Warning
This RC aircraft is not a toy!
If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property.
Fly only in open areas, preferably in official flying sites, following all instructions included with
your radio and motor.
This plane is a compromise between Aerobatics and 3D flying, and not a pylon racer.
It is built with a very light structure and for this reason we hardly recommend:
→Do NOT fly your airplane at high speeds, because this may cause structural
failures or flutter due to the extremely large control surfaces.

Before starting assembly
Before starting the assembly of your Wind S110, remove each part from its bag and protection for a
prior inspection. Closely inspect the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you
find any damage or missing parts, contact the place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or covering iron to remove them. Use
caution while working around areas where the covering material overlap to prevent separating the
covers.
Using the manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly easier to understand and to provide
breaks between each major section.
In addition, check boxes () have been placed next to each step to keep track of each step
completed. Steps with two boxes indicate that the step will require repeating, such as for a right or
left wing panel, two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
