DISCLAIMER
T
HIS IS NOT A TOY
. This is a high-performance miniature aircraft,
capable of high speeds and damage to life, limb, and property. The
manufacturer and its distributors cannot control how you assemble
this model, what equipment you use to fit it out, or how you fly it,
and can assume no liability whatsoever for any damages that may
occur when you fly your aircraft. By assembling this model, you are
agreeing to indemnify and hold blameless the manufacturer and/or
his agents from any and all torts and liability associated with the use
of this product. Please inspect all parts before beginning assembly.
If any parts appear to be suspect, contact your dealer or the
manufacturer for repair or replacement BEFORE you begin. Once
you have assembled the aircraft, you are the pilot in command and
assume any and all responsibility for the use of the model and any
damages that might occur by flying or attempting to fly this aircraft.
R/C model jets require a high level of skill in both their assembly and
their flying. If you do not feel confident in either your building or
flying skills, PLEASE seek assistance from more experienced
modelers. It is a wise idea, no matter what level of skills you
possess, to have a second experienced modeler go over your
installation after assembly. A second set of eyes may spot a problem
you have missed. If you have not flown a model like this before, it is
HIGHLY recommended that you get an experienced turbine pilot to
do your maiden flight. Very often, the first few seconds of a maiden
flight are critical until the aircraft is trimmed out, and having an
experienced pilot at the controls can make the difference between a
wrecked aircraft and once that enjoys many hundreds of flights. Be
sure to select a suitable field for flying...take the time to find a large
paved runway if at all possible, especially for test flights, until you
feel comfortable getting the aircraft in and out of smaller grass
fields.
Before you begin
Keep this in mind as you proceed:
Look at EVERY assembly step you finish, and ask yourself:
"Is this going to crash my airplane?"
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and this is a high-
performance aircraft that will be very intolerant of sloppy assembly
techniques. Even the smallest component is important and can
cause the loss of your airplane, so take the time to do things right.
Or REdo them if they are wrong. Careful work will result in a long-
lasting plane that gives you years of pleasure, one loose component
could result in the complete loss of the aircraft and all the
components inside it, and someone can even get hurt. So pause
every once in a while when building it and double-check your
workmanship.
Introduction
You have chosen a model that represents the pinnacle of ARF
technology. While there is not a lot of building to do, there is
enough to keep you busy for a few evenings.
Even if you have assembled maybe other ARF jets, we highly
recommend following our assembly sequence and procedures
anyway. Chances are it will save you a lot of time, prevent you from
running down dead ends, and perhaps remind you of a few small
things that might end up saving your aircraft.
We have tried to arrange a construction sequence that will allow you
to keep moving forward, rather than standing around waiting for
glue to dry before you can proceed to the next step.
Just because the model is almost completely built does not mean
you can rush through the final assembly.
You need to employ fine craftsmanship every step of the way,
