Missile Installation (Optional)
Required Parts
Missile (2) Assembled airframe
Required Tools and Adhesives
Medium CA
Note: The installation of the missiles on your
model is not scale for this paint scheme and
is considered optional. The missiles will be
attached permanently and will not affect the
flight performance.
 1. Locate the missile included with your model.
Inspect each missile to locate the flat areas between
the fins of the missile. These flat areas are the
gluing surfaces used for their installation.
 2. The missile rails on the wing have flat spots that
will correspond to the flat areas on the missile.
 3. Use medium CA to glue the missile to the mount
at the wing tip. Allow the CA to fully cure before
installing the remaining missile.
 4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to install the remaining
missile to the mount on the opposite wing tip.
Removing Fan and Motor
for Servicing or Replacement
Required Tools and Adhesives
6-minute epoxy Mixing cup
Mixing stick Epoxy brush
Paper towel Rubbing alcohol
Sandpaper Hobby knife w/#11 blade
Please note that the hatch is glued in with small
amounts of glue at certain places on the hatch. We
have done this for ease of removal if necessary. If
you have removed your hatch we suggest that you
glue it back in at the same glue locations with a small
amount of 6 minute epoxy. We also suggest that you
use a fresh sharp #11 blade to make all cuts. This will
help make the process easier and the cut line will be
smaller, cleaner and much less noticeable.
 1. Start by using a hobby knife and #11 blade to
cut the decal around the seam of the motor hatch
located at the back of the airframe. Note this hatch
is located at the same point as where the ventral
fins are mounted.
