GET READY TO BUILD

D 1. Unroll the plan sheet. Re-roll it inside out to make it lie

flat. NOTE: If you have a small work area, you may cut the plan
into two sections, "wing" and "fuselage".

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.
Using a felt tip pen, write the part name or size on each piece to
avoid confusion later. Use the die-cut patterns shown below to
identify the die-cut parts and mark them before punching out. Save

all scraps. If any of the die-cutparts are difficult to punch out, do not
force them! Instead, first cut around the parts with an Xacto knife.

NOTE: After punching out the die-cut parts, use your T-Bar 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.
