| PHOTOETCH | |||||
| The photo etch contains two sets of folded and unfolded rotors as well as landing gear. |  |

| INSTRUCTIONS | |||||
| The instructions are a single page with line drawings and photos of the real helo's. The placement of the gear is shown in the front elevation view and rotor placement is noted in the photos. These are adequate, but could benefit from some isometric views that clearly show the details. |  |
