IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

•  When you see the term test fi t in the instructions, it 
means that you should fi rst position the part on the assembly 
without using any glue, then slightly modify or custom fi t 
the part as necessary for the best fi t.

•  Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon 
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When 
a specifi c type of adhesive works best for that step, the 
instructions will make a recommendation.

•  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 and motor thrust 
angles 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 www.greatplanes.com and click on “Technical Data.” 
Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no 
effect on the way your model will fl y, please expect slight 
deviations between your model and the published values.
