INTRODUCTION
PRE-ASSEMBLY NOTES
Congratulations on the purchase of one of our finest ARFs to date. This scale replica of the famous Giles
G-202 is as faithful in its appearance as it is in its flight characteristics. Beautifully reproduced using balsa and
ply construction. Covered in durable and easily repairable UltraCote®, this plane is highly visible in the air
and strikingly recognizable on the ground.
Before beginning the assembly read the instructions thoroughly to give an understanding of the sequence
of steps and a general awareness of the recommended assembly procedures.
By following these instructions carefully and referring to the corresponding pictures, the assembly of your
model will be both enjoyable and rewarding. The result will be a well built, easy to assemble ARF model,
which you will be proud to display.
This G202-140 is designed for intermediate to advanced pilots, and this manual assumes a basic knowl-
edge of R/C model construction.
Before you begin, check the entire contents of your kit against the parts list and photos to make sure that
no parts are missing or damaged. This will also help you to become familiar with each component of your
plane. If you find that any of the parts are either missing or damaged, please contact Ace Hobby Distributors,
Inc., Customer Service (660-584-6704) immediately for replacements.
Please read the entire manual before beginning construction.
Neither your dealer nor Ace Hobby Distributors, Inc., can accept kits for return if construction has
begun.
Trial fit each part before gluing it in place. Make sure you are using the correct part and that it fits well
before assembling. No amount of glue can make up for a poor- fitting part.
