Introduction
The PILOT is a beginner's model glider with particular emphasis on simple construction and
good flying performance.
The model fulfils the requirements of the A1 competition class, and is designed to be fitted
with a dethermaliser (DT), which effectively prevents the model flying away. The glider
performs extremely well when tow-launched.
The clearly laid-out quick-build plan and photos make a significant contribution to the
model's ease of construction, and the components are numbered to correspond with the
sequence of assembly. To shorten the building time, the materials included in the quick-
build kit are highly pre-fabricated, and the various plastic parts are moulded in a material
which takes glue well. The individual plastic parts should be removed carefully from the
moulding sprue using a sharp knife. The laser-cut parts must be c u t o u t - not broken
out! - from the sheets using a sharp balsa knife or razor blade. Laser-cut sheet B in the kit
includes two spare wing ribs (20) in case you damage the standard items.
Please read and observe the safety notes at the end of the building instructions.
