Thank you for purchasing the WattAge Fokker Dr.1 Triplane EP ARF.  We're confident that the quality of your new airplane 
meets and even exceeds your expectations.  Before completing the final assembly of your new airplane, please carefully 
read through this assembly manual in its entirety.  Doing so will ensure your success the first time around!

This assembly manual is designed to guide you through the entire assembly process of your new airplane in the least amount of time 
possible.  Along the way you'll learn how to properly assemble your new airplane and also learn tips that will help you in the future.  
We have listed some of our recommendations below.  Please read through them before beginning assembly.

  Please read through each step before beginning assembly.  You 

should find the layout very complete and straightforward.  Our goal 

is to guide you through assembly without any of the headaches 
and hassles that you might expect.

  There  are  check  boxes  next  to  each  procedure.    After  you 

complete a procedure, check off the box.  This will help prevent 
you from losing your place.

  Cover your work table with brown paper or a soft cloth, both to 

protect the table and to protect the parts.

  Keep a couple of small bowls or jars handy to put the small parts 

in after you open the accessory bags.

  You might be excited to get your new airplane in the air, but take 

your time.  This will ensure you build a straight, strong and great 

flying airplane.

  If you come across this symbol 

,  it means that this is an 

important point or an assembly hint.
