IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

•  When you see the term test fi t in the instructions, it 
means that you should fi rst position the part on the assembly 
without using any glue, then slightly modify or custom fi t 
the part as necessary for the best fi t.

•  Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon 
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When 
a specifi c type of adhesive works best for that step, the 
instructions will make a recommendation.

• Whenever 

just 

epoxy is specifi ed you may use either 

30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When 
30-minute epoxy is specifi ed it is highly recommended that 
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you 
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.

•  Photos and sketches are placed before the step they 
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps 
to get another view of the same parts.

•  The ElectroStik EP ARF is factory-covered with Top Flite 
MonoKote fi lm. Should repairs ever be required, MonoKote 
can be patched with additional MonoKote purchased 
separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls, but 
some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small 
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a 
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied 
with a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a 
regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full 
instructions for application. Following are the colors used on 
this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.

•  The stabilizer and wing incidences and motor thrust 
angles have been factory-built into this model. However, 
some technically-minded modelers may wish to check these 
measurements anyway. To view this information, visit the web 
site at www.greatplanes.com and click on “Technical Data.” 
Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no 
effect on the way your model will fl y, please expect slight 
deviations between your model and the published values.
