•
Whenever just
epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
•
Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
•
The stabilizer and wing incidences have been factory-
built into this model. However, some technically-minded
modelers may wish to check these measurements anyway.
To view this information visit the web site at

to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no effect
on the way your model will fly, please expect slight
deviations between your model and the published values.
