IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
• Self-tapping (sheet metal) screws are designated by a
number and a length and are referred to as self-tapping
screws . For example 2.6 x 8 mm [7/64" x 5/16"].
This is a metric 2.6 mm diameter screw that is 8 mm long.
• Machine screws are designated by a number and a
length and are referred to as machine screws . For example
3 x 12 mm [1/8" x 7/16"].
This is a metric 3 x 12 mm machine screw that is
3 mm in diameter and is 12 mm long.
Note: For accuracy, metric screws will be written with the
actual metric dimensions first followed by the SAE
equivalent in brackets. All other dimensions provided in the
building instructions will be written in English units first
followed by the metric equivalent in brackets.
When you see the term test fit in the instructions, it
•
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just epoxy is specified, you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified, it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
•
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
• The stabilizer and wing incidences and motor thrust angles
have been factory-built into this model. However, some
technically-minded modelers may wish to check these
measurements anyway. To view this information visit the web
site at www.greatplanes.com and click on "Technical Data."
Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no
effect on the way your model will fly, please expect slight
deviations between your model and the published values.
