PHASE 1 - CHECK OUT THE CONTENTS.
You’ve taken the lid off the box, read over the "READ ME FIRSTt" pamphlet and you are ready to start with the assembly
procedure… you’re about 6-8 hours away from being ready to go flying! Now is the time to look over what’s in the box. Please
go through the contents and make sure nothing has been damaged in shipping.
Damaged, missing or defective compo-
nents must be reported to your vendor BEFORE any assembly begins. Please DO NOT START if something is dam-
aged, missing or defective. See Page 3 for further information. As you can imagine, once you join the wing halves or
install your radio or engine your options for returns are very limited. Your vendor will not be able to provide you with
exchanges or replacements of parts that have been assembled. DO NOT START UNLESS IT'S RIGHT!
