BUILDING NOTES

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.
