The remote control
The model will be controlled by the left and right throttle (1 & 2) – Factory Settings: left sided elevator and ruder/ right
sided acceleration and Querruder. The trimmer (3-6), each close to the throttle will be used to adjust ruder an elevator.
Under the cover (7) the crystal is located which firms the channel oft he controller – onboard the receiver inside the
model the opposite one is build in.. Spare crystals to change the channel are available at your nearest model retailer.
Beneath the crystal the LED (8) green indicates power, the LED (9) red the activated mixer. Settings of the
microswitches (10) will be shown later on. The switch (0) at the left will reduce the elevator by 50% (dual rate).

Assembling of the model
Step 1 Assembling of the rear wing
Add the parts as shown in Figure 1. Assure that the outer carriers
are not mixed up (Stickers at the outer side)
Fix the carriers and ruder to the wing using the smaller screws.
Step 2 Installation of the receiver
Below the cockpit you will find the plugs for the servos and
the motor controller marked as follows:
1 Motor controller/Power
2 Servo left - elevator
3 Servo center - ruder
4 Servo right - elevator
Connect the plugs as shown in
Fig. 2. Pay attention to the right
polarity!
(Ground/black is outside).
Fig.2
Step 3 Adjustment of the servos and connection of the linkage
Prepare the pre-adjustments of the elevator. Turn the controller on und move
the trimmers to center position. Pull the right throttle to 6 o’clock. Connect the
charged Lipo battery now. Attention! The motor confirms readiness.
Servos are in center position now. Disconnect the Battery before continuing.
Mount the servo arms as shown in Figure 3. Arms for the elevator point upright
Above, the one for the ruder points to the right. Fix the arms with the screws.
. Fig. 3
Both PCB’s have to be wrapped by the included teflon
sealing tape to prevent destruction by wetness. .
Step 4 Sticking the rear wing
Put the rear wing for testing into the mounting slot of the body
marked with A;B and C (Figure 4).Assure that everything fits
together and take off the wing again. Put some BlueGlue into
the slots now.
IMPORTANT! Work very exactly!
Install the wing swiftly now and move it into exact position
without leaving any gaps between carriers and body. Let it
dry for 5 minutes.
Step 5 Installing the linkage
Hook the linkage to the servo arms.
Connect the short ones with left and right elevator, the medium
one with the ruder. Turn the trim parts to adjust elevators and
ruder. Last but not least connect the lower and upper elevators
with the remaining longer linkages.
Make sure that finally all elevators will have the same position Fig.4
Guide the antenna off the cockpit to the ruder. Unscrew both
center screws a bit and put antenna between carrier and wing.
DO NOT shorten the antenna!

ATTENTION! ATTEND SECURITY ADVICES
Test drive, not test flight
Weather conditions: less / no wind
For testing the Hi-Skyper , a free and flat surface is required – a sheet of ice, a snow-capped or asphalted area with the
dimensions of 100 x 100 m would be ideal.
Always attend the following way of proceeding:
The operating time of the remote control covers the time of the model – that means: switch on the remote control first
and then the model. If you switch it off, first the model then the remote control.
Switch on the remote control. Pull the throttle (right) to 6 o’clock. Connect
the LiPo battery pack with the Hi-Skyper and shut the cockpit. Absent
yourself from the model. Now, move the right stick to the left or right –
the rudder reject to the left or right. If you move the control stick (left) to
the front the elevators go down if you move it to the back they go up. The
control stick has to be steered very precise because an unobservant
moving can cause the takeoff and lead to a damage by landing. To avert
the accidental takeoff, in case you´re not acquainted with steering a 4-
channel model aircraft, please remove the linkage from servo to elevator
to try the first slides without the elevators. Now move the control stick to
the front – the propeller starts to turn- depending on the surface the model starts to move slowly forward. Do some
turns before moving the stick further and correct the on-center feel with help of the trim notch.
Please attend:
The Hi-Skyper has no breaks and will continue gliding while the motor is powered off.
Controlling the model is reduced when the propeller is stopped!
The speed can be reduced by moving the elevators down. The nose will be pressed to the ground and the model gets
slower.
Get used to the sliding at the ground before you try to fly. Do the next step only when you are able to control the model
at the ground – complete linkage installed.
Hoovering
Weather conditions: No wind
As long as the skids of your Hi-Skyper touch the ground you are a good Hi-
Skyper pilot. To the next step: hoovering with 2 to 7 centimeters to the
ground.
Preparations to start are known – make sure that elevators and ruder are
in exact positions. Start against wind direction and increase the speed one
by one. Reduce the speed if the model lifts off with one skid only. Adjust
the model by moving the trims and try again. Redo the start again and
again – and begin than with light ruder movement

