IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
Congratulations on your choice of an AWARF kit. BEFORE you begin assembly, carefully look through the box and
thoroughly read the instruction manual. Check the parts list against the items in the box to be sure you have everything that is
on the parts list. Although we have taken great pains to simplify the building process, there are no shortcuts to safety. These
instructions are your guide to safe and successful flying.
Only after you are thoroughly familiar with the construction process should you proceed with assembly. Remember! Under
no circumstances will a dealer accept a kit back for return if assembly has already begun.
If the Starfire is not quite what you expected, return it to your dealer in New and Unused condition. However, we think you
will agree with us that the Starfire kit is one of the finest models of its type and will offer you many hours of enjoyment.
BEFORE ASSEMBLY
CONSTRUCTION HINTS:
1. IMPORTANT! Trial fit each part before gluing.
Be certain that the parts fit properly.
2. Use PlastiZap or a thin type Cyanoacrylate glue for
installing the plastic parts. Do not use too much, as it
may run and spoil the appearance.
3. It is best to use 30 minute (or longer) epoxy for
assembly. This will allow time to position the parts
before the epoxy cures.
4. Before assembly, place your radio system on charge.
5. There is a metric ruler on page 3 to aid in finding the
correct screw or part sizes.
