US Aircore promotes their planes as fast assembly - "Fold and Fly"

These planes certainly can be built quickly but that doesn't mean very careful attention isn't needed to their assembly.

• Be sure to fold and check alignment prior to gluing. If the fuse isn't true trim or otherwise fix it first. In the rare case that a part isn't creased or punched correctly, call the manufacturer and get a replacement

• Very carefully follow the instructions on working the wing creases. Don't cut this step short

• Carefully check the wing for warp as soon as it is joined and before you add the center wrap. I use wood blocks as a standoff to compare the sides. This seems to work better than a chair. If there is any warp FIX it NOW!

• It something doesn't come out straight you can take it apart.
