ASSEMBLY
A. B.
NOTE: Your Mk1a Spitfire comes with a choice of two scale markings/decals to choose
from. Application of these decals is highly recommended BEFORE you begin
assembly of the model. Please refer to ‘Decal application’ on pages 13-22 of this
manual for illustrated guides on how to apply each set.
1. Out of the box your Spitfire comes with reinforced foam hinges. However before assembly can
begin, each hinge line must be flexed back and forth 5-6 times to reduce tension and load on the
servo. Do this for all control surfaces before continuing.

1.7x6mm
3. Insert one half of the carbon tail spar into one of the horizontal tail pieces before sliding this half
into the tail slot of the fuselage. Now install the remaining tail piece (A). Secure both halves in
place with the supplied 2.3x6mm screws (B) and the elevator join with the single 1.7x6mm screw
(C). This installation is self aligning, but do double check to ensure equal alignment to the vertical
tail and wing.
