    Assembly & Operation Manual ARF Paint The color finish on your Skymaster Hawk arf pro model was applied out of the mould.

  • Page 5: Handling & Transporting

    Always support these structures on clean soft foam rubber. LIVE HINGE Skymaster utilize this system of hinging control surfaces because it is a very strong hinge system and is accomplished at the factory. Occasionally, because of climatic changes, the bottom surfaces may “catch” or inter- fere with control travel surface actuation.
  • Page 6: Tool List

    This is a fairly quick and easy plane to build, for a jet model, not requiring difficult techniques or special equip- ment, but even the building of Skymaster aircraft requires some suitable tools! You will probably have all these tools in your workshop anyway, but if not, they are available in all good hobby shops, or hardware stores like "Home Depot"...
  • Page 7: Health

    The glass cloth side of parts to glue, should be sanded with #80 grit paper for best glue adhesion. Support the fuselage on foam pads. Skymaster makes every attempt to insure that the parts fit. However, due to manufac- turing tolerances, some parts may fit a little tight. Always trial fit parts and adjust if needed.
