necessary. If the air or the iron is too hot, the film 

may melt and holes may be formed.

This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built 

in a very short time. However, the work which you 

have to carry out is important and must be done 

carefully. The model will only be strong and fly well 

if you complete your tasks competently - so please 

work slowly and accurately.

When self-tapping screws have to be screwed 

into wood, apply a little white glue to prevent 

them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into 

the hole and fit the screw.

Caution:

 

This model is not a toy! 

If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, 

please  ask  an  experienced  model  flyer  for  help 

and support. If you attempt to operate the model 

without  knowing  what  you  are  doing  you  could 

easily  injure  yourself  or  somebody  else.  Please 

keep your safety and well-being in mind at all times.

Important:

 Before you start construction

Even if you have built a large number of RC models 

please read right through these instructions and 

check all the kit components against the parts list. 

We have taken great trouble to keep construction 

as  simple  as  possible,  without  making  any 

compromises in the area of safety.

Note regarding the film covering

Minor  creases  or  bubbles  may  develop  in  the 

film covering due to major fluctuations in weather 

conditions  (temperature,  humidity  etc.);  in  rare 

cases  you  may  even  find  a  slight  warp  in  a 

component. These minor faults are in the nature of 

film-covered built-up wooden structures, and can 

easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly 

used for modelling.

Creases: 

Blow warm air over the area and 

rub down with a soft cloth.

Wing warp: 

Hold  the  panel  twisted  gently 

in the opposite direction to the 

warp,  and  apply  warm  air  to 

remove  the  creases  from  the 

covering.

Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely 

+  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.
