D 2. Thoroughly clean your airplane before applying
decals.

D 3. Trim the decals as close as practical. Carefully apply

the decals to the model. You can float the decals into

position by first applying soapy water (two or three drops of

dish detergent to a quart of water) to the model's surface,

then smoothing on the decal Squeegee out excess water

using a credit card wrapped with a tissue Blot the surface

dry and let the decals cure for at least 12 hours before

running the engine.

D 4. Most of the panel lines and access hatches are
included on your decal sheet. The two straight black lines
at the bottom of the sheet may be used to create an outline
of the door.

D 5 An identification label is also provided for your
convenience and complies with AMA guidelines. Be sure to
cover the label with the clear protective frame.

NOTE: Certain text decals are provided and may be used

at your discretion.

We recommend Top Flite LustreKote" primer and color coat

for all plastic parts.

Surface preparation

Spray the cowl, nacelles, canopy and tip tanks with a

thin coat of primer. Add a second coat of primer to areas
that need it It's best to allow the primer to dry overnight
before sanding Wet sand the primer with 320 and 400 grit
sandpaper Most of the primer should be sanded off.

Apply the colors

Spray the parts with several light coats of Top Flite LustreKote,

allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.

NOTE: The decal sheet gives you everything you need to

completely trim your model, except for the red stripes.

D 1. Study the photos on the box to decide where to place
the decals.

D 1. Plug the required servo extension leads and all
servos into the receiver, following the manufacturers'

instructions If using retracts, you need to install a "Y" cord
in the retract position as you will be using two servos Wrap

the receiver in a layer of 1/4" foam rubber (HCAQ1000),
then secure in place with scrap balsa and a couple of
rubber bands.

D 2. Install the receiver switch wherever you choose
between F-5 and F-6

Hint: The most inconspicuous location is below the nacelle
pylons. We used a Great Planes Switch/Charging Jack
(GPMM1000) as it offers both functions in one small unit.
Connect the switch to the receiver.
