DISCLAIMER

    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. This 

kit 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.

    Some parts included in this kit such as the cowl or 

wheel pants are made of fiberglass, the fibers of 

which may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract 

irritation. Never blow into a part to remove fiberglass 

dust, as the dust will blow back into your eyes. 

Always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and 

rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding 

fiberglass parts. Vacuum the parts and the work area 

thoroughly after working with fiberglass parts.

IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

  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.

SUGGESTION

    Always operate in open areas, away from factories,

    hospitals, schools, buildings and houses etc.   

    NEVER fly your aircraft close to people or built up

    areas.

    NEVER fly near power lines, aerials or other   

    dangerous areas including airports, motorways etc.

    NEVER fly in wet conditions or on windy or stormy

    days.

    ALWAYS adjust the engine from behind the

    propeller, and do not allow any part of your body to

    be in line with the propeller.

   THE PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS Keep fingers,

    clothing (ties, shirt sleeves, scarves) or any other 

    loose objects that could be caught or drawn in, 

    away from the propeller. Take care at ALL times.

    NEVER use damaged or deformed propellers 

    or spinners.

    Keep all onlookers (especially small children and

    animals) well back from the area of operation. This

    is a flying aircraft, which will cause serious injury in

    case of impact with a person or animal.

    DO NOT dispose of empty fuel containers on a fire,

    this can lead to an explosion.

FLIGHT WARNINGS

    This is not a toy and pilots must be over the age 

    of 14

    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.

   Moisture causes damage to electronics. Avoid 

   water exposure to all equipment not specifically 

   designed and protected for this purpose.
