IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
•
When you see the term test fi t in the instructions, it means
that you should fi rst position the part on the assembly
without using any glue, then slightly modify or custom fi t
the part as necessary for the best fi t.
•
Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specifi c type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
•
Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following
steps to get another view of the same parts.
•
The stabilizer, wing incidences, and motor thrust angles
have been factory-built into this model. However, some
technically-minded modelers may wish to check these
measurements anyway. To view this information visit the
web site at www.greatplanes.com and click on “Technical
Data.” Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have
little or no effect on the way your model will fl y, please
expect slight deviations between your model and the
published values.
•
The Nieuport 11 EP is factory-covered with Top Flite
MonoKote ® fi lm. Should repairs ever be required, MonoKote
can be patched with additional MonoKote purchased
separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls, but
some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied
with a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency
a regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes
full instructions for application. Following are the colors
used on this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
Aluminum TOPQ0205 True Red TOPQ0227
Royal Blue TOPQ0221 Jet White TOPQ0204
