Caution!
Radio-controlled models, and especially model aircraft, are by no means playthings in the usual sense of the word. Building
and operating them safely requires a certain level of technical competence and manual skill, together with discipline and a
responsible attitude at the flying field. Errors and negligence in building and flying the model can result in serious personal
injury and damage to property. Since we, as manufacturers, have no control over the construction, maintenance and
operation of our products, we are obliged to take this opportunity to point out these hazards and to emphasize your
personal responsibility
Construction
Construction begins by studying the plans, parts, and instructions. The builder should understand what is to be done before
committing glue to wood. This attitude towards building helps to eliminate mistakes and results in more enjoyable and
successful building project.
Every model airplane kit should be built carefully. Good building practices will result in a better looking and flying model.
Taking the time to accurately cut stock and pre-fit parts pays off with an overall better model. A few important points
should be kept in mind throughout construction and are essential if the model is to fly as designed.
*The model must be built true...The fuselage must be straight, and the wing and tail surfaces cannot be twisted or warped.
*The flight controls must operate smoothly with no binding.
*The model must be kept light...There is no reason to "beef up" the Wayfarer. Adding structure increases weight and
detracts from the models performance.
*The completed model must balance where shown on the plan...An out of balance model will not fly properly and could be
dangerous.
Following the instructions carefully will help to insure these important requirements are accomplished.

made up from a couple of subassemblies. These subassemblies can be constructed concurrently, thus negating the need to
