Safety notes
General
!
These safety instructions are intended not only to protect the
product, but also for your own and other people’s safety. There-
fore please read this section very carefully before using the prod-
uct!
Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around,
since it might become a dangerous toy for children.
Persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge, or
not capable to use safely the transmitter must not use the
transmitter without supervision or instruction by a responsi-
ble person.
Operation and use of radio-controlled models needs to be
lernt! If you have never operated a model of this type before,
start carefully and make yourself familiar with the model's
reactions to the remote control commands. Proceed always
responsibly. This also means that you have for your own pro-
tection liability insurance.
Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture. All equip-
ment must be protected from vibration as well as excessive
heat or cold. The models may only be operated remotely in
normal outside temperatures such as from -10°C to +55°C.
The insurance is mandatory for all kinds of model operation.
Always fly with a safe distance away from people and objects,
never fly low over people or directly towards them!
Never fly the model near power lines, industrial sites, resi-
dential areas, public roads, school yards or playgrounds etc.

All model fliers must behave in such a way that public safety,
especially other people and property, as well as orderly fly-
ing operations is not jeopardized or disrupted.
Inform passers-by and spectators before the start of the
dangers posed by your model and exhort them to keep a
safe distance.
Checklist before starting
Before every use, check the range and functioning. For this
purpose switch on the transmitter and the receiving system.
Check that all controls are in neutral position, function prop-
erly and turn down the correct side.
When flying a model aircraft for the first time, it is advanta-
geous if an experienced helper stands aside in the review
and the first flights.
Propellers powered by a motor represent a constant risk of
injury. Do not touch them with any part of the body! A fast-ro-
tating propeller can cut off a finger!
Keep well out of the rotational plane of the propeller! A part
of it or the entire propeller could broke and fly off at high
speed, hitting you or third parties. This can cause serious
injury. Make sure that no object gets in touch with a revolv-
ing propeller!
The blockage of the propeller, for any object must be
excluded.
Check each time before the model itself and everything
attached to it (e.g. propeller, tail plane etc.) is in good con-
dition and undamaged. The model may be taken in opera-
tion only after removal of all defects.
Radio interference caused by unknown sources can occur
without warning! The model is then uncontrollable and com-
pletely unpredictable!
Do not leave the radio control system unattended, to pre-
vent operation by third parties.
Electric motor should be activated only if there is nothing in
the rotational plane of the propeller. Do not attempt to stop
the spinning propeller. Power the electric motors only with
the propeller installed.

The attitude of the model must always be clearly visible
throughout the flight to ensure always a safely use and avoid
problems. Familiarize yourself during the flight, if any mal-
function / interference becomes noticeable, the landing must
be initiated immediately for safety reasons. You always give
way to other aircraft. Start and landing strips should be kept
free of people and other obstacles.

Model assembly
The model is ready to fly after a few assembly steps, the follow-
ing instructions should be observed carefully so that safe oper-
ation is ensured.
To open the canopy hold it securely laterally and pull to the top.
After removing the canopy, the two wing panels with the CF
bayonet (4) are inserted in the fuselage, then the servo cables
(5) and (2) are led out in the fuselage through the related holes.
Tip: the insertion of the wing panels will be easier if just before
placing them you press a little both naps (3) of the left wing
panel. After some assemblies the wing panel will get together
without too much pressure and installing them will be easier.
Occupation of the optional receiver
Install the receiver, pass the antenna from the bottom through
the guide tube. The guide tube is on the left side of the fuselage
over the elevator servo. Connect the servo cables according to
the representation.
