Could be this

Regardless - they all go together the same way so a manual is not terribly important (unless this is your first build then I would say put it away for a bit until you get experience).
Balance point should be on the wing tube.

Good luck

+1 for a smaller glow trainer. Too big of a heartache to try learn on a plane like that. Can get very discouraging (believe me, I know! )

bjor has provided you with about as much help as you are going to get. Check the site, read the reviews: apparently no instructions come with the kit, but references a ROM DVD with some pictures. The kit gets good reviews except for no instructions. A builder with some experience will have the kit assembled without issue.It's not a beginner's kit, for flying or assembly. Best of luck with it.

It looks like a giant scale planes model.
If you need any help we're here for you just take some pic's of the parts that are in question.
I'd start with hinging my surfaces, then control horns. Then install the servo's. after that look at your control rods and they will give you som wheat an ideal what rod goes where.
What motor are youy going with.
most hardware that comes with these arf's I end up throwing away anyways.
a picture of your parts is worth a 1000 words
