SUGGESTION
To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not unwrap
the pieces until they are needed for assembly. Cover
your workbench with an old towel or brown paper,
both to protect the aircraft and to protect the table.
Keep a couple of jars or bowls handy to hold the
small parts after you open the bag.
NOTE:
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly
before gluing! This will assure proper assembly. The
YAK54 MK2 GP/EP size.120/20cc SCALE 1:4 ¾
ARF is hand made from natural materials, every
plane is unique and minor adjustments may have to
be made. However, you should find the fit superior
and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel
proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A
glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do
not let these chemicals come in contact with the
colors on the covering and the plastic parts.

• This is not a toy
• Be sure that no other flyers are using your radio
