HANDLING & TRANSPORTING 

 

Composite models are very light but strong. These characteristics do have a down side!  
It is brittle.  
 
Take care when handling your model. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK UP AN FULLY FUELED 
MODEL BY THE LEADING EDGE BY YOURSELF! The leading edges will crack and delami-
nate. Full size jets have specially marked access points for the hooks of cranes! 
 
Inspect your model before and after a rough landing. Make sure all parts are safe and sound. 
 
Inspect model before and after transport. A sudden stop can easily cause an unnoticed dent! 
 
We recommend to REMOVE the elevators and wings for transport. It will only take a couple of 
seconds. 
 
The wings and tails are very flight worthy structures. They are light and extremely strong , how-
ever, they will dent if mishandled. Always support these structures on clean soft foam rubber.
