OTHER ITEMS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
A checklist is also provided on the next page which will make shopping for these items easier.
Radio - A 4- channel radio with 4 standard servos is
required.
Most lower priced 4-channel
radios only
come with three standard servos so you may need to
purchase the fourth servo separately. If you fly with a
Nitro Power unit then 5 servos are required.

Adhesives- You will need two types of adhesives for the
Tiger Trainer - Epoxy and
Instant ( cyanoacrylate )
adhesives. We recommend that you purchase both 5-
minute and 30-minute epoxy to cut down on assembly
time, but you can get by with only 30-minute epoxy if time
is no important. You will also need a small bottle of both
"Thick" and "Thin" instant adhesive.
Tools-Model assembly can be much easier if the proper
tools are used.
Therefore we have included in our
checklist to above, a complete listing of all the tools we
used to assemble our prototype models. As you will
notice,
many household tools can be utilized during
construction.
