Remove the fuselage, wing panels, rudder assembly and
stabilizer assembly from their bags. Inspect all items closely
to check for any damage. If any damage is found, contact
the place where your Spirit ARF was purchased, or Hobby
Services, to obtain a replacement for your damaged items.
If any of the control surfaces are attached, simply pull them
apart and store the hinges in a safe place until it is time to
re-attach them.
Your Spirit ARF is covered using Top Flite MonoKote ®
covering. Eliminate any wrinkles you find in the covering by
shrinking them away with a heat gun. Then, apply pressure
to the area with a covering iron and a hot sock. This will
securely bond the covering to the wood so the wrinkles will
be less likely to reappear in the future.
Several times during construction we refer to the “top” or
“bottom” of the model or a part of the model. It is understood
that the “top” or “bottom” of the model is as it would be when
the airplane is right side up and will be referred to as the
“top” even if the model is being worked on upside-down.
