• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet metal screws are designated by a number and a
length.
For example #6 x 3/4"
Machine screws are designated by a number, threads per
inch, and a length.
For example 4-40 x 3/4"
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" long with forty
threads per inch.
• When you see the term “test fit” in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify or
“custom fit” the part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term “glue” is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just “epoxy” is specified you may use either
30-minute epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When 30-minute epoxy
is specified it is highly recommended that you use only
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy because you will need the
working time and/or the additional strength.
• Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study the photos following each
step to get another view of the same parts.
• Use a single-edge razor blade to cut the balsa sticks when
building the tail surfaces. Use T-pins to hold the sticks in
position over the plan until it is completed and it’s time to
take the structure off the plan.
• For clarity, some assemblies are photographed off the plan,
even though you should be building over the plan where
indicated.
IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

building a well finished model. Great Planes makes a complete
