Wing warp:
Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp, and
apply warm air to remove the creases from the covering.
Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron is
too hot, the film may melt and holes may be formed.
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the
work which you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model
will only be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks competently - so please work
slowly and accurately.
When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little white glue
to prevent them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into the hole and fit the
screw.
Safety notes and warnings relating to model aircraft
powered by glowplug motors and petrol engines
•
Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and
operation of your model before you attempt to operate it for the first time.
•
These safety notes are an integral part of the instructions. Please keep them
and the operating instructions in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model
be sure to pass them on to the new owner.
•
Powered model aircraft are very demanding and potentially dangerous
machines, and call for a high level of technical knowledge and skill from the
operator, together with a responsible attitude.
•
Powered model aircraft are not suitable for young persons under 18 years of
age.
•
Young people should only be permitted to operate this model under the
instruction and supervision of an adult who is aware of the hazards involved
in this activity.
•
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and
mental faculties. As with car driving, operating a model aircraft under the
influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances.
•
Radio-controlled model aircraft may only be employed for the purpose
intended by the manufacturer. They must never be used as man-carrying
machines. We do not permit this model’s use in any way except as a model
aircraft.
•
A radio-controlled model aircraft can only work properly and fulfil your
expectations if it is built very carefully and in accordance with the building
instructions. Do not make any modifications of any kind to the design features
or materials. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging property it is
essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating
your model. Nobody would climb into a full-size aircraft and try to fly it without
completing a course of training first. Model flying is a skill which has to be
learned in just the same way. We suggest that you ask for help from an
experienced model flyer, or join a model club or flight training school. Your
local model shop and the specialist magazines are excellent sources of
information.
•
It is fundamentally essential to set the Centre of Gravity (CG) and control
surface travels correctly. Adjust the model until they are exactly correct.
