12.

 

If Mylar hides a CA hinge‟s slot, find and open the slot by carefully pressing with a fingernail or sharp hobby knife. 

13.

 

Use the tip of a hot soldering iron to burn and remove any Mylar covering material to obtain good wood- to-wood gluing 
surfaces at the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. 

14.

 

We recommend 30-minute epoxy for permanent attachment of critical parts such as where the horizontal and vertical 
stabilizers attach to the fuselage. 

15.

 

If you have concern about the security of any factory fabrication procedure(s), we recommend you apply 30-minute epoxy 
around the perimeter of such part(s) as an extra safety precaution. 

16.

 

We recommend use of a thread-locking compound to secure all hardware from 
vibration. Also, once the included clevises are adjusted, we suggest you coat 
each clevis and rod with epoxy to securely and safely affix each clevis to its rod. 
As a safety precaution, always check each clevis before and after each flight. 

17.

 

This model includes some fiberglass or carbon-fiber reinforced parts. If you drill, 
grind or sand a fiberglass or carbon-fiber reinforced part, always wear safety 
goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves to guard yourself from eye, skin and respiratory-tract irritation; never blow into 
the part to remove fiberglass or carbon fiber dust (the dust may blow back into your face). 

18.

 

Check the Mylar covering material‟s joints and surfaces; if necessary, carefully use an iron 
(do NOT set the iron‟s temperature too high) to secure the edges and to tighten any loosened 
areas. Recheck and retighten from time to time. 

19.

 

For your safety, do NOT leave any strands of wire poking out from the end of any crimp tube. 
Exposed small steel strands can be sharp enough to cut or abrade skin!   

20.

 

Minor production details may vary. 

21.

 

If you are not an experienced ARF assembler or R/C pilot or have not flown this type of model before, we strongly urge 
you to get assistance from an experienced ARF assembler or R/C pilot. 

22.

 

Periodically check any preinstalled magnets to ensure they remain securely postitioned. 

23.

 

Read all instructions included with your batteries and charger. Failure to follow all instructions could result in permanent 
damage to the battery, its surroundings, and bodily harm! If you crash this model airplane, check whether the batteries are 
damaged. Do NOT attempt to use or recharge a damaged battery.
