S.E.5a
Important Information:
Please inspect the plane before beginning to assemble to make sure you are happy with it. After
assembly has begun you cannot return the kit. If you find a problem before beginning to assemble the
plane you must contact us, please do not return it to the dealer. Due to temperature changes the plane
may develop some wrinkles in the covering that you will need to remove with an iron. Be sure to seal
the edges down first so that you do not cause the covering to shrink and leave exposed areas of wood.
The model is built light to ensure good flight characteristics. With the power available from the new
breed of engines, it is necessary to use throttle management in order not to overstress the airframe.
You must maintain good tight control linkage with no slop, good servos with plenty of power, and good
servo arms to protect against flutter. Sloppy linkage and over speeding the plane will cause flutter
which is not covered in the warranty. Lanier R/C is proud of the care and attention that goes into the
