38, 4x Pos. 40 (Card D-f3)
- sand the rest of the balsa from the upper side of the fuselage to follow the line of the canopy
- to know the magnet polarity, put the on the magnets that are already bonded on the fuselage
- mark the top side of the magnet with a black dot

1.
2.
3.
Step 11.1:
- bond the magnet onto Pos. 37 on such a way that the black dot is visible
1.) - Pos. 37 put on the fuselage to connect the magnets together in the intended place
2.) - the first part of Pos. 37 mark and cut at an angle to fit the fuselage
3.) - Pos. 38 bond with tape on the fuselage on both sides of the side of the canopy

Step 11.2:
- sides of the canopy Pos. 38 to be bonded with the upper part of Pos.37
Note:
- make sure that the canopy does not bond to the fuselage
- bond Pos. 36 in place (Card E-f3)

- bond 3x reinforcements Pos. 40
- test how the canopy fits on the fuselage

Step 12:
- prepare Pos. 41 (Card C-f3) and Pos. 42, 43 and 44 (Card D-f3)
- prepare Pos. 11, 12 and 13 (Card F-f3)
- bond together plywood Pos. 11, 12 and 13
- to know the magnet polarity, put the on the magnets that are already bonded on the fuselage
- mark the top side of the magnet with a black dot
- bond the magnet in Pos. 11

Step 12.1:
- test how the part fits on the fuselage
- on Pos. 11 bond balsa Pos. 41, 42 and 43
- bond balsa Pos. 44 over everything
Note:
- make sure the holes are aligned during bonding

Step 12.2:
- ballast box cover
- preparePos. 18 (Card F-f3) and Pos. 44 (Card D-f3)
- bond together Pos. 18 and 44 and make sure that the holes match
Note:
- do not bond on the fuselage

Step 12.3:
- 2x Pos. 77 of plywood (Card C-3) inserted into the fuselage to match the front holes
Note:
- do not bond Pos. 77
- put the previously prepared and bonded part in place

- when we press the part down, we see that it moves, so we need to glue the reinforcement on the inside

Step 12.4:
- on the front part that goes into the fuselage, bond the reinforcement in Pos. 40 in the corner as in the
picture
- carefully cut off the excess material with a scalper
- finely dry sand the surface to follow the wing profile
Note:
- do not bond Pos. 77

Step 12.5:
- since the M4 screw has a countersunk head, we need to adjust the holes on the ballast cover
- slightly drill a hole so that the head of the screw fits into the hole

Step 13:
- the tail boom has pre-drilled holes at the ends where the rudder with carbon rods can be inserted
- the length of the tail boom is 855 mm
- total length of fuselage + tailboom is 1317 mm
- insert the tail boom into the fuselage and put the rudder on the end of the tail boom into position
Note:
- do not bond, yet

Step 13.1:
- place the fuselage with the rudder on a flat surface and ensure that it stands at a right angle of 90°
- check that the rudder is at exactly 90°
- if necessary, rotate the tail boom to obtain an angle of 90°
- when we have made sure that everything is at the right angle, bond the tailboom to the fuselage

Step 14:
- bond the two balsa blocks around the tailboom at the end of the fuselage which will be reworked later
- prepare Pos. 45 (Card C-f3)

Step 14.1:
- Pos. 45 should be placed on the upper part of the fuselage in its appropriate place
- see that the part is longer than necessary
- through Pos. 45, put the part that covers the ballast box and cut along the edge Pos. 45 to be level
- when the Pos. 45 is cut to the correct dimension, bond it on the fuselage

Step 14.2:
- carefully cut off the excess material with a scalper
- finely dry sand the surface to follow the shape of the fuselage
- fine sanding and refining of the whole fuselage: nose, rear end and edges of the fuselage

Step 14.3:
- in order to strengthen the front part of the fuselage cover, it is necessary to glue the reinforcement
- cut off the end of the balsa on Pos. 44
- cut a piece of plywood 1 mm and bond it on Pos. 44

Step 15:
- making of the elevator pylon: section and detail explained on the drawing
- prepare Pos. H24-1, H24-2, H24-3 and H24-5 (card R-A), 2x H24-4 and H24-6 (card F-Fa) and 2x M3 nuts
- bond with following order
- onto H24-1 bond H24-2, and then H24-3
- bond 2x H-24-4 and install two M3 nuts
- bond H24-5 over the nuts and at the end H24-6
Note:
- take care not to get any adhesive in the thread while bonding the nuts

Step 15.1:
- fasten the pylon onto the elevator with M3 bolts
- a radius needs to be made on the contact face of the bonded stack (pylon) to the tailboom
- roughly cut out the radius on the contact face with a cutter knife

Step 15.2:
- wrap sanding paper around the tailboom and sand the contact face of the pylon to achieve the same
radius
- check how the pylon fits the tailboom
Note:
- pylon is not bonded to the tailboom

Step 15.3:
- apply some tape on the top narrow end of the tailboom
- place the tailboom next to the pylon on the elevator and draw a hole on the upper side where the
bowden for the controls comes
- make the slots with a high rpm rotary tool
Note:
- take care of the rotation of the tailboom

Step 15.4:
- fasten the pylon onto the elevator with M3 bolts

- put the elevator onto the pylon and spacers to also get a leveled elevator
- to get the correct angle of the elevator to the fuselage, measure the distance between the fuselage and
elevator and adjust if needed
- once the distance is exactly the same, bond the pylon to the tailboom
Note:
-make sure the pylon is in correct position on tailboom

