Note: As with all kits, to correctly understand the construction of your airplane it is
important that you read all the instructions and study the parts before you begin
construction. Handle the parts of this kit with care so you do not damage any of the
structure or covering. Inspect all the parts for any shipping damage and report any
issues to EG as soon as you can. Make sure you have a flat and sturdy workbench
and follow all safety rules for the tools and adhesives you plan to use.
AIRCRAFT COVERING:
1. With all ARFs, varying temperatures and storage delays can cause covering material to loosen over
time and transportation. EG recommends lightly going over all the covering with a covering iron set
at medium temperatures. Be sure to use a soft cover over your iron so you do not scratch the covering
surface. Be sure you go over all seams and edges of the covering to assure it is secure to the airframe
and other covering. Be careful not to apply too much heat or you may cause bubbles or damage to the
covering. A heat gun may also be used along with a soft cotton cloth to shrink and adhere the
covering. Again, be extremely careful when using a heat gun.
2. Be sure to seal any exposed wood with a thin coating of epoxy to prevent engine oil from soaking
in. This is especially important around the engine compartment and servo openings with exposed
areas.
3. Some modelers prefer to seal the hinge gaps using strips of appropriate covering or clear trim tape.
We have found this to be helpful with models intended for higher speed flight or models with
unusually large hinge gaps. EG aircraft utilize a very tight double beveled hinge line and do not
normally require this step. Sealing the hinge gaps is therefore left as an option for the modeler.
