If Mylar hides a CA hinge’s slot, find and open the slot by carefully pressing with a fingernail or sharp
hobby knife.
14.
If you are not an experienced ARF assembler or R/C pilot, we strongly urge you to get assistance from an
experienced R/C assembler and pilot.
15.
Apply threadlock compound or CA adhesive to secure hardware from vibration.
16.
Use epoxy to permanently attach, protect and reinforce critical airframe assemblies.
17.
If you have concern about the security of any factory-fabrication procedure(s), you may apply extra epoxy
adhesive around the perimeter of such part(s) as a safety precaution.
18.
Production details such as included hardware items and/or Mylar or paint colors may vary.
19.
After adjusting a clevis, secure the clevis to its threaded rod with
threadlock compound, epoxy, or CA adhesive.
For additional safety, you may hold the clevis closed by adding a
small piece of tubing (not supplied) as shown at the right.
(NOTE: If included with this model, clevises may be made of plastic or metal.)
20.
Use crimp tubes to secure wing wires to anchor points and/or to attach pull-pull cables to threaded rods
and clevises as pictured at the right:
a.
Slide the crimp tube onto the cable. Pass the
end of the cable through the anchor point or
the hole in the end of the threaded rod.
b.
Direct the end of the cable back into and all
the way through the crimp tube.
c.
Adjust the cable’s tension, then use pliers to firmly squeeze several places along
the length of the crimp tube to securely crimp the tube onto the cable.
(NOTE: For your safety, after adjustment of any clevis on its pushrod or
threaded rod, we recommend that you apply epoxy or thin CA adhesive to
permanently secure each clevis in position. Also be careful to not leave any
strands of wire poking out from the end of any crimp tube; exposed small steel
strands can be sharp enough to cut or abrade skin!)
21.
This model includes some plastic, fiberglass and/or carbon-fiber-reinforced parts. If you ever drill, grind
or sand any such part, wear safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves to guard yourself from eye,
skin and respiratory-tract irritation; never blow into such a part as the dust may blow back into your face.
22.
Some products (such as the Nieuport 17, Nieuport 28 and this Gee Bee Y Super Sportster) include a
Maxford USA-designed Max Cowling ‘invisible’ cowl-attachment system consisting of magnets and small
screws to hold the cowl in place. Do not screw these screws all the way in, but leave a narrow gap
between the screw heads and the underlying wood, then test-fit the cowl by pushing it over the screw
heads and twisting it a few degrees. If it won't turn, loosen the screws. If it goes on but is loose, tighten the
screws. To use the included magnets that hold the cowl in position on its mounting screws, glue a magnet
into its opening in the nose. With the first magnet securely in place, position the second magnet so it is
strongly attracted toward the first magnet, then glue the second magnet into its opening in the cowl ring.
23.
If you use an electric power system, read “IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN INSTALLING AND
OPERATING YOUR MODEL AIRPLANE’S ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM” on the Maxford USA Website at

.
Also read any instructions that may be
included with your motor, electronic speed control, battery and charger. Failure to consider and follow
such instructions could result in permanent damage to your model airplane, its electric power system,
their surroundings, and possible bodily harm! If you crash this model airplane, carefully check for any
battery damage. Do NOT attempt to use or recharge a damaged battery.
