Great Planes Cessna 182 Skylane 40 ARF - GPMA1228 - Manual (Page 4)

Remove the fuselage, wing panels, rudder assembly and
stabilizer assembly from their bags. Inspect all items closely
to check for any damage. If any of the control surfaces are
attached, simply pull them apart and store the hinges in a
safe place until it is time to re-attach them. The manual
begins with all the surfaces shown separated.
Your Cessna 182 is covered with high quality Top Flite
MonoKote
® covering. If any of the covering has loosened,
use a heat gun or sealing iron to correct any of these
problems.
Several times during construction we refer to the “top” or
“bottom” of the model or a part of the model. It is understood
that the “top” or “bottom” of the model is as it would be when
the airplane is right side up and will be referred to as the
“top” even if the model is being worked on upside-down.
