Tips for Success
Before starting assembly, take a few minutes to read the entire instruction manual to familiarize yourself with
the assembly process.
Use a fresh bottle of thin CA with a fine glue tip when attaching the CA hinges. This will ensure that the proper
amount of CA wicks into the hinge and surrounding balsa wood and creates a proper bond between the wood
and hinges.
Apply a couple drops of CA to high stress areas such as anti-rotation pins, landing gear mounts, servo trays and
motor box joints.
Take the time to properly balance and trim your aircraft and set up rates and exponential values. Your flying
experience will be greatly enhanced by doing this.
Note that this aircraft is printed using our printed covering technique. Your aircraft has been sealed with a matte
clearcoat. Due to climate changes, wrinkles may develop in the covering. These are easily removed with a little
bit of heat. Use your heat gun or a covering iron with a soft cotton iron sock, medium heat, and a gentle
technique. Just like regular covering, you can remove any wrinkles that develop over the life of your aircraft, but
go a little slower and be a bit more careful for best results. Your iron will feel a bit different gliding over this
sealed covering than regular. Be careful not to use too much heat as the covering may shrink too much and
begin to lift at the edges. Take your time, and the beautiful finish can be easily maintained.
