of temperature. Smooth out as explained right.
* Use an iron or heat gun. Start as low setting. Increase the
setting if necessary. If it is too high, you may damage the
covering.

one of the wing panels. It should
insert smoothly up to the center line

marked. Next, slide the other wing half
onto the dihedral brace until the wing panels
meet. If the fit is overly tight, it may be necessary to lightly sand the
dihedral brace.
3- Check for the correct dihedral angle
4- Apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing
half. Next, 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.
5- Do the same way with the other wing half. 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. Clean off the
excess epoxy with kerosene and a paper towel.
6- Apply masking tape at the wing joint to hold the wing together securely while the epoxy cures. (Or using litter
CA glue )
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.

Pre-flight check
Check that each clevis is securely snapped into position.
Check that all servo horn screws are tight.
Charge the transmitter and receiver battery.
RANGE TEST YOUR RADIO
Fully extend the transmitter and receiver antenna.
Turn on the radio in your plane. With your plane on the ground, you should be able to walk 30 paces away
from your plane and still have complete control of all functions. If not, do NOT attempt to fly.
Be sure that your batteries are fully charged per the instructions included with your radio
Check the operation and direction of the elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle:

CAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
Ensure the airfield is spacious enough.
Ensure the spinner and propeller are securely attached. Immediately disure defective propeller as well as deformed
spinners.
Adjust the engine always from behind, but never from infront or the sides as rotating propeller may badly injure you.
Do not allow watching people to get too close to a rotating propeller.
Always take off and landing your airplane into the wind.
Switch off the transmitter and receiver after landing.
Do not fly your airplane above people standing around.
WARNING
Do not put in a large-than recommended engine. A bigger engine does not necessarily mean better
performance.
Please do not clean your model with pure alcohol, only use liquid soap with water or use class
cleaner to clean on surface of your model to keep the colour not fade.
