Introduction
In order for your HOG-BIPE to fly as well as it was designed to, it must be carefully assembled. A model airplane that is not built
properly will not fly properly! Remember to work slowly and follow the instructions exactly. SIG, as the kit manufacturer, can
provide you with a proven aerodynamic design, quality materials, and detailed instructions, but ultimately the flyability of your
finished model depends on how well YOU put it all together.
Customer Service

WARNING! THIS IS NOT A TOY!
Flying machines of any form, either model-size or full-size, are not toys! Because of the speeds that airplanes must
achieve in order to fly, they are capable of causing serious bodily harm and property damage if they crash. IT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY AND YOURS ALONE to assemble this model airplane correctly according to the plans and
instructions, to ground test the finished model before each flight to make sure it is completely airworthy, and to always
fly your model in a safe location and in a safe manner.
The governing body for radio-control model airplanes in the United States is the ACADEMY OF MODEL
AERONAUTICS, sometimes referred to as the AMA. The AMA SAFETY CODE provides guidelines for the safe
operation of R/C model airplanes. While AMA membership is not mandatory, it is a good idea and we encourage all
new R/C fliers to join the AMA. Membership in the AMA provides you with important liability insurance protection in
case your R/C model should ever cause serious property damage or personal injury to someone else.
