Was hoping some one out there still has the instructions or a new in the box kit and relay the info for me. Would be greatly appreciated. Don't need the control throws but if there handy I'd take those too. I'll post pictures soon.
Thanks for any help guys.

Plane has a tendency to tip stall and snap out ,by its design
Mine was very short lived for just that reason
You can reduce the tendancy to tip stall ,by ---sharpening the leading edge ---from the wing tip ,and about 6-8 inches twards the fuse
The sharper leading edge reduces stall tendancies ,i have been told
The kit is 20 years old
Hope you do better with yours ,than i did with mine
