Building Stand; Pilot; Additional Items Required; Required Hardware & Accessories - GREAT PLANES Super Skybolt Instruction Manual

Building Stand

A building stand or cradle comes in handy during the build. We
use the Robart Super Stand II (ROBP1402) for all our projects
in R&D, and it can be seen in pictures throughout this manual.
The Super Skybolt ARF does not include a pilot figure. If you
plan to install one, the pilot can be attached during the build,
or later on since the canopy is removable. We suggest using
the Great Planes pilot figure (GPMA2475).
