The Sportster Bipe 40 was designed for sport flying. This biplane design with symmetrical wings pro-
vides full aerobatic maneuverability, yet has enough wing area for docile low speed capability.
The parts are machine cut and sanded for accurate fit. Should you notice a difference in size between
plans and parts, it is usually because paper changes size with moisture.
Different types of glue may be used such
as epoxy, cyanoacrylate(instant glue) and aliphatic resin (white
glue). Build on a flat surface for straight wings and fuselage.
Please read through this step-by-step instruction manual before you start building
so you will have an
overall idea of the construction steps and to avoid mistakes. Use the plan and parts list to identify the var-
ious parts.
