Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest stand-off scale ARFs to be produced! The Hangar 9 Clipped-Wing Taylorcraft is
™
a stand-off scale aircraft for the modeler wanting a scale aerobatic civil aircraft. Although this is an ARF (Almost Ready-to-Fly) kit, it
does have some construction features that can be challenging for the new modeler. If you encounter difficulty in any construction
sequence, please feel free to contact one of our technicians —we stand ready to provide any assistance we can concerning the

The Clipped-Wing Taylorcraft used in the instructions for this kit was a production model just like yours. This is a "stand-off scale"
model, however the experienced modeler will find that this kit has the basic components that will allow for numerous variations. If you
decide to make scale variations, we would be very interested in learning about your effort. Any changes in the basic parameters of the
kit could result in a model that does not perform as this kit has been designed to do. Our research and development staff has built
numerous prototypes leading up to this production version. Please be sure to read the Section 21 on "Balancing the Clipped-Winged
Taylorcraft" and the engines used. We believe this information is very important for the modeler to ensure the aircraft is a safe and
satisfactory flyer.

Warning

An R/C aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open areas, preferably
AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions included with your radio and engine.
