The
main
tank
is
deli
-
vered
in
two
halves.
Accessories
such
as
hoses,
pendulums,
etc.
are
not
included.
After
accesso
-
ries´assembly,
the
two
tank
halves
are
bonded
together;
a
surrounding
ribbing
on
one
tank
half
will
guarantee simple and fuel-tight glueing.
The
tank
components
are
easily
accessible
for
main
-
tenance purposes.
The
wheels
of
the
25%
glattCAD
He-162
have
a
dia
-
meter
of
160
mm
and
a
width
of
45
mm.
The
struts
are
about
190
to
195
mm
long
(measured
without
the
pin,
to
the
wheel
axis).
40-size
electric
retracts
(for
take-off
weights
of
up
to
17
kg)
are
recommen
-
ded
for
the
landing
gear.
The
four-part
mounting
frame
consists
of
a
composite
of
3
mm
birch
ply
-
wood
(6-fold
cross-bonded)
and
3
mm
fiber
glass
material.
It
is
multiply
tounged
and
grooved
with
the
adjacent
com
-
ponents.
As
with
the
origi
-
nal,
the
two
gear
doors
can
be
controlled
by
mechanical
gimbal
drives,
but
opening
and
closing
works
more
reliably
using
two
small
servos.
The
corresponding
frames
have
been
prepared.
Putting
these
door
servos
in
a
logical
dependence
on
the
movement
of
the
undercarriage,
the
real
behavior
can
be
simulated.
The
doors
are
fiber
glass-laminated
in
molds
on
both
sides.
This
also contributes to the typical look of the original.
The
tail
-
plane
is
secured
by
a
screw,
which
is
inserted
from
below
through
a
guide
tube
through
the
fuselage.
All
servos
are
loca
-
ted in the tailplane.
The
guiding
tubes
bonded
in
the
fuse
-
lage
have
a
strong
connection
to
the
two
central
fuselage
frames,
so
that
the
aluminum
tube
inside
are optimally supported at the most stressed areas.

is
also
conceiva

ble.
For
this
purpose,
a
performance-optimized
ducting
was
developed.
If
you
choose
this
version,
the
weight
should
of
course
be
kept
in
mind
with
regard
to
the
installation
of
accessories
and
„scale“
features.
The glattCAD He-162 is available in two variants.
A turbine with a thrust between 120 and 160N is
ideal for jet propulsion. In this variant, the "Scale"
model can be equipped with multiple electronic
components. The wing load is then comparatively
high, the pilot should have experience in jet flight.
The machine can reach a
take-off weight of
17 kg.
A
tank
adapted to the
special geometry of the
salamanders with a volume of 3.55
ltr. is offered. It extends a little into the main gear
bay in order to keep it as close to the center of
gravity as possible.
It
is
sufficient
to
secure
the
jig
with
a
few
weights
or
needles
on
the
construction
table
against
slipping.
As
soon
as
a
few
more
components
have
been
installed,
a
fuselage
or
a
wing
half
can
be
easily
transported
to
another
work
station
together
with
the
jig
.
An
even
table,
a
door
from
the
hard
-
ware
store,
or
a
simple,
flat
board
with
a
minimum
length
of
225
cm
is
sufficient
as
a
building
board
for
building all components.
Formers,
wing
halfs
and
tail
plane
ribs
are
provided
with
small
„legs“.
They
are
put
into
corresponding
slots
of
the
poplar
plywood
„jig“.
A
warpage
in
assembly
is
practically
excluded,
provided
that
a
straight construction board is used as a base
.

To protect the wings from slipping off the fuselage, a

fuselage-side root rib. It reaches into the correspon-
ding receptacle on the wing side to be secured from
the underside of the wing with a nylon screw.

