Detail Instructions:
This manual has been written to cover the assembly of the Twinstar scale helicopter kit and the ARF Painted
version. This is the detail construction of the Twinstar fuselage components that work in cooperation with the
scale mechanics instruction manual. For modelers building the kit version, all mechanics fitting (landing gear,
muffler exhaust, tail gearbox, fuel system components and radio mounting) must be completed before the fuselage
is painted as this will reveal any addition access holes that need to be cut-out. This is much simpler before painting
is complete.

Level 1. Beginners will follow all steps and sections in order as they are laid out, this is a longer process that
involves building the mechanics completely, running-in the engine and then disassembling the helicopter to
install into the completed fuselage.
Level 2. Intermediate to expert modelers can complete the fuselage and build & install the helicopter simulta-
neously using a previously run-in engine.
