Dragonfly 700mm EPP RC Airplane Kit from Banggood - Part 2: Detailed Assembly

I purchased this 700mm-wingspan Dragonfly RC airplane kit from Banggood back in September. At that time, it cost me $33.65 plus about $2 for shipping and insurance. It shipped from their China warehouse and arrived in about two weeks. The box the kit came in was just a cheap cardboard box without any branding on it. There was some damage to the box in the form of a relatively wide rip. Fortunately there was no damage to the kit and no missing parts. Here is the link (it is not an affiliated link):

It is a very basic kit. It is mostly made of EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam with some small pieces of plywood and metal wires and rods for control linkages and landing gear. Although simple and looks cheap, it is a complete kit... except the instruction manual, which is just a double-sided page in Chinese! And I could not find a link on Banggood website to a manual in English. Nevertheless, there are pictures on the manual and the build was quite straightforward.
Over the last several months since I have put this kit on my Banggood Wishlist, I have seen it listed for as high as $67.99 and as low as $29.90. I think it is a great RC parkflyer kit for $35 or lower, but I would not pay more than that. I think for $68 you can get yourself a much better and larger RC airplane kit or even a PNP (plug-and-play) or receiver-ready (RxR) package with all the parts you will need except the receiver, transmitter and battery.
In the first episode I showed what comes in the box and all the parts (and their prices) I have been planning to use to complete this project. The total was about $85, which included a receiver, a battery and the total shipping cost.

In this second episode I am showing the assembly of this kit with the parts into a flight-ready condition for its maiden flight, which will be shared in the next episode. I bind the 4-channel mini FrSky D8-compatible receiver that I install on this airplane to my RadioMaster TX16S OpenTX transmitter, which is demonstrated in this video:
