Mountain Models Fighter 22 Manual Download Page 2

Thank you for purchasing the Mountain Models Fighter 22 Cul-De-Sac Flyer. The Fighter 22 is a super 

lightweight, highly aerobatic Depron foam jet. Standard aerobatics, rolling circles, and falling leafs are no 
problem for this nimble jet. High quality laser cut Depron and plywood parts make the assembly of this laser 

cut model airplane kit a breeze! 

We think you’ll find this jet to be a lot of fun, being able to be flown in small outdoor spaces and indoor 

gymnasiums. 

Thank you, 
Brian Eberwein
