Assembly Strategy

These instructions are intended for a complete Premium Plug & Fly simulator with a closed shell. Please use the document in the same way for other configurations.

Recommendation

Please check the whole delivery for any damages and contact us directly. When you receive a simulator delivery from us you might be a bit overwhelmed by all the parts you find in front of you. Use this document for a structured approach to assembly.

Preparation

Please organise all components so that you know where the parts are.

Don’t dispose the packaging material as you may have overseen some parts while unpacking.
