Congratulations!

You now own the most accurate  R/C Stand-Off Scale kit ever produced.

We at Top Flite hope  that you will find this model the most pleasant to build,

inspiring to look at and exciting to  fly  that  you  have  constructed.

It is honest to point out, however, that while  this  model is no more  difficult - in

fact is simpler than most  comparable  kits to  make, R/C Scale  models generally are not
for the newcomer to this hobby. Previous modeling experience and  careful  attention to

craftsmanship are  necessary. Even the "old hand" will do well to study and follow the
instructions and guidance  given in this booklet.

It is our aim to have you say: "This is the finest model I have ever built."

TOP FLITE MODELS, INC.
