INTRODUCTION

All of us at Thunder Tiger want to thank you for choosing one of the finest 60 sized sport planes available, the Cloud Dancer 60. Designed by the
late Fred Reese, this airplane offers a unique appearance  and sprightly, yet predictable performance. This model features state-of-the-art 
engineering that provides quick and easy assembly of a strong, yet lightweight airplane that will give you an enjoyable and thrilling experience.

To  gain the most from this airplane kit, it is important that you read the instructions thoroughly and then follow them exactly. We  strongly 
suggest that you read through the instructions completely 

before

beginning construction. This will give you a good idea of the construction

sequence and eliminate many questions you might have if you did not read the manual prior to starting the actual construction. Due to the nature
of this design, this airplane is not intended for a beginner’s first model and the instructions are written with this in mind. We assume you have a
working knowledge of airplane and radio terminology.

The first thing you should do before beginning assembly is to check the contents of your kit against the parts list on pages 4. If any parts are
missing, contact your dealer immediately for replacement. Customers in the United States and Canada may contact Ace Hobby Distributors  for
replacement parts.

Under no circumstances can a kit be returned if assembly has already been started.

Experienced pilots who want to maximize their enjoyment of the
Cloud Dancer 60 should consider installation of the optional retracts.
The instructions have complete details.

See your hobby dealer for addition information on these 60 sized
retracts,Thunder Tiger  part  number  3008.

You will also need a 180º retract servo that is compatible with your 5
or more channel radio system.

channels and a 180º Retract Servo that is compatible.)
