1. Before starting assembly, take a few minutes to read the entire instruction manual to familiarize yourself with
the assembly process.
2. Go over all the seams on the aircraft with a covering iron on a medium heat setting. Also, due to climate
changes, wrinkles may develop in the covering. These are easily removed with a little bit of heat. Use a 100%
cotton tee-shirt and your heat gun and
heat the covering while gently rubbing the covering onto the wood with the t-shirt. Be careful not to use too
much heat as the covering may shrink too much and begin to lift at the edges. Take your time, and a beautiful,
paint-like finish is attainable.
3. Apply CA to high stress areas such as servo mounting trays, landing gear mounts, anti-rotation pins, wing and
stab root ribs, and motor box joints etc.
4. By the time your aircraft arrives at your door step, it will have been handled by a lot of people. Occasionally,
there are small dings or imperfections on some of the surfaces. An effective method to restore these
imperfections to original condition is to use a very fine tipped hypodermic needle and inject a drop of water
under the covering material and into the ding in the wood. Apply heat to the area with a sealing iron and the
imperfection will disappear. Deeper marks may require that this process be repeated a couple of times to achieve
the desired result, but you will be surprised at how well this technique works.
5. Use high quality, fresh epoxy for installing the composite control horns and hinges. We highly recommend
Pacer Z-Poxy 30 minute Epoxy. We are very pleased with the results and ease of application and cleanup of
these products.
6. Take the time to properly balance and trim your aircraft and set up rates with exponential values. Your flying
experience will be greatly enhanced once your plane is properly dialed in.
7. Extreme Flight now has their own Vimeo channel. There are many assembly videos providing extreme detail
on certain aspects of the assembly.
