Special Notes • Due to temperature changes during transportation and storage, the airplane you

receive might have wrinkles on the covering. This could be removed by applying a little heat gun for bigger wrinkles and using a pin for small bubbles.

• The pushrods that came with this plane are uncut and unbent. Be sure to cut the pushrods to the proper length.

• This airplane is intended for intermediate to advanced modelers with experience with previous airplanes. Please use the same caution and judgments as in your previous ARFs.
