SMALL PARTS

This kit includes small parts and should not be left

unattended near children as choking and serious injury

could result.

SAFETy PRECAUTIONS

This is a sophisticated hobby Product and not a toy.

It must be operated with caution and common sense

and requires some basic mechanical ability. Failure to

operate this Product in a safe and responsible manner

could result in injury or damage to the Product or

other property. This Product is not intended for use by

children without direct adult supervision. The Product

manual contains instructions for safety, operation and

maintenance. It is essential to read and follow all

the instructions and warnings in the manual, prior to

assembly, setup or use, in order to operate correctly

and avoid damage or injury.

During the course of building your F-86 Sabre we

suggest you use a soft base for the building surface.

Such things as a foam stand, large piece of bedding

foam or a thick bath towel will work well and help

protect the model from damage during assembly.

The wood servo cover will not be used when installing

the recommended E-flite S75 servo for the ailerons. If

you install a smaller servo, you may choose to use the

plywood cover rather than the molded plastic cover.



1. Remove the wood servo cover from the wing. Set

the cover aside.



2. Relocate the string from the aileron opening so

it is near one of the corners. This allows full access

to the opening and prevents accidentally gluing the

string into the wing.

DO NOT remove the string from the wing. The

string will be used to pull the aileron servo

lead through the wing later in this section.



3. Measure and mark the opening for the aileron

servo 3/4-inch (19mm) from the edge closest to

the wing root as shown. The edge of the aileron

servo mount will align with these marks when it is

installed. Center the mount fore/aft in the opening

for the aileron servo.
