WARNING: Do not put in a large-than recommended engine. A bigger engine does not necessarily mean better performance.
Read through the manual before you begin, so you will have an overall idea of what to do.
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, accurately and check every joints, maybe apply more glue to be safe.
SAFETY NOTES BEFORE ASSEMBLING
IMPORTANT: Please do not clean your model with pure alcohol or strong solvents, only use liquid soap with water or use glass
cleaner to clean on surface of your model to keep the colour not fade.

Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace.
Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels.
It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked
above.
Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until
the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be
necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace.

Coat one half of the dihedral brace with 30 minute epoxy up to
the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace.
Apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of
one wing half.

If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the
model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove
wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with
low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.
