5. You must test the operation of the model before every
flight to insure all equipment is operating, and you must
make certain the model has remained structurally sound.
Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often and
replace them if they show signs of wear or fatigue.
NOTE: We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top
quality kit and great instructions, but ultimately the quality of
your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore,
we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your
completed model, and no representations are expressed or
implied as to the performance or safety of your completed
model arirplane.
Remember: Take your time and follow directions to end
up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
Please inspect all parts carefully before starting to build!

airplane, please call us at (217) 398-8970. If you are

DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE
Engine Selection
There are several engines that will work well in your
Dazzler 40. We recommend a hot 2-stroke such as an
O.S.
® .40FX or SuperTigre ™ G45. For unsurpassed
power and realistic sound, an O.S. FS-52 Surpass ™
4-stroke can’t be beat. The engine you select will
determine how you build the firewall section, so it is
important that you have the engine close at hand while
building.
