MINI NEMSIS EP Instruction Manual. INTRODUCTION. Thank you for choosing the MINI NEMESIS EP ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS COMPANY LTD. The MINI NEMESIS EP was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a semi scale airplane which is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find that most of the work has been done for you already.
