Important Information:
Please inspect the plane before beginning to assemble to make sure you are happy
with it. After assembly has begun you cannot return the kit. If you find a problem
before beginning to assemble the plane you must contact us, please do not return
it to the dealer. Due to temperature changes the plane may develop some wrinkles
in the covering that you will need to remove with an iron. Be sure to seal the edges
down first so that you do not cause the covering to shrink and leave exposed areas
of wood. The model is built light to ensure good flight characteristics. With the
power available from the new breed of engines, it is necessary to use throttle man-
agement in order not to overstress the airframe. You must maintain good tight con-
trol linkage with no slop, good servos with plenty of power, and good servo arms
to protect against flutter. Sloppy linkage and overspeeding the plane will cause flut-
ter which is not covered in the warranty. Lanier R/C is proud of the care and atten-
tion that goes into the manufacture of parts for its model kits. The company war-
rants that for a period of 30 days, it will replace, at the buyers request, any parts
