COMMENTS: Wings are equipped with dual aileron servo trays if dual aileron
servos are desired. If you wish to use flaperons you will need to
upgrade your radio system to 6 channels. The instruction manual
list parts needed and information to perform these conversions.

The metal straps described on page 13 for the engine mount are not
included with the kit.

The Great Planes 8oz fuel tank (GPMQ4103) can be used as a
replacement tank but some modifications will be required as the
stopper will not come through the hole in the firewall because of
the lip on the tank. The rubber bumpers in the fuselage bracing
must be removed and the bracing may require further trimming.

*Because the .46LA dimensions are different than a bearinged engine,
it will not work in this plane unless modifications are made. You
will need a different engine mount. Depending on which engine
mount is used, you may need to add aprox. 1/4" to 3/8" plywood
to the firewall to extend the prop forward enough to keep it from
contacting the fuselage.
