A  few tips to ensur e success  

1.  W e ar e ver y pleased with the level of cr aftsmanship displayed by the builder s in our  factor y. T hr ough 

hundr eds of gr ueling test flights containing maneuver s that no air craft should be subj ected to, our  

pr ototypes have r emained r igid and completely air wor thy.  H aving said that, it is impossible for  us to 

inspect ever y glue j oint in the air cr aft.  T ak e a few minutes and apply some C A  to high str ess ar eas 

such as the ailer on servo mounting trays , landing gear  mount, anti r otation pins, wing and stab r oot 

r ibs, etc.  

2.   H aving sur vived the j our ney half way ar ound the wor ld while exper iencing sever al cli mate changes, it 

is not uncommon for  a few wr ink les to develop in the cover ing. F ear  not!  T hese ar e not manufactur ing 

defects, and ar e easily r emoved with a little bit of heat.  Use a sealing ir on to go over all seams, stripes 

and shar p points in the cover ing scheme.  Y ou may want to apply a dr op of clear  fingernail polish at 

the tip of all shar p points to pr event them fr om lifting.  T o r emove wr ink les use a 100%  cotton tee-

shir t or  micr ofiber  cloth and your  heat gun and heat the covering while gently r ubbing the covering 

onto the wood with the t-shir t or  cloth. B e car eful not to use too much heat as the cover ing may shr ink  

too much and begin to lift at the edges. T ak e your  time, and a beautiful, paint lik e finish is attainable.  

3.   B y the time your  air cr aft ar r ives at your  door  step it will have been handled by a lot of people. 

O ccasionally ther e ar e small dings or  imper fections on some of the sur faces. A n effective method to 

r estor e these imper fections to or iginal condition is to use a ver y fine tipped hypoder mic needle to 

inj ect a dr op of water  under  the cover ing mater ial and into the ding in the wood. A pply heat to the 

ar ea with a sealing ir on and the imper fection will disappear . D eeper  mar k s may r equir e that this 

pr ocess be r epeated a couple of times to achieve the desir ed r esult, but you will be sur pr ised at how 

well this technique work s.  

4.   D O  NO T  S K I M P O N S E R V O S !  Y our  air cr aft is equipped with ver y lar ge contr ol sur faces that deflect 

well over  45 degr ees. A  lot of ser vo power is r equir ed to pr event flutter and to maintain the r equir ed 

deflection for  maneuver s. W e absolutely r ecommend the use of M E T A L  G E A R E D  servos with a 

mini mum of 400 oz. inches of tor que. 

5.   Use a high quality epoxy for  installing the composite control hor ns. W e highly r ecommend the use of 

Pacer  Z -Poxy 30 minute for mula. W e have used this glue for  many year s with zero failur es.  

6.   Y ou may want to add a bead of R C -56 C anopy glue to the inter section of the canopy/hatch and its 

wood fr ame for  additional strength and r esistance to vibr ation. D O  NO T  US E  C A  her e as it will fog 

the canopy.  

7.   Y our  air craft is built using very moder n constr uction techniques and is ver y light weight for  its size.  

A s with any high per for mance machine, r egular  inspection and maintenance is a must .  W hile 

disassembling your  air cr aft after  a flying session, pay close attention and inspect glue j oints, link ages 

and loose covering to be sur e the air fr ame is sound.  A  few minutes spent doing this will help ensur e 

air fr ame longevity. 

8.   B e sur e to put a dr op of blue L octite thr ead lock  on ever y bolt on this air craft !   F ailur e to do so may
