IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

• When you see the term test fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the assembly
without using any glue, then slightly modify or custom fit the
part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely
upon your experience to decide what type of glue to use.
When a specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
• Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
™
Before starting to build, take an inventory of this kit to make
sure it is complete, and inspect the parts to make sure they
are of acceptable quality. If any parts are missing or are not
of acceptable quality, or if you need assistance with
assembly, contact Order Assistance. When reporting defective
or missing parts, use the part names exactly as they are written
in the "Ordering Replacement Parts" section on this page.
