IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
● There are three types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet Metal Screws are designated by a number and a
length. For example #6

3/4" [19mm].
This is a number six screw
that is 3/4" [19mm] long.
Machine Screws are designated by a number,
threads per inch, and a length. For example
4-40

3/4" [19mm].
This is a number four screw
that is 3/4" [19mm] long with
forty threads per inch.
● When you see the term test fi t in the instructions, it means
that you should fi rst position the part on the assembly
without using any glue, then slightly modify or custom
fi t the part as necessary for the best fi t.
● Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specifi c type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
● We recommend 30-minute epoxy only, because you will
need the working time or the additional strength.
● Photos and sketches are placed before the step they refer
to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps to
get another view of the same parts.
● The Extra 300SP EP is factory-covered with Top Flite
MonoKote fi lm. Should repairs ever be required, MonoKote
can be patched with additional MonoKote purchased
separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls, but
some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied
with a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a
regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full
instructions for application. Following are the colors used
on this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
TOPQ0203 - Yellow TOPQ0202 - Orange
