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.
Safety notes and warnings relating to
model aircraft powered by glowplug motors
Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and operation of your model before
you attempt to operate it for the first time.
These safety notes are an integral part of the building instructions. Please keep them and the
operating instructions in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to pass them on to
the new owner.
Powered model aircraft are very demanding and potentially dangerous machines, and call for a high
level of technical knowledge and skill from the operator, together with a responsible attitude.
Powered model aircraft are not suitable for young persons under 18 years of age.
Young people should only be permitted to operate this model under the instruction and supervision
of an adult who is aware of the hazards involved in this activity.
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental faculties. As
with car driving, operating a model aircraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible
under any circumstances.
Radio-controlled model aircraft may only be employed for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
They must never be used as man-carrying machines. We do not permit this model’s use in any other
way except as a model aircraft.
A radio-controlled model aircraft can only work properly and fulfil your expectations if it is built very
carefully and in accordance with the building instructions. Do not make any modifications of any
kind to the design features or materials. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging property
it is essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating your model.
Nobody would climb into a full-size light aircraft and try to fly it without completing a course of
training first. Model flying is a skill which has to be learned in just the same way. We suggest that
you ask for help from an experienced model flyer, or join a model club or flight training school. Your
local model shop and the specialist magazines are an excellent source of information.
It is fundamentally essential to set the Centre of Gravity (CG) and control surface travels correctly.
Adjust the model until they are exactly correct.

Radio control system: satisfy yourself that your frequency is vacant before you switch on. Check
your RC system regularly, as its components eventually wear and need to be replaced or
repaired. Radio interference caused by unknown sources can occur at any time without warning.
If this should happen, your model will be uncontrollable and completely unpredictable. Never
leave your radio control system unguarded, as other people might pick it up and try to use it.
Your RC system can only work reliably if the batteries are kept fully charged.
Don’t ignore our warnings. They refer to circumstances and situations which, if ignored, can result in fatal injury or permanent
damage.
You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled model and motor.
