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.

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 midmounted 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 modal 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 assemble of this kit we don’t guarantee the flight

Kit Construction
Step 1.
Step 4.
Use care when working with the X-ACTO knife!
Use the X-ACTO knife to remove the milling tabs on all
the foam parts.
Step 2.
Glue the flat side of the 24 inch carbon fiber wing spar to the aft wing
deck.
Step 5.
Test fit and glue the 12 inch long carbon fiber rod into the channel at
the bottom of the aft wing deck. This side of the aft wing assembly
should be face up until after step 19.
Step 6.
Test fit the left and right wing deck together. Make sure
that the surface being used to work on is completely flat.
Step 3.
Make sure that all joints are clean before gluing.
Glue the two wing deck pieces together. Care should
be taken to make sure the two pieces are completely flat
when glued together. Use two large books to hold the
pieces together and flat against the table. Be careful not
to glue the assembly to the table. Don’t remove books
until glue is set.
Test fit.
Step 7.
Apply glue from the right wing tip to this point shown in the above
picture. Repeat for the left side.
