glue. Use masking tape to hold the canopy in place while the
glue dries.

6 Install your propeller and the included spinner onto the

motor shaft. Prepare the model for balancing by installing the
wing using two 3mm x 25mm Phillips machine screws and
two 3mm fl at washers.

Optional Landing Gear

The P-40 Warhawk ARF includes optional landing gear
for those modelers who choose to sport fl y the model and
would benefi t from using landing gear. The included landing
gear is recommended for paved runways only. If you plan
to fl y the P-40 Warhawk ARF in combat competition, we
suggest omitting the gear for reduced weight and increased
maneuverability.

1. Locate and remove the covering from the landing gear

slots on the underside of the wing.

2. Using four 3mm wheel collars and four 3mm set screws,

temporarily install the wheels onto the landing gear, centering
them on the axles. Tighten the set screws against the axles.
