damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts,
contact the place of purchase.
Using the Manual

Checking theWingWashout
Required Parts
Wing
Required Tools and Adhesives
Heat gun
❍1. Place the wing on a flat surface and check the
wing washout. There must be 1/2" (13mm)
between the trailing edge of the wing at the tip
and work surface when the center of the wing
is flat against the work surface. If the wing is
not twisted correctly, hold the wing in a twisted
position and use a heat gun to remove the
wrinkles from the covering. Repeat the process
until the correct washout is present. The
washout makes the plane more stable in flight.
8
❍2. Secure the wing to the fuselage using a 4-40 x
1/2" socket head bolt and a #4 flat washer.
Note: The 4-40 socket head screw uses the
3/32" hex wrench.

Join theVertical Fin and Horizontal
Stabilizer
Required Parts
Vertical fin
Horizontal stabilizer
Required Tools and Adhesives
Medium CA
Square
Felt-tipped pen
Hobby knife
❍1. Draw two lines on the top of the stabilizer
extending back from the sides of the notch in
the front to the trailing edge. Use a square to
make the lines 90-degrees to the trailing edge
of the stabilizer.
Note: The hole for the control horn will be on the
left side when the top is facing up.
9
❍2. Carefully remove the covering along the lines
using a sharp hobby knife. Be very careful not
to cut into the underlying wood and weaken
the stabilizer. If the stabilizer is weakened, it
could fail in flight.
❍3. Align a straight edge along the bottom of the
fin. Use a felt-tipped pen to draw a line onto
the lower front section of the fin. Draw lines on
both sides of the fin.
