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 already built a large number of RC models please read right through
these instructions and check that all the kit components are actually present. 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 warp:

Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp, and
apply warm air to remove the creases from the covering.
