Introduction to the Lancair ES FastBuild Kit
ES
1.3.B Blueprints
The blueprints included with this ES manual can be considered tools in the contribution they
make in the building of your airplane. They are mechanical drawings which present a picture of
the parts and assemblies you need to complete. But they are only useful if you can read them.
We suggest you spend the necessary time to become familiar with the blueprints prior to
building the specific portion of your airplane that they address.
A list of blueprints for the ES Super Fastbuild Kit are included at the beginning of the Parts List
section of each chapter. The lists contain only the blueprints that are provided after the
completion of the two week builder assist program.
1.3.C The ES CD
The CD included with the manual contains an electronic version of the manual that you can view
or print from your computer. In addition the CD manual provides the following:
• Includes color photographs of various construction processes and specific assembly
techniques.
• Ability to search the entire manual for a specific word or phrase.
• Includes a linked table of contents and index.
• All drawings and photographs are organized in a slideshow presentation, in the same order
as the manual’s chapters.
