acetone. Do not let these chemicals come in contact 

with the colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

wheel pants are made of fiberglass, the fibers of 

which may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract

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

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.

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

    be in line with the propeller.