Flying
Weather conditions: No wind
Within the last days your Hi-Skyper got cuts and perhaps was also broken – time to train the flying. This chapter is
especially short because within the last days you got known of your model and you know how it reacts. Probably you
already had experience in short flights. Two things to say: flying the model requires full batteries and less ruder. In the
air the model will be controlled by the elevators only. If this is new for you return to hovering! Seperate available V-
wings can help to stabilize the model.
The Elements
Water
Before entering the water you have to prevent the PCB’s against water. Wrap both PCB’s with teflon tape until they are
water resistant. Water
Check if the EPP-Body of your Hi-Skyper is undamaged. Maybe materialabrasives let water in; your model will become
a heavy weight and take off from the water will be impossible. Just operate your Hi-Skyper on smooth water surfaces –
Waves but also heavy curves can overturn the model - navigate against with the elevator. Should the model land
headlong in the water tow directly the throttle to the back. More gas can destroy the motor controller, if water gets
inside the Hi-Skyper. Check directly the body and the battery pack if water is intruded in the inside. If the battery pack
is wet, disconnect the circuit and let the components dry. Keep the battery pack according to the safety instructions and
let it dry.
Frozen water
If you test your Hi-Skyper on an iced areal, just enter it if everything safety. Don´t get in Danger. On an iced area the
Hi-Skyper can achieve the top speed – optimal to fight races.
Sliding on a snowcovered surfaces is ideal for first hoover- or flightsteps. The snowcover safes the model for damages.
Fire
Flying through a ring of fire you must abandoning other. Hopefully you´ve read in the safety instructions that the Hi-
Skyper is in deal with fire.
Earth
Is very suitable, assumed if it is snowy or just asphaltic. But the asphaltic can damage your Hi-Skyper more than
smoothie snow.
Air
The Air and also the Ground are home of the Hi-Skyper – but the requirements to the pilot are more ambitiously! Don´t
damage your Hi-Skyper, because you overvalue yourself.
Repairs
Your Hi-Skyper is made of EPP (..) a material which can absorb mechanic interferences through extreme resiliency.
Anyhow the model can damage. Possible breaks and broken plastic parts you can glue with the EPP-glue (Blue Glue)
inside the set. To glue the carabon shaft to the motorbody in the plastic holder use superglue with activiator (model
shop) or synthetic resin. Change damage propellers .
An unbalance can bunk out the Motor supporter.
Servicing & Care
Clean the model after every insert and remove dust and dirt, so you can stay long with the Hi-Skyper. Water inside
must remove. Change damage accessories!
You get all spare parts at your modelmakingshop or in the internet under www.Hi-Skyper.com . At the end of this
instruction you will see a list of spare parts. If you need help, call: Fon [phone] or mail at support@Hi-
Skyper.com.

Servo reacts slowly resp. delays control commands. Servo damaged Change defective servo
Model doesn´t keep the track. (ice, asphalt) On a hard, slick ground the model just changes the
direction by the propellers boost.
For the usage on iced surfaces the Hi-Skyper
can be modified by little lightweight steel
edges.
Model can be controled hardly. Foreign objects disrupt the free run of the propellers. Clean the model
Fuselag seriously damaged. Repair damages like crannies or breakings by
Blue Glue or change damaged parts.
The wind speed is to high, it´s squally. Wait for better wheather.
The model tilts to the left or right during flying,
without touching the controlstick.
The Hi-Skyper is pretty wobbly caused by its
construction type.
Constant steering into the opposite direction
is necessary.
The model doesn´t start from the water. Accumulator not charged completely. Charge accumulator.
Accumulator exhausted. Insert new accumulator
The fuselag is damaged and the the EPP soaks up
water – the model becomes to heavy.
Let the model dry off and caulk the damaged
parts by Blue Glue. If necessary replace
fuselag or vats.
The model doesn´t slide straight. The plastic sliders are damaged. Stick new plastic sliders on the model.
Trimming is not alright. Trim rudders
The surface falls off to one side. Choose another surface for starting
Sidewind affects the sliding. Always start against the wind.

Important Battery Information
Model Battery Care
A rechargeable battery has been built into to main body of the model.
Using the battery incorrectly will cause it to, rupture or ignite.
Follow these precautions:
•Charge the battery only when the car is NOT running. To prevent
overcharging, never recharge a battery which has already been fully
charged. This will not increase flying speed.
•Recharge the battery only with the transmitters built-in charger.
•If the chassis becomes warm, let it cool before running again.
This product uses a NiMh battery. NiMh batteries are recyclable, and a
valuable resource. To dispose of the battery, remove it and take it to a
recycling centre.
Transmitter Battery Care
Always use AA alkaline batteries. If improper batteries are used in the
transmitter, they may become hot, leak and may rupture.
Follow these precautions:
•Do not mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries.
•When changing batteries, replace ALL of the old batteries with new
ones.
•Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity as shown
in the battery compartment.
•Do not disassemble your transmitter batteries. Never allow them to
become hot or to burn. To avoid short-circuits, avoid getting them wet.
•If liquid from inside the batteries contact your skin or clothes, wash them
