IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE C/A-STYLE HINGES INCLUDED WITH YOUR AIRPLANE
The airplane uses C/A-style hinges to hinge the control surfaces. These hinges are designed to be glued into place using thin
C/A. Do not glue the hinges into place using any other type of glue, such as thick C/A or epoxy. Use of any adhesive other than
thin C/A could result in failure of the hinges during flight.
For flutter-free control surfaces and crisp control response, it is imperative that the hinges be glued in properly. This is
achieved by having a tight hinge gap (no more than 1/32" (.7mm) wide) and using plenty of thin C/A glue. Poor hinge installation
can lead to control surface flutter, which can result in a catastrophic failure of the airframe.
If the hinge(s) can't be pushed in far enough to achieve the proper hinge gap, you'll need to use a modeling knife to cut the
hinge slot(s) deeper.
Make sure to check the integrity of the hinges after the C/A fully cures.
IMPORTANT It is imperative that the aileron and elevator hinge gaps be sealed. Failure to do this can lead to control surface flutter,
which can cause your airplane to crash. Sealing the hinge gaps will also provide crisper control response and allow the
airplane to track straighter and fly truer, making trimming much easier. Its not as necessary to seal the rudder hinge gap.

PAGE 4 OF 22
COVERING
The covering material used on your airplane is real iron-on, heat-shrink covering material. It is possible with heat
and humidity changes that the covering material on your airplane may wrinkle or sag. This trait is inherent in all
types of heat-shrink material. To remove any wrinkles that might be visible you will need to use a heat-sealing
covering iron.
Follow this simple procedure to remove the wrinkles
Plug in and turn on the sealing iron to the medium-high temperature setting. Allow the sealing iron to heat up for
approximately 5 - 7 minutes.
After the sealing iron has reached temperature, lightly apply the sealing iron to the wrinkled section of the covering
material. Move the sealing iron slowly over the wrinkled section until the covering material tightens and the wrinkles
disappear.
IMPORTANT You will notice that the colour of the covering material will darken when it is heated. When the
covering material cools back down, it will return to its normal colour. If the colour layer smears from any of the
seams the temperature of the sealing iron is too hot. Turn the temperature dial down and wait about 5 minutes
for the sealing iron to adjust to the lower temperature. You can remove any excess colour streaks using a paper
towel soaked with a small quantity of Acetone.
During the covering process, sometimes colour may smear slightly from the seams. If you see any smeared
colours on the covering material, they can be quickly removed by simply wiping them off with a paper towel and a
small amount of Acetone.
GOING OVER THE COVERING
Before beginning the assembly of your M12, remove each part from its bag for
Inspection. The covering material is a standard china cover but is then painted. This is why it has a very nice finish
and if you like you and paint over it for scale detailing or touch ups.
TIPS
Make sure to test-fit the parts together before applying glue. This will ensure that the parts fit properly before gluing
them together.
When gluing anything that has a smooth surface, its important to lightly roughen the gluing surfaces with 220 grit
sandpaper. This will allow the glue to stick better. Also, never glue directly to the covering material. Always
remove the covering material from the
gluing surfaces prior to gluing the parts together.
When cutting away the covering material from the gluing surfaces, be careful to cut only through the covering
material. Try not to cut down into the balsa structure because that can compromise the integrity of the airframe.
We do not suggest storing your airplane in an extremely hot environment (like the back of your car in direct
sunlight) for any length of time. The extreme heat could cause the covering material to wrinkle or sag and possibly
damage the fragile components of the
radio control system.
Epoxy can be cleaned up before it dries using rubbing alcohol,(Metho) and C/A can be cleaned up before it dries
using C/A Debonder.
