WARNING! This radio controlled model is NOT a toy. If modified or flown carelessly it could go out of controll and cause serious human injury or property damage. Before flying your airplane, ensure the air field is spacious enough. Always fly it outdoors in safe areas and seek professional advice if you are unexperienced.

ACHTUNG! Dieses ferngesteuerte Modell ist KEIN Spielzeug! Es ist für fortgeschrittene Modellflugpiloten bestimmt, die ausreichende Erfahrung im Umgang mit derartigen Modellen besitzen Bei unsachgemäßer Verwendung kann hoher Personen- und/oder Sachschaden entstehen. Fragen Sie in einem Modellbauverein in Ihrer Nähe um professionelle Unterstützung, wenn Sie Hilfe im Bau und Betrieb benötigen. Der Zusammenbau dieses Modells ist durch die vielen Abbildungen selbsterklärend und ist für fortgeschrittene, erfahrene Modellbauer bestimmt.

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

Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und/oder Wärme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten entstehen. Verwenden Sie ein Warumluftgebläse (Haartrockner) um evtl. Falten aus der Folie zu bekommen. Die Kanten können Sie mit einem Bügeleisen behandeln. Nicht zuviel Hitze anwenden !

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

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

Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned, Firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess epoxy run out.

When joining the wing halves it is extremely important to use plenty of epoxy (30 minutes epoxy).

Use epoxy glue to bury the opening

Ensure that the fuel tank clunk does not touch the rear of the fuel tank.

Checking for leaks - block the vents and blow into the feed - if in doubt submersing the tank in a blow of water will show up any problems.

Carefully slide the stabilizers onto the fuselage, ensuring that they are accurately aligned, Allowing the excess epoxy run out. Clean off the excess epoxy.

When you are satisfied with the alignment, use a pencil to carefully trace around the left and right of the Vertical stabilizer where them meet the fuselage. Note, it is important not to disturb the alignment of the stabilizer. Remove the vertical stabilizer from the fuselage. Using a sharp hobby knife, cut away the covering inside the lines. Not to cut into the wood. Spread epoxy onto the left and right of the vertical stabilizer.

Note: When joining the stabilizer it is extremely important to use plenty of epoxy (30 minutes)

Note: Cut out the stickers and apply them in the proper area. Do not peel the backing paper off all at once. Peel off one corner of the backing and cut off with scissors. Arrange sticker on model and when satisfied adhere the corner without backing. Carefully peel back the rest of the backing while at the same time adhering the rest of the sticker.

Try not to make air bubbles, if there are some, carefully puncture sticker (center of bubble) but not model surface with the tip of the knife or sharp pin and squeeze out the air. At curves stretch sticker and apply a little heat so that no ceases occur. Cut off the excess that is produced.

WARNING ! Securely install the receiver and power pack, ensuring they will not come loose or rattle during flight. Never fly before checking the Cg’s required position.

In order to obtain the CG specified, reposition the receiver and power pack

WARNING

Do not put in a large-than recommended engine. A bigger engine does not necessarily mean better performance.

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.

CHECK THE FREQUENCE BEFORE FLYING

DO NOT FLY NEAR A POWER LINE The power lines cause radio interference, so avoid flying near them.

IMPORTANT:

Please do not clean your model with pure alcohol, only use liquid soap with water or use glass cleaner to clean on surface of your model to keep the colour not fade.
