IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

Congratulations on your choice of an ASAP kit. BEFORE you begin assembly, carefully look through the box and
thoroughly read the instruction manual. Also check the parts list against the items in the box to be sure you have
everything that is on the parts list. Also check the parts list against the items in the box to be sure you have everything
that is on the parts list. Although we have taken great pains to simplify the building process, there are no shortcuts
to safety. These instructions are your guide to safe and successful flying.
Only after you are thoroughly familiar with the construction process should you proceed with assembly.
Remember! Under no circumstances will a dealer accept a kit back for return if assembly has already begun.
If the Extra 300 is not quite what you expected, return it to your dealer in New and Unused condition. However,
we think you will agree with us that the Extra 300 kit is one of the finest models of its type and will offer you many hours
of enjoyment.
CONSTRUCTION HINTS:
1.
Trial fit each part before gluing. Be certain that the parts fit properly.
2.
Use PlastiZap or a thin type Cyanoacrylate glue for installing the
plastic parts. Do not use too much, as it may run and spoil the
appearance. Do not get Cyanoacrylate on the foam parts of the Extra
300. Cyanoacrylate will destroy the foam.
3.
It is best to use 30 minute epoxy where required. This allows time
to position the parts before the epoxy cures.
4.
Before assembly, place your radio system on charge.
5.
There is a metric ruler on page 3 to aid in finding the correct screw
sizes.
