Safety First
This product is intended for use as a RC aircraft
for intermediate to advanced pilots
.
It should not be
used or thought of as a Toy
. This product is capable
of speeds in excess of 50 MPH, and just like real
aircraft this model could cause damage to people or
property. Do not operate this kit in the vicinity of real
aircraft or groups of people. This model has a mid-
mounted propeller. This design feature is safer then a
nose or tail mounted prop. However special care should
be used around the propeller.
Propellers can cause
damage and injuries
. Please check local laws,
restrictions and park rules in your area in regards to
operating RC aircraft. Joining a local RC aircraft club
is a great idea. Your local hobby shop will have
information on local RC clubs. If you are not
experience with this type of RC model seek out the
help of an experienced RC pilot or instructor for your
first few flights.
Please take your time in building your kit. Follow the
directions in this manual. You must build this kit strong
and true. Do not alter or modify this kit, it will change
the flight characteristics in ways that may not be
predictable. Yardbird RC has worked diligently to
provide a quality kit. However the final assembly
and airworthiness of this kit will depend on how you
build it. Because Yardbird RC has no control over the
final assembly of this kit we don’t guarantee the flight
characteristics safety or airworthiness of this kit.

Building Instructions
Each step is numbered so follow the order; don’t
skip ahead. The picture or pictures for each step is
placed before the written instructions. You should
look at the picture and read the instructions
thoroughly before completing each step
.
Glue: Read the instruction for the glue you decide
to use with this kit. Use only foam safe glue. Use the
test piece of foam to test the glue before using it on
the rest of the kit. Remember glue adds weight. Too
little glue and the joint will be weak; too much the
aircraft will lose performance or not fly at all. We
recommend that you use Yardbird RC Ultimate RC
Foam Glue for the best results.
