1. Caution: Always launch the airplane away from people and obstacles. It is important to adjust or “trim,” your airplane before
each flight. Select an open area to test your plane.
2. With the motor off, grasp the airplane fuselage and gently toss the airplane into the
wind. It should glide straight ahead and settle gently to the ground. See the
diagram below.
A= Dive. Bend elevators upward slightly.
B= Stall and crash. Bend elevators down slightly.
C= Correct flight path.
D= To turn left, adjust the left aileron up and right
aileron down.
E= To turn right, adjust the right aileron up and left
aileron down.
3. If needed, using a hobby knife, carefully cut along the
sides of the elevator and ailerons. Repeat step 2 until
proper
flight is achieved.

power lines and other obstacles. Hold the
airplane in your hand over your head and
switch on the motor with your other hand.
Toss the airplane into the wind, keeping
the wing level.
2. The airplane should climb gently and

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
WHENYOU ARE FLYING YOUR FREE-
FLIGHT HYPER HAWK, WILD HAWK,
OR RED HAWK.
The most important thing that determines
how well your airplane flies is how well
you have trimmed it.
Because it can fly high and far you must
be in a large area away from houses,
streets, trees and overhead wires.
Closely inspect your airplane after every
flight. Make sure the wing is not broken
and is securely attached to the fuselage.
Make sure the tail parts are not cracked
or
broken.See the repair section for
details.
Always throw the electric free-flight
airplane into the wind. Do not fly the
airplane if it is too windy.
Never charge your batteries for more than
60 seconds. If you do, this may overheat
the batteries in the airplane or your
charger and damage them.
REPAIR: If the fuselage is cracked or
damaged, apply white glue and
cellophane
tape and let it dry overnight.
WARNING: Do not use super glue. It will
damage the foam. If the wing or tail
becomes damaged, apply cellophane
tape over the damaged area.
