This manual has been written for both versions of the Hawk III helicopter: the regular 30 kit
CN1000 and the 30 assembled version CN1006 & CN1007. The main portion of the manual covers the
full construction of the kit, for those modelers who have purchased the Assembled kits they have only to
do the final assembly along with the pushrod setup as detailed below.
Every attempt has been made to ease the assembly of your kit, at each step where there are com-
plex instructions there are detailed written instructions to walk you through each step.
Remember to take a few minutes before each step to carefully examine each step to become
familar with the parts and assembly before beginning that step.
