Description

PRINTED COVERING NOTES

• The covering used on your model has the coloring and markings printed directly on the covering.
• The covering has a self-adhesive backing. Heat can be applied to shrink the covering, just not direct heat as this
will damage the covering. Use a covering iron on low and place a piece of parchment or covering backing between
the model and covering iron to disperse the heat. A heat gun can also be used to shrink the covering. Apply heat
sparingly (2-3 seconds) and use a glove to press the covering in convex curves.
• Use only mild cleaning agents on the printed fi nish. Denatured alcohol is the most aggressive agent we recommend,
but test on an inconspicuous area fi rst. Prolonged use will remove the printed detail.
• Use tape with care. Anything other than low-tack tape can remove the fi nish, particularly on edges.
• Avoid contact with raw fuel, especially alcohol-based fuels containing nitro methane. Prolonged exposure to fuel or
chemicals may damage to the printed covering.
• Remove exhaust residue as soon as practical to avoid staining or damaging of the fi nish.
There are two areas on your aircraft that will receive wear under normal use. The fi rst area is where the cowlings fi t
wing sections, and the sides of the nacelles. Placing the soft side of hook and loop tape inside the cowling will reduce
the wear on the covering in these areas. Sanding the inside of the cowling smooth will also help prevent wear of the
covering under the cowling.
Additional covering has been supplied with your model in case repairs are needed.

BUILDING PRECAUTIONS

Prepare the work surface prior to beginning the build. The surface should be soft and free of any sharp objects. We
recommend resting the airframe parts on a soft towel or pit mat to prevent scratching or denting the surface of the
aircraft.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Use the three-view drawing at the back of the manual to determine how much room will be required to transport
and store your model. We also recommend the use of wing and stabilizer bags to help protect these surfaces during
transport and storage. The control horns and linkages can cause damage to other surfaces even when placed in
storage bags. Always transport and store the wings and stabilizer so the linkages do not contact other panels to
prevent damage.

CHECKING BLIND NUTS

When building the aircraft, you will be required to thread machine screws into blind nuts. We recommend pre-threading
the screws to make sure the blind nuts are clear of any debris. If the screws do not thread in easily, clear the threads
using the appropriate tap and tap handle.
