left to the builder to decide when best to paint the model's
components.
We recommend only acrylic-based or synthetic enamel paints
for this model. These paints are available in spray cans and in
jars for brush application.
If you have access to "proper" spraying equipment we recom-
mend the use of two-pack enamels or acrylic paints intended
for car finishing.
We suggest that you finish the boat in the colour scheme
shown in the kit box illustrations.
Radio control equipment
We recommend that you install the RC components listed on
the separate sheet. If you prefer to use components other than
those recommended you can still follow the basic arrange-
ment shown, but you may have to make allowance for diffe-
rences in component size.
It is a good idea to connect the RC system initially and switch
it on, as this sets all the servos to neutral. Check that all the
transmitter sticks and trims are at centre when you do this.
Water may get inside the hull and collect in the bilges. Bear
