Flying Tips and Repairs

Consult local laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
We recommend fl ying your aircraft outside in no
greater than moderate winds or inside a large
gymnasium.
Always avoid fl ying near houses, trees, wires and
buildings. You should also be careful to avoid fl ying
in areas where there are many people, such as busy
parks, schoolyards or soccer fi elds.
Range Check Your Radio System
After fi nal assembly, range check the radio system
with the aircraft. Refer to your specifi c transmitter
and receiver instruction manuals for range test
information.
Flying
This aircraft is extremely responsive to control
input. Fly at low rate settings until you are familiar
with its response.
Fly your fi rst attempts at high rate settings at high
altitude and slow speeds.
Hand Launching
When hand-launching your aircraft alone, hold
the aircraft in one hand and the transmitter in the
other. Hold the aircraft by the fuselage under the
wings. Firmly throw the aircraft directly into the
wind, angled slightly up (5 to 10 degrees above the
horizon) with full throttle. Climb to check trim. Once
trim is adjusted, begin exploring the fl ight envelope
of the aircraft.
Landing
Make sure to land on a soft surface, like grass. Fly
the aircraft into the wind approximately 36 inches
(90cm) or less above the surface, using a small
amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the
throttle on until the aircraft is ready to fl are. During
fl are, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed
into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling
back on the elevator to bring the aircraft down on its
belly. Fully lower the throttle just before the aircraft
lands to avoid propeller damage.

Repairs
Repair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA
(cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape. Only use
foam-compatible CA glue as other types of glue can
damage the foam.
When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement
Parts List for ordering by item number.
For a listing of all replacement and optional parts,
refer to the list at the back of this manual.
NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on
your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the
aircraft until accelerant fully dries.
NOTICE: When you are fi nished fl ying, never keep
the aircraft in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in
a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can
damage the foam.
