This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your CHIPMUNK. Use the parts listing below to
identify all parts.
WARNING.
Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is
capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU

procedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able
to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old
towel or brown paper, both to protect the air-
craft and to protect the table. Keep a couple of
jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts af-
ter you open the bag.
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you
have the correct parts and that they fit and are
aligned properly before gluing! This will assure
proper assembly. CHIPMUNK ARF is hand
made from natural materials, every plane is
unique and minor adjustments may have to
be made. However, you should find the fit su-
perior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit
are fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant
of many harsh chemicals including the follow-
ing: paint thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A glue
debonder and acetone. Do not let these chemi-
cals come in contact with the colors on the
covering and the plastic parts.

CHIPMUNK-Item code BH44. INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Caution: this model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an experienced model flyer for help
and support. If you attempt to operate the model without knowing what you are doing you could
easily injure yourself or somebody else. Please keep your safety and well-being in mind at all
times.
Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right through these
instructions and check all the kit components against the parts list. We have taken great trouble to
keep construction as simple as possible, without making any compromises in the area of safety.
Note regarding the film covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations in weather
conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a slight warp in a
component. These minor faults are in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden structures, and
can easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.
Creases: Blow warm air over the area and rub down with a soft cloth.
Wing warp: Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp, and apply
warm air to remove the creases from the covering.
Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron is too hot, the
film may melt and holes may be formed.
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the work which
you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model will only be strong and fly
well if you complete your tasks competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little white glue to prevent
them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into the hole and fit the screw.
+ This is not a toy
+ Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio frequency.
+ Do not smoke near fuel
+ Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets.
+ Wear safety glasses.
+The glow plug clip must be securely attached to the glow plug.
+ Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.
+ Keep loose clothing and wires away from the propeller.
+ Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not stand in line with the side of the propeller.
+ Make engine adjustment s from behind the propeller only . Do not reach around the spinning
propeller.
