Cong

ratulations and thank y

ou f

r purchasing the

Flite

Gold Edition

Piper Arro

w II.

One of the unique

features of this

op Flite

Gold

kit is the scale

corr

ugations on the v

rtical and hor

ontal stab and on

all of the control surf

aces

The corr

ugations are

optional, b

ut add m

ch to the scale eff

ect of this model.

While this kit can be assemb

led b

inter

mediate

uilders

, note that the corr

ugations tak

e additional time

skill and patience

.Read through the man

ual to see ho

the corr

ugations are made and ho

w the

y are co

vered

bef
ore making a decision.

Should y

ou decide not to

uild y

our Arro

w with corr

ugated control surf

aces

simply replace the die-cut, corr

ugated skins with

regular sheeting (not included).

Another option is to b

ild the plane with fix

ed or

retr

actab

le landing gear

This kit w

as designed to fit

Robar

t retr

acts

, so should y

ou decide to install another

and an

y modifications required w

ould be up to y

ou.

Flaps are another option.

The man

ual is pr

imar

ily

“geared”

ard b

ilding the Arro

with flaps

, b

instr

uctions are also pro

vided f

or b

ilding the model

without flaps

Lastly

, the cabin top is v

acuum-f

med from a clear

PETG plastic sheet.

The windo

w outlines are molded

in.
Finishing the cabin top requires masking, sanding

and painting around the windo

ws
.

Since the cabin

top is molded from PETG, it ma

y be painted with

Flite LustreK

ote

The le

vel of scale detail y

ou wish to achie

is up to

you.

Simply b

ollo

wing the instr

uctions y

ou’ll end up

with a model that v

m
uch represents a Piper Arro

II.
But y

ou could also

“go all-out”

adding e

ven more

scale details to mak

a model that w

ould be a

contender in an

y le

vel of scale competition.
