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.

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.
