Product Information

The P40 Q-Series is a model aircraft kit that requires assembly. It comes with a fuselage structure, servos, receiver, motor, propeller, wings, tails, landing gears, control horns, and other necessary components. The kit also includes UFO glue for bonding foam parts and 502 glue for bonding wood, carbon fiber, and metal parts. Please note that 502 glue should not be used on foam parts as it can cause corrosion.

Important notification

1. The model is supplied with UFO and 502 glue. UFO is for bonding foam parts, and 502 for bonding wood, carbon fiber and metal parts. 502 glue will cause serious corrosion to foam parts.
2. Please wait for the glue to dry and solidify in each installation step before the next installation.
