forhelp andsupport.Ifyouattempttooperate

themodel withoutknowingwhat youaredoing

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

Evenifyou havealready built alarge number

ofRC modelspleaseread rightthrough 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: Blowwarm airoverthearea

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTION.

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

screwed into wood, apply a little white glue

to prevent them shaking loose: just squirt

white glue into the hole and fit the screw.
