TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED.
• Set yourself up a building table or bench with a lat surface big enough to assemble the
wing and fuselage. Preferably a table or bench with a wood surface that you can stick build-
ing pins into.
NOTE: Check with your parents or partner that it is ok FIRST!
• Lay out the included plans on the work table and secure it to the work table with pins or
tape.
• If you want to keep the plans clean for future use, you can cover them with plastic cling
wrap or a sheet of clear plastic before you get started.
• Identify the components required for each step using the plans and component pictures
on kit content.
• Take your time and test it components before gluing.
• Place over plans to help with alignment and pin in place where possible.
• Make sure the components are held in the correct position prior to adding glue.
NOTE: his is particularly important when using fast acting glues like CA (Cyano
Acrylate).
• Allow the glue to set completely before moving assembled components.
• Once you get familiar with the process and to get the strongest airframe, you may want to
tack.
the components together with CA irst (and uses accelerator for an instant set), the go back
over the joins with white wood glue and make a gusset of glue. (his kit includes a comple-
mentary bottle of white wood glue).
• Do not apply too much white glue, just a thin ilm is enough.
• Build it light to ly well - Don't build it heavy, thinking it will survive a crash.
• When sanding balsa, use a light touch as balsa is a strong but very light timber and it
would be very easy to sand too much away.
• Be very careful when handling sharp hobby knives and blades, you do not want to cut
yourself.
• If you get glue on your hands, make sure you clean it of immediately, for your own safety
and to prevent glue getting onto surfaces that it shouldn't.
• Tackle the build in small steps, completing each one before moving onto the next. In no
time at all the build will be complete and you will be able to show it of to your friends.
• If you are unsure how to proceed at any stage, stop and reread the instructions or seek help
from an experienced modeler or from your local hobby shop.
Good luck with your build and ater reading the rest of the instructions, you are
ready to start.
