Introduction
The AMIGO IV is a classic Graupner/SJ model aircraft which offers an exceptional
performance in the air. The outstanding features of the glider are its low airspeed and
excellent thermal flying qualities. In developing the new version we were determined
to emulate the original design as accurately as possible; for example, the wing and
tail airfoils are unchanged. The model can be launched by hand-tow or bungee, but
can also be flown as a powered glider with a motor pylon. Completing the aircraft
calls for manual modelling skills, and should therefore only be attempted by ex-
perienced modellers, or beginners with the assistance of a proficient model builder.

Building Instructions
Before you start building the model please study the building instructions and the
plan, so that you have a clear idea of the processes and sequence of assembly.
For each stage lay out the components, tools and adhesives required. Separate the
laser-cut wooden parts from the sheets using a balsa knife, trim them as required,
drill holes at the marked points and sand the edges smooth. Always work on a clean,
smooth surface when assembling components. The white glue supplied should be
used for all joints unless expressly stated otherwise; wipe off excess adhesive with
paper towel. Hold parts together with modelling pins or adhesive tape until the glued
joints have dried out thoroughly.
