To  avoid  scratching  your  new  airplane,  do  not 

unwrap the pieces until they are needed for assembly. 
Cover your workbench with an old towel or brown paper, 
both to protect the aircraft and to protect the table. Keep 
a couple of jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts 
after you open the bag.

SUGGESTION

Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the 

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly 
before gluing! This will assure proper assembly. 

is 

hand made from natural materials, every plane is unique 
and minor adjustments may have to be made.  However,

accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do not let 
these chemicals come in contact with the colors on the 
covering and the plastic parts.

Caution:

This model is not a toy! 

If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, 

please  ask  an  experienced  model  flyer  for  help  and 
support. If you attempt to operate the model without

parts in this kit to be free from defects in both material 
and  workmanship  at  the  date  of  purchase  by  the

WARRANTY

DISCLAIMER

Read  this  disclaimer  carefully  before  using  this 

product. Please strictly follow the instruction manual to 
assemble and use this.

In that Black Horse Model has no control over the 

final assembly or material used for final assembly, black 
Horse Model is not responsible for loss of use, or other 
incidental or consequential damages.

Furthermore,  Black  Horse  Model  cannot  be  held 

liable for personal injury or property damage caused by

knowing  what  you  are  doing  you  could  easily  injure 
yourself or somebody else. Please keep your safety and 
well-being in mind at all times.

Important:

 Before you start construction

Even  if  you  have  built  a  large  number  of  RC 

modelsplease read right through these instructions and 
check all the kit components against the parts list. We 
have taken great trouble to keep construction as simple 
as possible, without making any compromises in the area 
of safety.

Note regarding the film covering

Minor  creases  or  bubbles  may  develop  in  the  film 

covering due to major fluctuations in weather conditions 
(temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even 
find a slight warp in a component. These minor faults are 
in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden structures, 
and  can  easily  be  corrected  using  a  heat  gun,  as 
commonly used for modelling.

Creases: 

Blow warm air over the area and rub down 

with a soft cloth.

Wing  wrap: 

Hold  the  panel  twisted  gently  in  the 

opposite  direction  to  the  wrap,  and  apply  warm  air  to 
remove the creases from the covering.

Caution! 

do not heat the film more than is absolutely 

necessary. If the air or the iron is too hot, the film may melt 
and holes may be formed.

This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built 

in a very short time. However, the work which you have to 
carry out is important and must be done carefully. The 
model will only be strong and fly well if you complete your 
tasks  competently  -  so  please  work  slowly  and 
accurately.

When  self-tapping  screws  have  to  be  screwed 

into wood, apply a little white glue to prevent them 
shaking  loose:  just  squirt  white  glue  into  the  hole 
and fit the screw

§

This model is not a toy and pilots must be over the 

age of 14.

§

Be  sure  that  no  other  flyers  are  using  your  radio 

frequency.

§

Do not smoke near fuel.

§

Store fuel in a cool, dry place, away from children 

and pets.

§

Wear safety glasses.

§

The glow plug clip must be securely attached to the 

glow plug.

§

Do not flip the propeller with your fingers.

§

Keep  loose  clothing  and  wires  away  from  the 

propeller.

§

Do not start the engine if people are near. Do not 

stand in line with the side of the propeller.

§

Make engine adjustments from behind the propeller 

only. Do not reach around the spinning propeller.

§

Moisture causes damage to electronics. Avoid water 

exposure to all equipment not specifically designed and 
protected for this purpose.
