BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY
• Remove parts from bag.
• Inspect fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for damage.
• If you fi nd damaged or missing parts, contact your place of purchase.
If you fi nd any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun (HAN100) and covering glove (HAN150) or covering iron
(HAN101) with a sealing iron sock (HAN141) to remove them. Use caution while working around areas where the colors
overlap to prevent separating the colors.
