If exposed to direct sunlight and / or heat, wrinkles can appear. Storing the model in a coll place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove wrinkles in covering film with a hairdryer, starting with low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.

Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und / oder Warme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten entstehen. Verwenden Sie ein Warumluftgeblase (Haartrockner) um evtl. Falten aus der Folie zu bekommen. Die Kanten konnen Sie mit einem Bugeleisen behandeln. Nicht zuviel Hitze anwenden

Draw the center line on the wing joiner

- Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain that there are no gaps. If the parts will join, but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts a little at a time until the parts meet exactly with no gaps.

- Check for the correct dihedral angle

Before gluing:

- Draw the center line on the wing joiner.

Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line.

Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Note: The two wing halves roots must fit together perfectly. Clear off the excess epoxy.

! Make sure to glue securely, If not properly glued, a failure in flight may occur.

IMPORTANT:

Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use kerosene to keep the colour of your model not fade.

Securely glue together. If coming off during flight, you lose control of your air plane.

Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain that there are no gaps. If the parts will join, but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts a little at a time until the parts meet exactly with no gaps.

When joining the stabilizer it is extremely important to use plenty of epoxy (30 minutes) or CA glue (thin type)

Push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. There should be a minimal hinge gap and the end of the elevator should not rub against the horizontal stabilizer. When satisfied with the and alignment, hinge the elevator to the horizontal stabilizer using thin CA glue. Make sure to apply a thin layer of CA glue to the top and bottom of both hinges and to inside the hinge slots. Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second elevator to the other side of the horizontal stabilizer.

Attach the board or transparent plastic on the side of the fuselage with the adhesive tape as show. Using a pencil or felt tipped pen trace around the engine head where it meet the cowl. Cut the opening the board or transparent plastic for the engine head as marked above. Remove the engine and insert the cowl on to the fuselage so the distance from the fire wall to the front of the cowl is 116 to 118mm . Remove the cowl from the fuselage and carefully cut the opening for the engine head as marked above. Do the same way with the hole for needle-valve. Again. Insert the cowl on to the fuselage and secure it in place with four 2x5mm screws.

BEFORE FLYING CHECK EVERYTHING Before each flight, inspect the airplane for any loose parts. Check the hinges, make sure the pushrods are still firmly attached, and check the engine mounting bolts. In general, check everything on the plane that might possibly come loose.

Der Schwerpunkt sollte zwischen 88 mm und 92 mm hinter der Nasenleiste liegen. Für die ersten Flüge empfiehlt es sich, den Schwerpunkt an den vorderen angegebenen Punkt zu legen. Falls erforderlich muss dies durch Ankleben von Blei erreicht werden.
