Flying Machine

The tail and cab are delivered as pre-cut in a balsa board - DO NOT break out the parts! If some of the wood fibers are still "bound" to the cutting board, carefully separate the part with a sharp knife.

Wash the new rubber band carefully in soapy water and allow to dry. Then lubricate it with castor oil (sold in pharmacies) or silicone grease to lubricate fishing lines (available in fishing tackle shops). After flying, remove the model bundle and keep it in a closed plastic bag. Lubricated rubber bundle unwinds more smoothly and with less friction - gives more power and lasts longer. It is also advisable to run the new bundle first - for the first 2-3 years, record only 80-100 turns before it can safely record more.
