SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel or
brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE:
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have
the correct parts and that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will assure proper
assembly. The DECATHLON ARF is hand made
from natural materials, every plane is unique and
minor adjustments may have to be made.
However, you should find the fit superior and
assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are
fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant of many
harsh chemicals including the following: paint
thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder
and acetone. Do not let these chemicals come in
contact with the colors on the covering and the
plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
• This is not a toy
