WARNING
If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier and join your
local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training 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.
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 ASSUME ALL RISK &

and minor adjustments may have to be made. However,
you should find the fit superior 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 following: paint thinner, C/A glue
accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do not let
these chemicals come in contact with the colors on the
covering and the plastic parts.
Creases: Blow warm air over the area and rub down
with a soft cloth.
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.
Note regarding the film covering
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
Wing wrap: Hold the panel twisted gently in the
opposite direction to the wrap, and apply warm air to
remove the creases from the 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.
Even if you have built a large number of RC
modelsplease 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.
Important: Before you start construction
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
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.
Caution: This model is not a toy!
