CLIPPED WING CUB - 48C
engine,using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over powered
engine may cause severe damage and injuries.
#Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get
too close to a running propeller.
#If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot iron
to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and gradually raise
the temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may damage the covering.
#Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.
