Notes about the construction of the model
Before commencing the construction of the model you should take time to read
through these instructions in their entirety. Be particularly aware of potential dangers
when using sharp tools.
Remove any grease residue from each adhesive joint before bonding. This can for
example be achieved by sanding and treating with a non-relubricating detergent.
Before glueing together parts ensure that the relevant surfaces (especially with
regards to the fibreglass fuselage) are carefully roughened with a suitable grade
sandpaper and thoroughly degreased, e.g. with acetone. Otherwise sufficient
adhesion cannot be guaranteed.
Necessary tools for the construction of ALPINA 3001 CHAMP PRO
Pencil (lead grade HB), a set square as well as a tape measure or meter rule,
household scissors, a narrow sharp knife such as e.g. a balsa knife, order no. 980,
an electric miniture and assorted drill bits.

Note:
Roughen the surfaces to be glued in the fuselage with fine-grained sandpaper to
remove any adhesive release agents. Wipe off any grinding dust. The glossy surface
of the fuselage must be rendered
matt
as otherwise good bonding of the adhesive
with the fuselage cannot be guaranteed. For information about bonding the
individual parts to one another follow the processing instructions of the adhesives.
When using adhesives containing solvents ensure that your work area is well
ventilated. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturers.
