Get Ready To Build
D 1 Unroll the plan sheets. Reroll the plans inside out to
make them lie flat
D 2. Remove all parts from the box. As you do, figure out
the name of each part by comparing it with the plans and
the parts list included with this kit Most part numbers start
with CRS4 This identifies the kit The numbers following
CRS4 identify the part Using a felt-tip or ballpoint pen,
lightly write the part name or size on each piece to avoid
confusion later Use the die-cut patterns shown on page 6
to identify the die-cut parts and mark them before removing
them from the sheet Save all scraps If any of the die-cut
parts are difficult to remove, do not force them' Instead, cut
around the parts with a hobby knife After removing the die-
cut parts, use your Easy-Touch Bar Sander or sanding
block to lightly sand the edges to remove any die-cutting
irregularities.
D 3 As you identify and mark the parts, separate them into
groups, such as fuse (fuselage), wing, fin, stab (stabilizer)
and hardware.
