This document is an instruction sheet for the Estes 4148 Blue Angels radio control model airplane. It provides step-by-step guidance for assembling the aircraft, including attaching the fuselage, wings, stabilizers, and flight battery. The manual also details the operation of the Flight Command transmitter and the specific 'pulse' control technique required to steer the plane.

Remove the battery from the plane, connect it to the Estes Peak Charger, and charge until the LED turns orange. Never charge the battery while it is inside the plane.
