ASSEMBLY NOTES: TURNBUCKLES (not required for all kits) Included in the kit are left and right hand dies and brass rod.

Spar Preparation Wing spars, elevator and aileron spar/hinges will require routing prior to assembly. This is fast and easy to do. We recommend using a Dremel or similar router fixture. Use a round head tool that matches the size of the dowel of tube that the finished piece will need to fit.
