Congratulations, you have a fine looking scale Twinstar helicopter kit.
The final work is in the balancing of the helicopter
before flying.  With the main blades  and tail
blades installed, pickup by the flybar with your
fingers and look to see how level the helicop-
ter hangs in the fore-aft direction.  If neces-
sary, add nose weight to the to very front
of the fuselage.  This can be glued inside
the front fuselage section infront of the
battery pack.  Generally, 4-6 ounces is
the maximum weight that should be
added to the nose if you are using a
30 size engine.

Do not be concerned that the flybar
comes close to the top of the fuselage.
While working on the helicopter the
angle of the flybar to the main shaft in not
realistic and when in flight, the flybar will
not deflect half the distance possible.

Happy flying with your gorgeous Twinstar fuselage.

For  best results, apply the decals after the paint work is started and all the colors have been applied but before any
clear topcoat has been applied. Following this method will allow the decals to be sandwiched in the finish for
greatest appearance and longevity.

For the kit version, the next couple of pages describe the basic procedure to prepare and paint the fuselage.
