All the electronics are in installed as you would expect in this ARTF PT-17 Stearman from Dynam. The assembly of the model takes about 2 hours leaving the decals to be applied and setup of your transmitter. We had some small challenges along the way but nothing that could not be resolved with use of some common sense. After assembly this is a good looking RC aircraft that could only be improved with one or two pilot figures to give it that scale finishing touch !

ASSEMBLY TIPS:
1. Drop some medium cyano into the 10 holes before attaching the landing gear with the provided screws.
2. Secure the landing gear strut covers to the metal struts with hot glue and a little transparent tape.
3. Glue the complete tail assembly together and do not rely on the two long screws you put through the bottom of the fuselage.
4. Shorten the carbon tube wing joiner if necessary to achieve a good fit between the 2 lower wing halves.
5. The flying wires should be attached when the struts between the top and bottom wings are attached with the provided bolts.
6. Use threadlock on all bolts.
7. Don't be tempted not to insert a spar in the top wing even if one is not provided. You would not want the top wing to fold in flight !
8. Use short pieces of fuel tubing (or something similar) on each of the plastic clevises that snap onto the horns of each control surface to ensure they stay shut, especially the elevators.
9. It's not obvious but there are 2 holes in either side of the fuselage for routing the wires for the wing tip lights into the fuselage. Tape the wires to the sides of the struts that connect the top wing to the fuselage.
10. It can take some effort to remove the backing from the decals. Persistence pays off.
