Before beginning assembly of your Matrix 40,
we highly recommend that you study this manu-
al in its entirety. You should begin planning your
radio installation based on your choice of
engine and equipment from the beginning, as
space is limited within the fuselage of the
Matrix 40.
Because the Matrix 40 is intended for those
with some degree of modeling experience,
every minute detail will not be covered. This is
not a basic trainer. Assembly of this aircraft will
be easy for the experienced modeler, and by
following the instructions within this manual and
using the skills you’ve gained during your mod-
eling career you will be able to produce a first
class aircraft.

1. Begin construction by locating the fuselage,
wing, wing bolts, washers, and the horizontal
stab. Using a #11 blade, remove the covering
from the stab location at the rear of the fuselage.
2. Insert the stab into the slot and center using
a tape measure or ruler to measure from the
fuselage side to the tip of the stab.
3. With the stab centered, measure from one tip
to the back of the wing cut out. Move stab until
this figure is the same on both sides.
