Caution:
This model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of model, please ask an experienced model flyer for
help and support. If you attempt to operate the model without knowing what you are
doing, you could easily injure yourself or somebody else. Please keep your safety
and well-being in mind at all times.
Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right through
these instructions and check that all the kit components are actually present. We
have taken great trouble to keep construction as simple as possible, without making
any compromises in the area of safety.
Notes on building the model
It is essential to read right through the building instructions before starting work on
the model. Bear in mind the hazards involved in the use of tools.
Before making any glued joints, be sure to clean the surfaces and remove all traces
of grease. We recommend sanding lightly, before wiping with a non-greasy cleaning
agent. Before gluing parts to the fuselage it is essential to roughen the surfaces with
fine abrasive paper and de-grease them with acetone or similar solvent, otherwise
you will not obtain strong, durable joints. This applies in particular to moulded GRP
fuselages.
RC system components and the control surface linkages must be installed at the ap-
propriate stage of construction, as it may be very difficult or even impossible to fit
them later.
When you are buying a radio control system it is important to ensure that the trans-
mitter and receiving system are designed for use with
model aircraft
, and are ap-
proved by your national Post Office approvals authority. All RC units should possess
an FTZ series approval number.
Please remember that other radio systems and radio-frequency apparatus are also
permitted to operate in the frequency ranges used by model radio control equipment,
and there is no guarantee that your system will not suffer interference caused by
such apparatus.
If you are not sure whether this applies to you, contact your nearest Post Office Tele-
communications office. Your local model shop will also have this information.
