There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet metal screws are designated by a number and a
length. For example #6 x 3/4"
This is a number six screw that is 3/4" long.
Machine screws are designated by a number, threads per
inch and a length. For example 4-40 x 3/4"
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" long with
forty threads per inch.

Whenever the term
glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
•
Whenever just
epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute epoxy
or 6-minute epoxy. When 30-minute epoxy
is specified it is highly recommended that you use only 30-
minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you will need the
working time and/or the additional strength.

Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.

The Slow Poke Sport .40 ARF is factory-covered with
Top Flite MonoKote
®
film. Should repairs ever be required,
MonoKote can be patched with additional MonoKote
purchased separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls,
but some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied
with a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a
regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full
instructions for application. Following are the colors used on
this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
White TOPQ0204
Gray TOPQ0211
