WARRANTY

Read this disclaimer carefully before using this product. 

Please strictly follow the instruction manual to assemble 

and use this.

In that Black Horse Model has no control over the final 

assembly or material used for final assembly, Black Horse 

Model is not responsible for loss of use , or other 

incidental or consequential damages.

Furthermore, Black Horse Model cannot be held liable for 

personal injury or property damage caused by the use or 

misuse of  Black Horse Model products. By the act of 

using the user-assembled products, the user accepts all 

resulting liability.

DISCLAIMER

    Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have the 

correct parts and that they fit and are aligned properly 

before gluing! This will assure proper assembly. This kit is 

hand made from natural materials, every plane is unique 

and minor adjustments may have to be made. However, 

you should find the fit superior and assembly simple.

    The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are fuel 

proof. However, they are not tolerant of many harsh 

chemicals including the following: paint thinner, C/A glue 

accelerator, C/A glue debonder and acetone. Do not let 

these chemicals come in contact with the colors on the 

covering and the plastic parts.

    Some parts included in this kit such as the cowl or 

wheel pants are made of fiberglass, the fibers of which 

may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never 

blow into a part to remove fiberglass dust, as the dust will 

blow back into your eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a 

particle mask and rubber gloves when grinding, drilling 

and sanding fiberglass parts. Vacuum the parts and the 

work area thoroughly after working with fiberglass parts.

IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

  To avoid scratching your new airplane, do not unwrap 

the pieces until they are needed for assembly. Cover your 

workbench with an old towel or brown paper, both to 

protect the aircraft and to protect the table. Keep a 

couple of jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts after 

you open the bag.

SUGGESTION

ALWAYS operate in open areas, away from factories, 

hospitals, schools, buildings and houses etc.

NEVER fly your aircraft close to people or built up areas.

NEVER fly near power lines, aerials or other dangerous 

areas including airports, motorways etc.

NEVER fly in wet conditions or on windy or stormy days.

ALWAYS adjust the engine from behind the propeller, and 

do not allow any part of your body to be in line with the 

propeller.

THE PROPELLER IS DANGEROUS Keep fingers, clothing 

(ties, shirt sleeves, scarves) or any other loose objects that 

could be caught or drawn in, away from the propeller. 

Take care at ALL times.

NEVER use damaged or deformed propellers or spinners.

KEEP all onlookers (especially small children and animals) 

well back from the area of operation. This is a flying 

aircraft, which will cause serious injury in case of impact 

with a person or animal.

DO NOT dispose of empty fuel containers on a fire, this 

can lead to an explosion.
