BEFORE ASSEMBLY

CONSTRUCTION HINTS:

1.IMPORTANT! Trial fiteach part before gluing.

Becertain thatthe parts fitproperly.

2.Use PlastiZapor a thintypeCyanoacrylate glue for

installingtheplasticparts.Do not use too much,as it

may run and spoil the appearance.

3.It is best to use 30minute(orlonger)epoxy for

assembly.This

will

allow time to position

the

parts

before theepoxy cures.

4. Before assembly, place your radio system on charge.

5.There is a metricruleron page 3 to aid in findingthe

correct screw or partsizes.
