IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

There are two types of screws used in this kit:

Self-tapping screws are designated
by a number and a length. For example,
#6 x 3/4" [19mm].

Machine screws are designated by a
number, threads per inch, and a length.
For example, 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm].

Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS)
are designated by a number, threads
per inch, and a length. For example,
4-40 x 3/4" [19mm]

When you see the term

test fit in the instructions, it

means that you should first position the part on the assembly
without using any glue, and then slightly modify or custom
fit
the part as necessary for the best fit.

Whenever the term

glue is written you should rely upon

your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.

Whenever just

epoxy is specified you may use either 30-

minute (or 45-minute) epoxy

or 6-minute epoxy. When 30-

minute epoxy is specified it is

highly recommended that you

use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you will
need the working time and/or the additional strength.

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 and wing incidences and engine 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 fly, please expect slight
deviations between your model and the published values.

KIT INSPECTION

Before starting to build, take an inventory of this kit to make
sure it is complete, and inspect the parts to make sure
they are of acceptable quality. If any parts are missing or
