Comments

• Wings are equipped with dual aileron servo trays if dual aileron servos are desired. If you wish to use flaperons you will need to upgrade your radio system to 6 channels. The instruction manual list parts needed and information to perform these conversions.

• The metal straps described on page 13 for the engine mount are not included with the kit.

• If a replacement fuel tank is needed, an 8oz (240cc) tank like SULQ1439 can be used. Some minor modification may be needed as this is not the exact shape of the original tank

• *Because the .46LA dimensions are different than a bearinged engine, it will not work in this plane unless modifications are made. You will need a different engine mount. Depending on which engine mount is used, you may need to add aprox. 1/4" to 3/8" plywood to the firewall to extend the prop forward enough to keep it from contacting the fuselage.

• *If a Tower .46 is being use, you will need to use an muffler extension. The Dubro 699 Muffler Extension DUBG1319 will work fine.

• *The steel wing joiner rod used in this model can be substituted with the the rod from the Hobbico AviStar/SuperStar Select(HCAA3722)
