Caution: This model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an experienced model flyer for help and
support. If you attempt to operate the model without knowing what you are doing you could easily injure
yourself or somebody else. Please keep your safety and well-being in mind at all times.
Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right through these instructions
and check all the kit components against the parts list. We have taken great trouble to keep construction
as simple as possible, without making any compromises in the area of safety.
Check that the radio control system works correctly and at full range before every flight: switch on the
transmitter and the receiving system, but leave the transmitter aerial collapsed. Walk away from the
model and check that all the control surfaces work smoothly and immediately at an appropriate distance,
and deflect in the correct "sense" (direction) relative to the stick movements.
If you are a beginner to model flying we strongly recommend that you ask an experienced model pilot to
help you check the model and provide assistance during the first few flights.
The RC components and linkages should be installed during construction, i.e. when stated in the building
instructions. Fitting these parts later is likely to be much more difficult and may even be impossible.
If you are buying a new radio control system ensure that the transmitter and receiving system
components are approved for use in model aircraft, are certified by the Post Office authorities and bear
the appropriate serial approval sticker.
Please remember that the frequency bands on which our radio control systems operate are also used by
other radio systems and RF equipment. This means that modellers can never be completely confident
that their systems will never suffer interference.
In certain countries operating a radio control system on the 35 MHz band to control a model aircraft
requires a licence and the payment of an annual fee. Please check with your local Post Office whether
this applies in your country.
For more information on this subject please contact your local Post Office radio-communications office, or
ask at your local model shop.
Note regarding the film covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations in weather conditions
(temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a slight warp in a component. These minor
faults are in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden structures, and can easily be corrected using a
heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.
Creases:
Blow warm air over the area and rub down with a soft cloth.
Wing warp:
Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp, and apply warm air
to remove the creases from the covering.
Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron is too hot, the
film may melt and holes may be formed.
