Great Planes Pete 'n Poke 40 Kit - GPMA0493 - Manual (Page 5)

❏
1. Unroll the plan sheets. Roll the plan sheets inside out
to make them lie flat.
❏
2. Remove all the parts from the box. As you do,
determine the name of each part by comparing it with the
plan and the parts list. Use a ballpoint pen (not a felt-tip pen)
to lightly write the name or size on each piece so you can
identify it later. Use the die-cut patterns on pages 6 & 7 to
identify and mark the die-cut parts before you remove them
from their die sheets. Many of the parts already have
numbers stamped on them, but in some cases the numbers
are located alongside the parts or only on the die drawings
in the manual. You may remove all the die-cut parts from
their die sheets now or wait until you need them. If a part is
difficult to remove, don’t force it out but cut around it with a
hobby knife and a #11 blade. After you remove the parts
from their die sheets, lightly sand the edges to remove
slivers or die-cutting irregularities. Save some of the larger
scraps of wood.
❏
3. As you identify and mark the parts, separate them into
groups, such as fuse (fuselage), wing, and tail.
