## Transport and store

The RVJET comes packed in a foam interior which can be used to

transport and store your model in between flights

( when used with the long wings small adjustments are necessary) 

## Long wing

Wing span 1.95m. This configuration enables longer

flight times and carrying capacity. It’s also easier to

hand launch.



## Short wing

Wing span 1.55m. This configuration

enables faster response on the roll axis

RVJET Airframe Assembly Instruction 

## !! IMPORTANT !!

 Please read through the complete instructions prior to assembly and follow them...

 Test fit each part before applying glue

 Make sure you know how and where you intend to install electronics before gluing parts together

 The servo must be centred and the servo horn must be attached before it is glued into the wing

 Ensure that the skid and motor mount is properly glued to the fuselage

 CA glue is recommended to use
