• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet metal screws are designated by a number and a
length. For example #6 x 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 x 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 fit in the instructions, it means
that you should first position the part on the assembly
without using any glue, then slightly modify or custom fit the
part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just epoxy is specified you may use either 30-
minute ( or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When 30-
minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that you
use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you will
need the working time and/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 Great Planes Super Sportster 40 MK II ARF is factory-
covered with Top Flite MonoKote
® film. 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.
