Using the Manual

Be sure to read each step thoroughly before you start the 

step. Test-fit the parts together to make sure they fit 

properly. If necessary trim to fit.

Beside each step you will notice a check box (or two). 

These are so you can keep track of your progress 

while building your kit. For steps that have two boxes, 

as in the construction of the left and right wing halves, 

these steps must be performed two times.

• Your 

Old School Model Works

 aircraft should not be 

considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working 

model that functions very much like a full-size airplane. 

Because of its performance capabilities, this model, if not 

assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause 

injury to yourself or spectators, and damage to property.

•  You must assemble this model according to the instructions. 

Do not alter or modify this model, as doing so may result in 

an unsafe or un-flyable model. In a few cases the instructions 

may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written 

instructions should be considered as correct.

•  You must take time to build straight, true and strong.

•  You must use a R/C radio system that is in first-class condition, 

a correctly sized power system and components (electronics, 

batteries, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.

• You must correctly install all R/C and other components so 

that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air. 

(Installation shown in the manual is a suggestion. You may have 

to adjust the mounting steps to accommodate the size of your 

radio equipment.)

•  You must check the operation of the model before every flight 

to insure that all equipment is operating and that the model has 

remained structurally sound. Be sure to check clevises or other 

connectors often and replace them if they show any signs of 

wear or fatigue.

•  If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown this type 

of model before, we recommend that you get the assistance 

of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your first flights. 

If you’re not a member of a club, your local hobby shop has 

information about clubs in your area whose membership 

includes experienced pilots.

•  While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use, if 

this model will be overly stressed for non-typical flying, such 

as aerobatics, or if a power system larger than one in the 

recommended range is used, the modeler is responsible 

for taking steps to reinforce the high stress points and/or 

substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress.

Remember: Take your time and follow the 

instructions to end up with a well-built 

model that is straight and true.