The
front
landing
gear
has
also
been
given
a
double-
sided
laminated
fiber
glass
gear
door.
There
are
various
options
for
door
control.
A
servo
frame
for
a
small
servo
is
provided.
The
wheel
measures
about
95
mm
in
diameter,
the
width
is
about
36
mm.
An
40-size
electric
retract
with
a

is
ideal.
Then
the
steering
servo
sits
in
an
aluminum

that
is
also
moved
when extending/retracting, see animation.
There
is
space
in
the
fuse
nose
above
the
landing
gear,
e.g.
for
lead
and
two
receiver
batteries.
The
frame
for
the
retract
consists
of
a
composite
of
3
mm
birch
plywood
(6-fold
cross-bonded)
and
3
mm

(not

provide
e
x
t
r
a
air
while
the
model
stands
on
the
ground.
The
warm
exhaust
air
is
directed
through
the
main
landing
gear
bay
and
further
behind
it
outwards
through
a
series of openings in the fuse
-
lage bottom.
A
sophisticated
air
supply
system
has
been
develo
-
ped
to
keep
the
ESC
cool
inside
the
fuse
and
to
avoid
it
to
be
integrated
into
the
airflow
of
the
duc
-
ting
in
a
performance-reducing
manner.
The
jacket
pipes
of
the
two
on-board
MGs
conduct
the
air
on
both
sides
into
the
fuselage
interior.
The
right

connected
by
means
of
a
bushing
to
a
guided

-
gated
hose,
which
ends
immediately
in

of
the
frame
on
which
the

is
attached.
10.
Access inside Fuselage
The
EDF
drive
variant
houses
the
large
battery
pack
in
the
model´s
fuselage
(e.g.
12,000
mAh
x
14S).
However,
easy
access
to
tank
and
hopper
tank
is
also
desirable
for
the
JET
(turbine)
variant.
Due
to
the
design,
the
access
via
the
canopy
m
a
k
e
s
sense,
as
the
fuselage
back
is
covered
by
the
jet
engine´s
piggy
-
back.
As
with
the
original,
the
rear
part
of
the
canopy
can
be
tilt
upwards.
The
seat
(can
be
equipped
with
a
full-
body
pilot's
doll)
is
guided
and
fixed
in
a
rail
system
along
the
cabin
rear
wall.
It
just
needs
to be pulled up.
Now
the
two-part
cabin
rear
panel
can
be
also
removed.
It
adheres
by
means
of
neodymium
magnets
in
the
cabin rear wall´s frame (slanted fuselage former).
Access
to
the
bat
-
tery
pack
(or
kerosene
tank)
is
free.
In
some
cases
the
battery
pack
needs
to
be
rotated
still
inside
to
be
r
e
m
o
v
e
d
t
h
r
o
u
g
h
the open rear wall.
If
you
turn
the
circular
bearing
frame
on
top
of
the
turbine
piggyback
against
a
small
tension
spring,
the
access
panel
can
be
unlocked
and
removed
from
the
model.
The
cap
of
the
JET
variant
is
slightly
longer
than
that
of
the
EDF
variant.
In
order
to
be
able
to
meet
the
requirement
for
the
centre
of
gravity
position
more
easily,
the
turbine
is
installed
a
former
compart
-
ment
further forward.
Four
beechwood
tenons
guarantee
the
safe
fit
of
the removable maintenance cap.
The
tail
can
be
completely
removed
for
transport.
It
lies
exactly
in
an
indentation
of
the
fuselage
rear
end.
A
fiber
glass
tongue
extends
centrally
from
the
empennage´s
"nose"
forwards
into
the
correspon
-
ding groove in the fuselage.
The electrical connection is
done automatically via a reliable connector when
linking the empennage to the fuselage.

Battery Pack Locking
(Variant EDF)
The
battery
pack
(variant:
EDF
)
is
mounted
on
a
milled
fiber
glass
board
stabilized
by
a
small
vertical
web.
The
board
can
be
placed
on
four
short
threaded
rods
and
screwed
in
this
way.
The
position
of
the
battery
car
-
rier
in
the
fuselage
is
variable
within
a
certain
range
and
can
thus
be
adapted
to
the
requirements
of
the
center of gravity.

ESC and Battery Pack Cooling

Sufficient
space
would
be
availa

to

further
forward
in
the
fuselage,
but
the
center
of
gravity
would
vary
with
the
current
gas
level
in
the
main
tank.
A
special
tank
was
therefore
developed
extending
a
little into the main landing gear bay.

Any
cable
that
is