Step 15.5:
- apply some tape on the narrow end of the tailboom

- mark where bowden slots for rudder need to be made
- make the slots with a high rpm rotary tool
Note:
- take care of the rotation of the tailboom

Step 16:
- making of the tow hook
- bond nuts M4 and M3 in Pos. Ah3

- Pos. Ah3 bond on Pos. Ah2
- Pos. Ah4 bond over Ah3 with nuts
Note:
- make sure the holes are aligned during bonding

Step 16.1:
- screw the tow hook over the M4 nut and secure it on the other side with glue so that it does not rotate
- position the tow hook in the fuselage and fasten it in position with the M3 screw

Step 16.2:
- the tow hook has a variable stroke, so you can position the hook back and forth as desired by loosening
the M3 screw

Wing tip

Wing tip - building manual
Prework - styrofoam template preparation:
- cover the drawing with transparent tape or self-adhesive foil to protect the drawing from
adhesive for later

Note:
- put pins next to the side of the ribs to prevents them from moving during mainspar installation
Step 2.2:
- slightly grind/round the edges of main spar/carbon tube for easier installation
- At the junction of the segments of the center panel and the middle wing panel, the carbon mainspar is
wrapped with aramid for additional strength - before positioning the carbon tube in the ribs, check the first
few ribs where the reinforced part goes, how the fit is in the ribs and, if necessary, sand a little.

Step 2.5:
Step 2.6:
Note: before bonding, check if end-ribs, Pos. 20 and Pos. 44 are straight with a straight object. This is
important for later for better fitment between the sections. Also check the angles of aforementioned ribs
- bond the main spar with cyanoacrylic adhesive

Step 3:
Note:

- place trailing edge Pos. 45 (card A-3) onto drawing

- mark the position of the first four ribs onto the trailing edge
- mark the position of the first four ribs onto the drawings on the leading edge
- place and Pos. 46 (card F-3) onto trailing edge and attach with pins
- place and Pos. 46-1 (card A-3) to Pos. 46 and attach with pins to the base to follow the profile of the wing

Step 2.1:
- bond together trailing edge with Pos. 46 and Pos. 46-1
Step 3:
- place ribs Pos. 56, 59, 62, 65, 68 (card D-3) and Pos. 71 (card E-3) onto the drawing and fix with pins

Step 4:
- At the junction of the segments of the center panel and the middle wing panel, the carbon mainspar is
wrapped with aramid for additional strength - before positioning the carbon tube in the ribs, check the first
few ribs where the reinforced part goes, how the fit is in the ribs and, if necessary, sand a little
Step 4.1:
70, 69, 67, 66...57 then diagonals 56-1, and all the way to the rib 51
Note:
- slightly rotate the carbon tube during insertion for easier installment

Step 4.2:
- bond the previously prepared rib Pos. 51 on a base of balsa and plywood
- move the carbon tube further by the rib and glue the previously prepared rib Pos. 50
- move the carbon tube further by the rib and glue the previously prepared rib Pos. 49
- move the carbon tube further by the last rib and glue the previously prepared rib Pos. 47
Note:
- when gluing, make sure that the ribs are pressed down on the base

Step 4.3:
- when the mainspar is in its position, align all inter-ribs and rib diagonals
Note: before bonding, check if end-ribs, Pos. 71 are straight with a straight object. This is
important for later for better fitment between the sections. Also check the angles of aforementioned ribs
- bond the main spar with cyanoacrylic adhesive

Note:
- pay attention to the left side of 47-L and the right side of 47-R
Note 1:
- when bonding, insert a wing joiner to center the holes
Note 2:
- the lower side of the ribs should be aligned

Step 8.1:
- when gluing, pay attention that the lower sides of the ribs are aligned and flat
- on the upper side, the first rib should be higher to thicken the plank that is subsequently glued
Step 9:
- Pos. 77 of plywood to be positioned in the wing in the intended place
Note:
- do not bond, yet

Step 9.1:
- connect the wing with a steel wing joiner

- do not bond, yet

Step 9.2:
- bond Pos 77. only on the inner ribs of the wings
- separate the wings and bond Pos. 77 on the first ribs of the wing
Notes:
- when the wings are joined, do not bond them to the first ribs so they don’t bond to the fuselage

Step 10:
- prepareplywood Pos. 48-1 (card A-3), 3x Pos. 48 (card F-3)
- bond Pos. 48-1, after that all other parts

- to know the magnet polarity, put the on the magnets that are already bonded on the spoiler box
- mark the top side of the magnets with a black dot
- bond the magnets onto Pos. 74 on such a way that the magnet is visible
- test how the spoiler fits into place

Step 11:
- lightly sand the lower part of the wings

Joining wing segments
Step 12:
- preparation for joining wing segments

Step 12.1:
- joining the middle wing panel with the tip panel
- use vitroplast joiners to help and reinforce the connection of the two segments
- first dry-fit the segments together to make sure everything fits together
- the angle of the wing tip should be 11°, or 55 mm from the bottom plane

Step 12.2:
- once everything is checked and fits together, bond the two segments with two-component epoxy
adhesive and fasten them with clips
Step 12.3:
- with a fine file, lightly clean the end of the carbon mainspar on the middle wing and center panel so that
the carbon joiner fits into the carbon tube more easily
- lightly sand the carbon wing joiner that is at an angle so that the glue adheres to it better

Step 12.4:
- use angled carbon wing joiner to help and reinforce the connection of the two segments
- first dry-fit the segments together to make sure everything fits together
- the angle of the wing tip should be 6°, or 44 mm from the bottom plane
- once everything is checked and fits together, bond the two segments with two-component epoxy
adhesive and fasten them with clips
