absolutely necessary.
#Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly

#Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get
too close to a running propeller.

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.
