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 !

Center line
1- Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace.
2- Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It should
insert smoothly up to the center line marked above.
3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until
the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be
necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace.
4- Check for the correct dihedral angle.
5- Mix approximately 30 minute epoxy and apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half.
6- 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, marking sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly
7- Do the same way with the other wing half.
8- 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. Clear off the excess epoxy.
WARNING: 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.

With the retract and retract servo in the retracted position, mark the position where each of the pushrod will attach to the servo arm, a small piece of masking tape works well for this. Cut off the excess length each rod.
Link the servo and retract gear arm with push rod. Be sure to adjust the stroke so that the landing gear locks in both up and down position.

IMPORTANT: Flying your model at these throws will provide you with the greatest chance for successful first flights. If, after you have become accustomed to the way the Zero flies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste
, that is fine. However, too much control throw could make the model difficult to control, so remember, “more is not always better”.

How to add noseweight
To get the correct C.G., Several strips of lead weight were required in the nose of this model .
To minimize the amount of weight required, it is desirable to position the weight as far forward
as possible. This can be done by making a
platform form leftover basswood stick and 3.2mm
(1/8”) ply wood. Using 4x35mm bolts to mount the
engine would also be long enough to mount the
flatform. The lead should be permanently glued on
with epoxy.
IMPORTANT: Recheck the C.G. After the weight has been installed.

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.
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.
