Description

REMOVING WRINKLES

The covering of your model may develop wrinkles during shipping and will require the use of a heat gun (HAN100)
and covering glove (HAN150) or covering iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron sock (HAN141) to remove them. Use
caution while working around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors. Avoid using too much
heat, which could separate the colors. Placing a cool damp cloth on adjacent colors will also help in preventing the
separation of the colors while removing wrinkles.

BUILDING PRECAUTIONS

Prepare the work surface prior to beginning the build. The surface should be soft and free of any sharp objects. We
recommend resting the airframe parts on a soft towel or pit mat to prevent scratching or denting the surface of the
aircraft.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

When transporting and storing your model, you will need a minimum of 80 inches (2m) in length, and 18 inches
(46cm) in height to accommodate the size of the fuselage. We also recommend the use of wing and stabilizer bags to
help protect these surfaces during transport and storage. The control horns and linkages can cause damage to other
surfaces even when placed in storage bags. Always transport and store the wings and stabilizer so the linkages do not
contact other panels to prevent damage.

REPLACEMENT COVERING

Your model is covered with UltraCote ® fi lm in the following colors. If repairs are required, order these coverings to
make those repairs.
White HANU870
Black HANU874
Red HANU871
We have found the Testors Red Paint Marker (TES2503C) matched the red used on the Fokker D.VII and can be used for
touch-up on all the painted parts.

NOSE WEIGHT

To maintain the scale outline of your model, it will require the addition of nose weight to properly balance. Testing
has been performed on all power options. Using a heavier engine or motor will help in reducing the amount of weight
required. Make sure to use proper throttle management when fl ying with these larger and more powerful options. Our
test aircraft with the recommended Evolution ®
1
side of the fuel tank required 1 / lbs (680g) of nose weight. Using the Evolution 33GX may require the addition of up
2
to 6 lbs (2.7kg) to proerly balance your model. This may vary from plane to plane. Add this weight as far forward in the
fuselage as possible to reduce the amount required to balance. This weight must be secure so it does not come loose
in fl ight, causing an unsafe model which could result in the loss of the aircraft.

CHECKING BLIND NUTS

When building the aircraft, you will be required to thread machine screws into blind nuts. We recommend pre-threading
the screws to make sure the blind nuts are clear of any debris. If the screws do not thread in easily, clear the threads
using the appropriate tap and tap handle.
