When you see the term trial fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
•
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 (or 45-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

The Spirit Elite 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. The 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)
Sapphire Blue (TOPQ0226)
Teal (TOPQ0223)
Blue Mist (TOPQ0217)
