Carl Goldberg Products Gentle Lady ARF, Owner'S Manual

Using This Instruction Manual 

Before you start gluing take some time to look through this entire

instruction booklet. It is designed to guide you through the con-

struction process step by step, so build in the order given in this

book. Radio selection and installation, covering, and balancing

and flying the model are all covered. 

Like a full-size airplane, the Gentle Lady is built from basic

structures (stabilizer, fin, wing, etc.), which are then assembled

into the complete airplane.

Special procedures or comments will usually be explained before

a step, so you will be prepared. If a step begins with a statement
like “Note,” “Warning,” or “Important,” it is a good idea to read
through the step before doing it. 

A check-off box appears at the beginning of each step. Check

these boxes as you build, so you can tell at a glance what steps you

have completed. 

Some of the instructions deal with general procedures. Boxes are

not needed for these sections.

Preparing For Assembly 

You will need a area approximatly 18” x 36” in order to build the

Gentle Lady ARF.

Place a sheet of waxed paper or plastic

kitchen wrap over the work area to prevent CA from sticking to
your table. 

Construction Tips 

If you have never assembled a built-up model before, the follow-

ing tips will prove helpful.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS READ A FEW STEPS AHEAD. This

will alert you to coming instructions and will help you plan
accordingly. 

You may find it convenient to empty all of the small parts from

the hardware bags into a common container, such as a margarine
tub. This will help you find items quickly. 

When drilling any 1/16” holes in balsa, you may find it easier to

twist the drill between your thumb and index finger. This proce-
dure allows more control in positioning the drill on the center
mark.
