using the Manual

This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly 

easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each 

major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed 

next to each step to keep track of each step completed. 

Steps with a single box (

) are performed once, while steps 

with two boxes (



) indicate that the step will require 

repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, 

etc. Remember to take your time and follow the directions.

Before Starting Assembly

Before beginning the assembly of your model, remove 

each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect the 

fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for damage. If 

you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the place of 

purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or 

covering iron to remove them. Use caution while working 

around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating 

the colors.
