If exposed to direct sunlight and / or heat, wrinkles can appear. Storing the model in a coll
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.
Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und / oder Warme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten entstehen.
Verwenden Sie ein Warumluftgeblase (Haartrockner) um evtl. Falten aus der Folie zu
bekommen. Die Kanten konnen Sie mit einem Bugeleisen behandeln. Nicht zuviel Hitze

- Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain that there are no gaps.
If the parts will join, but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts a little at
a time until the parts meet exactly with no gaps.
- Check for the correct dihedral angle
Before gluing:
- Draw the center line on the wing joiner.

the dihedral brace into the wing joiner cavity up to
the center line.

1-Join the push rod to the retract gear
arm and trial fit the retract into the wing.
2-After checking that the retract works
smoothly and be sure to adjust the
stroke so that the landing gear locks
in both up and down position, fix the
retracts on the wing with 3x15mm screws
Carefully slide the wing halves together,
ensuring that they are accurately aligned.
Firmly press the two halves together,
allowing the excess epoxy to run out.
Note: The two wing halves roots must
fit together perfectly.
Clear off the excess epoxy.

Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain that there are
no gaps.
If the parts will join, but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts
a little at a time until the parts meet exactly with no gaps.
When joining the stabilizer it is extremely important to use plenty of
epoxy (30 minutes) or CA glue (thin type)

Push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots in the
trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. There should be a
minimal hinge gap and the end of the elevator should not rub
against the horizontal stabilizer.
When satisfied with the and alignment, hinge the elevator to the
horizontal stabilizer using thin CA glue. Make sure to apply a
thin layer of CA glue to the top and bottom of both hinges and to
inside the hinge slots. Repeat the previous procedures to hinge
the second elevator to the other side of the horizontal stabilizer.

above.
Remove the engine and insert the cowl on to the fuselage
so the distance from the fire wall to the front of the cowl is
109 to 111mm .
Remove the cowl from the fuselage and carefully cut the
opening for the engine head as marked above. Do the
same way with the hole for needle-valve.
Again. Insert the cowl on to the fuselage and secure it in

BEFORE FLYING CHECK EVERYTHING
Before each flight, inspect the airplane for any loose parts. Check the hinges, make sure the pushrods are still firmly
attached, and check the engine mounting bolts. In general, check everything on the plane that might possibly come
loose.
Der Schwerpunkt sollte zwischen 88 mm und 92 mm
hinter der Nasenleiste liegen. Für die ersten Flüge
empfiehlt es sich, den Schwerpunkt an den vorderen
angegebenen Punkt zu legen.
Falls erforderlich muss dies durch Ankleben von Blei
erreicht werden.
