Introduction
The STARLET is an attractive electric-powered RC model aircraft which is easy to
transport thanks to its compact dimensions. However, do not let its small size deceive
you: the model requires some prior modelling experience if you are to assemble and
operate it successfully. The aeroplane is highly pre-fabricated, but the work which
you have to carry out is important, and must be done carefully. The model will only be
strong and fly well if you complete your tasks competently. The all-up weight must
not exceed 550 g.

Building instructions
Please read right through these building instructions before you start construction, so
that you have a clear understanding of the sequence of assembly. Before you start
on a particular stage, make sure you have all the requisite components, tools and
adhesives to hand. When assembling the model always work on a clean, smooth, flat
surface, or on a workbench with a foam overlay. Unless stated otherwise, use cyano
adhesive with activator for all joints on this model. The best method is to apply cyano
to one surface, then spray the opposite face with activator. Ensure that excess glue
does not get onto your hands or the model’s finished surfaces. Wipe off excess glue
immediately using a piece of paper towel.
