Note: The very first run of this kit had a problem with the firewall
not being punched from the proper side. Be sure the modeler
has the addendum if they have a first run kit. 5/99 amc
NOSEWEIGHT:
Please also note that depending upon your engine selection the model
may require noseweight, up to 8-10 oz. This model has a HUGE
wing loading and this additional weight is NOT an issue at all;
in fact it is part of the design of the aircraft to keep it as
light as possible for the smallest lightest engine's flying.
NOTE: The model is considered to be an easy build. It is
not a complex scale model that requires extensive
labor during assembly. The model builds in less time
than most sport models, for example, an ultrasport
or similar. However, this is a nostalgia style aircraft
and, as such, is more of a 'builders kit' than some of
the more modern kit styles.
This kit is NOT designed or intended to be a first airplane
nor are the instructions written for a first time builder.
Decal set SP15D01 sold only through GP Manufacturing includes:
Two 6" x 2-1/8" maroon, black and white SlowPoke logos.
