The Atlantis looks different though. Be warned the instructions are as good as useless, they are way too brief and are for the old low wing model, not the new centrewing model.
I agree with the above comment re typical Phoenix/Black Horse supplied manuals. In a word, lacking. The Atlantis' one is far from the worst, but erroneous in parts due to changes in the Atlantis ARF design since the manual was origiinally (nearly a decade ago) written. Although anyone with an aeromodeling background who has either built from a kit or scratch built previously shouldn't have any problem with them, the included assembly instructions are really next to useless for anyone ARF assembly 'challenged'. Their sibling Seagull usually has better assembly instructions, although they to can be erroneous until they get updated. eg: Seagull's PC-9. So RTFM at least once and completely famil yourself with all the bits prior to assembly would be sage advice. "Trial fit first" should be the maxim.
