Important: before you start construction

ofRCmodelsplease read right throughthese
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: Blowwarmair overthearea
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.
