Default Anyone know?

Can anyone identify these parts for me? They came with my hotspot and I have no clue what they are for despite the wonderful illustrations and text in the Graupner manual.

The dowel rod is required to strenthen the wing tube at the shear point between the wing and the fuss. You need to sand it down till it is a tight slide fit and glue it in with epoxy.It needs to be pushed in a few inches so the centre of the domel rods are at the fuss edges.
Havent go a clue what the other bits are.

The wood with the holes in it is where you screw your valves to, it is used as a platform, and is placed in the fuse right in front of the fule tank bulkhead off to the left or right side of the fuse.

Default Wood

The long thick plywood is for sevo mounting. It is to be cut into lenghts and then mounted sideways to attach sevos.

I got a Graupner manual with english translation with my Fibreclassics Kangaroo. what a joke!!! at the time the painted roo went for 1500.

A SIG winder kit at $35.00 has a far better assembly manual.

What I REALLY liked best was "shine a light inside the fuse to locate landing gear mounts"
TRANSLATION: cut holes not according to measurementS given but to where they happened to be glued in place.
