Unpacking 
 

Carefully unpack the model making sure that if you use a sharp knife to open bags, not to cut any covering 

on the model.  Inspect each item to make sure no transit damage has happened.  If you are not happy with any 
part or are unsure please contact the Dealer that you purchased from. 
 
Covering 
 

Due to the model spending time in different climates zones from the factory on its way to you, some of 

the covering may have wrinkles.  We highly recommend that you take time to re-seal all covering edges with an 
iron and to use a heat gun to remove any wrinkles and re-tighten the covering.  It is best to do this now while the 
plane is not assembled. 
Note: 

Do not let any heat get near parts like the canopy or cowl as this may cause damage. 

 
Assembly Tips 
 

We also recommend that you go over all the accessible joints with CA glue.  Wick glue into areas of high 

stress around the U/C plate and motor box.  
 

Use a thread locker on all metal-to-metal joints.  Even if you are using electric with low vibration  

levels it will make sure that things do not drop off your airplane!
