GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Thank you, for purchasing this
Stevens Aeromodel
Stella – Small Field Sport Plane. This kit provides the builder and
pilot a refreshing change of pace from heavy “ARF” style plywood box airframe construction and blends stick and tissue
design methods of the past with state of the art CAD technology and precision interlocking laser cut parts; the result is
something you will find truly exceptional to build and fly. Please keep in mind that this kit is intended for a novice-
intermediate builder and novice-intermediate pilot as a second aileron plane. If you do not meet these criteria it is
recommended to seek help from a more experienced builder / pilot.
Best Regards,
Bill Stevens

Assembly Tips
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
and the plan sheet prior to starting any work!
Tape plans to work table. Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap.
Join all joints with Thin CA unless otherwise specified.
DO NOT REMOVE THE PARTS FROM THE BALSA SHEETS UNTIL REQUIRED!
DO NOT FORCE THE FIT
– when in doubt double check your parts - removal of material should not be
required. If you feel that you have a poor connection check first to see that the part is not upside down.
Reference each piece against the plan sheet.
Making solid glue joints: Hold parts together on top of plan sheet using moderate pressure to fit parts - wick thin
CA into joint. (There is no need to pin parts to work table as all pieces interlock and self - jig.)
