Introduction
The DANDY is a classic Graupner/SJ model aircraft which offers an outstanding per-
formance in the air. The DANDY was first introduced way back in 1968, and its
design remains timelessly elegant. The model can be launched by hand-tow or
bungee, but can also be flown as a powered glider with a motor pylon.
It is fundamentally essential to read through these operating instructions before you
fly the model for the first time, and to familiarise yourself with the instructions sup-
plied with your HoTT COMPUTER SYSTEM.

Assembling the model
The model requires only a few hours’ work to complete, but these instructions must
still be observed very carefully to ensure that the first flight in particular is successful.
Fuselage, fin and tailplane
Insert the fin in the slot in the tailplane, use a set-square to check that it is vertical,
and apply masking tape as shown to hold it in position. Apply cyano along the
corners on both sides; the thin adhesive “wicks” into the joint.
