Using the Manual
Be sure to read each step thoroughly before you start the
step. Test-fit the parts together to make sure they fit
properly. If necessary trim to fit.
Beside each step you will notice a check box (or two).
These are so you can keep track of your progress
while building your kit. For steps that have two boxes,
as in the construction of the left and right wing halves,
these steps must be performed two times.
• Your Old School Model Works aircraft should not be
considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working
model that functions very much like a full-size airplane.
Because of its performance capabilities, this model, if not
assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause
injury to yourself or spectators, and damage to property.
• You must assemble this model according to the instructions.
Do not alter or modify this model, as doing so may result in
an unsafe or un-flyable model. In a few cases the instructions
may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written
instructions should be considered as correct.
• You must take time to build straight, true and strong.
• You must use a R/C radio system that is in first-class condition,
a correctly sized power system and components (electronics,
batteries, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.
• You must correctly install all R/C and other components so
that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air.
(Installation shown in the manual is a suggestion. You may have
to adjust the mounting steps to accommodate the size of your
radio equipment.)
• You must check the operation of the model before every flight
to insure that all equipment is operating and that the model has
remained structurally sound. Be sure to check clevises or other
connectors often and replace them if they show any signs of
wear or fatigue.
• If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown this type
of model before, we recommend that you get the assistance
of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your first flights.
If you're not a member of a club, your local hobby shop has
information about clubs in your area whose membership
includes experienced pilots.
Airframe Length: 37.25 in.
• While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use, if
this model will be overly stressed for non-typical flying, such
as aerobatics, or if a power system larger than one in the
recommended range is used, the modeler is responsible
for taking steps to reinforce the high stress points and/or
substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress.
Remember: Take your time and follow the
instructions to end up with a well-built
model that is straight and true.
