DORNIER DO335
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this manual thoroughly
before starting assembly of your
DORNIER DO335
. Use the parts listing below to identify all parts.
WARNING
Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is capable of causing
injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.
If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier and join your local
R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training procedures designed to help the new pilot on
his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may
apply.
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
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
.
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.
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
DORNIER DO335
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 wrap:
Hold the panel twisted gently in the
opposite direction to the wrap, and apply warm air to
remove the creases from the covering.
Caution!
do not heat the film more than is absolutely
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
