Notes on building the model
•
Before you start building the aircraft it is essential to study the plan and read right
through the instructions. Please bear in mind the dangers inherent in the handling
of tools.
•
When preparing wiring, be sure to use cable capable of carrying the currents like-
ly to flow when the model is flying.
•
Deploy the receiver aerial as far away as possible from high-current cables (at
least 3 cm).
•
Remove all traces of grease from the joint surfaces of components which are to
be glued. A good method is to sand lightly before wiping with a non-greasy liquid
detergent solution. The same applies to surfaces which are to be painted, other-
wise the paint will not adhere permanently. Before gluing any GRP parts, and
GRP fuselages in particular, the joint surfaces must be sanded thoroughly with
fine-grit abrasive paper before de-greasing with a solvent such as acetone. This
is the only method of obtaining durable glued joints involving GRP parts.

Radio control system
The RC system must feature at least five control functions and ten servos. The
transmitter should also include a servo reverse facility.
We particularly recommend MC-22s to MC-24 computer systems. The model is de-
signed for standard-sized servos.
We recommend the following receiver power supply: two GRAUPNER 5N-5000
NiMH packs, Order No.98903.5, or two LiIo-Nano A 123 packs, Order No. 7682.2,
which need to be maintained carefully before and after each flying session. Please
note that batteries of this type do not reach full capacity until they have been charged
and discharged (cycled) several times.
