CONSTRUCTION MANUAL

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 used for extremely high stress flying, such as
racing, 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.
