A QUICK WORD ABOUT SAFETY AND RADIO CONTROL FLYING MODELS

With radio control aircraft, like any hobby or sport, there are certain risks. The operator of
these models is responsible for these risks. If misused or abused, you may cause serious
bodily injury and/or damage to property. With this in mind, you will want to be certain that
you build your model carefully and correctly. If you are not an experienced flier, have your
work checked and ask for help in learning to fly safely. This model aircraft is not a toy and
must be operated and flown in a safe manner at all times. Always perform a pre-flight
check of the model including all control surfaces, correct function of the radio gear,
structure, radio range, and any other area relating to the safe operation of this aircraft.
Models are not insurable but operators are. You can obtain coverage through membership
in the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). For an AMA information package call 1-800-
435-9262, ext. 292 or visit the AMA website at "www.modelaircraft.org". Or if you are in
any other country please contact the appropriate body.
By the act of using the final assembled model, the purchaser/operator accepts
all resulting liability.

Note: As with all kits, it’s a good idea to read all the instructions and study the parts before
you begin construction. Handle the parts of this kit with care so you do not damage any of
the structure or covering. Inspect all the parts for any shipping damage and report any
issues to as soon as you can. Make sure you have a flat and sturdy workbench and follow
all safety advice for the tools and adhesives you plan to use.
AIRCRAFT COVERING
1. With all ARFs, varying temperatures and storage delays can cause covering material to
loosen over time and transportation. We recommend lightly going over all the covering
with a covering iron set at medium temperatures. Be sure to use a soft cover over your
iron so you do not scratch the covering surface. Be sure you go over all seams and
edges of the covering to assure it is secure to the airframe and other covering. Be
careful not to apply too much heat or you may cause bubbles or damage to the covering.
A heat gun may also be used along with a soft cotton cloth to shrink and adhere the
covering. Again, be extremely careful when using a heat gun.
2. Be sure to seal any exposed wood with a thin coating of epoxy to prevent engine oil from
soaking in. This is especially important around the engine compartment and servo
openings with exposed areas.
3. Some modelers prefer to seal the hinge gaps using strips of appropriate covering or clear
trim tape. We have found this to be helpful with models intended for higher speed flight
or models with unusually large hinge gaps. Our aircraft utilize a very tight double
beveled hinge line and do not normally require this step. Sealing the hinge gaps is
therefore left as an option for the modeler.
