Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice of a factory-assembled
model aircraft from the robbe Modellsport range. Many
thanks for placing your trust in us.
The model can be ready for the air when you have completed
just a few simple procedures. Please read right through
these instructions and the separate information sheets
before attempting to assemble and fly the model, as this will
make it much easier to complete the tasks required.
Please study the illustrations and the brief instructions to
obtain a clear understanding of the individual stages of
construction. All parts must be trial-fitted "dry" (without glue)
before you reach for the glue. Assign the individual compon-
ents to the various stages of assembly.
The servos are already installed, connected to the control
surfaces, and fitted with extension leads.
All directions, such as "right-hand", are as seen from the
tail of the model, looking forward.
We constantly strive to update our products to reflect the
latest developments. You can find details of technical
improvements, updates and revised documentation on
