- Building Guide

Welcome and congratulations on your purchase.  We hope that our product 

will provide you with many enjoyable flying hours as well as be

ing

 a pleasure 

to build.  

Please treat this manual as a guide only.  Your own modifications to the building 
process are welcome. 

We believe that the following steps are essential in achieving  success with the 
model: 

-

  Before commencing with the assembly read the entire manual. 

-

  Trial fit all parts. 

-

  All glued parts (and their mating components) should be sanded using 

240 

sandpaper.  This applies mainly to all plywood reinforcements in fuselage, tow 
hook and inner nose cone. 

-

  Accurately and neatly finished models usually fly better.
