Before you begin, check the entire contents of your kit against the parts list and photos to make
sure that no parts are missing or damaged. This will also help you to become familiar with each
component of your plane. If you find that any of the parts are either missing or damaged, please
contact Ace Hobby Distributors, Inc., Customer Service immediately for replacements.
Please read the entire manual before beginning construction, specially the cautions in
Page 18. Neither your dealer nor Ace Hobby Distributors, Inc., can accept kits for return
if construction has begun.
Trial fit each part before gluing it in place. Make sure you are using the correct part and that it
fits well before assembling. No amount of glue can make up for a poor-fitting part.
