This instruction 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.

We're all excited to get a 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

this is an important point or an assembly hint.
