SUGGESTION:
To avoid scratching your new
airplane, do not unwrap the pieces
until they are needed for assembly.
Cover your workbench with an old
towel or brown paper, both to
protect the aircraft and to protect
the table. Keep a couple of jars or
bowls handy to hold the small parts
after you open the bag.
NOTE:
Please trial fit all the parts. Make
sure you have the correct parts and
that they fit and are aligned
properly before gluing! This will
assure proper assembly. The
SONIC ARF is hand made from
natural materials, every plane is
unique and minor adjustments may
have to be made. However, you
should find the fit superior and
assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used
in this kit are fuel proof. However,
they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following:
paint thinner, C/A glue accelerator,
C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do
not let these chemicals come in
contact with the colors on the
covering and the plastic parts.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are
using your radio frequency.
• Do not smoke near fuel
• Store fuel in a cool, dry place,
away from children and pets.
• Wear safety glasses.
• The glow plug clip must be
securely attached to the glow
plug.
• Do not flip the propeller with your
fingers.
• Keep loose clothing and wires
away from the propeller.
• Do not start the engine if people
are near. Do not stand in line with
the side of the propeller.
• Make engine adjustments from
behind the propeller only. Do not
reach around the spinning
propeller.
