Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make
assembly easier to understand, and to provide breaks
between each major section. In addition, check boxes
have been placed next to each step to keep track of each
step completed. Steps with a single circle () are performed
once, while steps with two circles () indicate that the
step will require repeating, such as for a right or left wing
panel, two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
