IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
● 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 Avistar Elite RTF is factory-covered with Top Flite ®
MonoKote ® fi lm. Should repairs ever be required, MonoKote
can be patched with additional MonoKote purchased
separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls, but
some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied
with a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a
regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full
instructions for application. Following are the colors used
on this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
Orange TOPQ0202 Royal Blue TOPQ0221
Missile Red TOPQ0201 Jet White TOPQ0204
● 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.hobbico.com and click on “Technical Data.”
Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no
effect on the way your model will fl y, please expect slight
deviations between your model and the published values.
