 Instructions for Kanuna 258

 Classic design, well-thought-out construction, relaxed thermal soaring.
 The Kanuna 258 Retro is my first glider model that I'm producing in series – and a passion project. With a wingspan of approximately 258 cm and classic wooden construction, the model is based on the popular gliders of the 90s: box fuselage, ribbed wing, rubber attachment – nostalgic flair meets modern, well-thought-out design.
 The design is such that the precisely fitting parts, like a puzzle, can only be inserted in the correct place. This virtually eliminates construction errors. A traditional instruction manual isn't necessary – you'll be guided step-by-step through the assembly process with detailed photo documentation. The wings are built on an included jig (assembly template) made of Depron – ideal even for model builders with little experience. Building fun is guaranteed!

 Flight characteristics
 The Kanuna 258 Retro impresses with its balanced, docile flight characteristics . It particularly shines in thermals: it climbs reliably, easily catches thermals, and can be flown smoothly and with control in circles – even at very slow speeds. Ideal for relaxing hours at the flying field!

 Practical details & clever solutions
 I placed great emphasis on well-thought-out details so that you don't have to worry about additional solutions during construction:

 
 3D-printed battery holder with Velcro strap
 
 Mounting devices for antennas
 
 Magnetically attached canopy
 
 Detachable horizontal and vertical stabilizer
 
 Adapters for standard servos in 20 mm, 15 mm or 12 mm widths
 
 3D-printed holders for aileron servos (e.g., Master DS2408 HV)
 
 Mounting solutions for servo connectors and cables
