technology. We are in no way responsible for any

Please read, understand and follow all instructions
for the charger and batteries. Failure to use this
battery technology properly can result in the risk of
fire. If you are not comfortable with this
technology, return the batteries packs and kit to us
for a refund. By building the kit and using the
batteries, you accept full responsibility for the
safety of these batteries.
Recommended building methods and glues:
Much of the construction of this model is done by
laying the parts on a flat table. It is strongly
recommended that you put wax paper down on the
surface first so any excess glue doesn’t soak through
the foam and glue the parts to the table. For all
assembly, use “Welders” contact adhesive. The hinges
are also done with Welders, see our video on the web
site. Hot glue can be used to attach the servos and
control horns.
Starting out:
Look over the parts and dry fit them together to check
for proper fit.
Painting:
It is easiest to paint the parts before assembly. Card
stock can be used to make templates for stripes,
checkers, ect... Epp does is not affected much by
solvents so Krylon, Testors and airbrush paints can be
used.
Horizontal parts assembly:
Glue the spar tube into the slot in the bottom of the
wing.
Cut a 6” long piece of 1.5mm carbon pushrod. Cut a v-
slot in the bottom of the elevator just behind the hinge
bevel and glue in the 6” carbon piece.
