IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
WHENYOU ARE FLYINGYOUR
ELECTRIC FREE-FLIGHT REGENT
The most important thing that determines
how well your Regent flies is how well you
have it trimmed.
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 and fins are not
broken and that the fuselage is securely
attached to the wing.
Make sure the fins are not cracked or
broken. See the repair section for details.
Always throw the electric free-flight
Regent into the wind. Do not fly the
airplane if it is too windy.
Never charge your plane for more than 60
seconds. If you do, you may overheat the
batteries in the Regent or your charger
and damage them.
REPAIR: If the fuselage, wing or fin is
cracked or damaged, apply white glue and
cellophane tape and let dry overnight.
WARNING: Do not use super glue. It will
damage the foam. Always use white glue
and cellophane tape to repair the electric
free-flight Regent.

B= If the plane stalls, bend elevons down slightly.
C= Correct flight path.
D= To turn left, bend the left elevon up slightly and the
right elevon down slightly.
E= To turn right, bend the right elevon up slightly and
the left elevon down slightly.
