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.If your plane dives (A) or crashes (B) follow the steps below until you
have a correct path (C).
A= Dive. Bend elevators upward slightly.
B= Stall and crash. Bend elevators down slightly.
C= Correct flight path.
D= To turn left, bend the rudder slightly to the left.
E= To turn right, bend the rudder slightly to the right.
3. If needed, using a hobby knife, carefully cut along the sides of the elevator and top
and bottom of the rudders. Repeat step 2 until proper flight is achieved.

SAFETY RULES
• Always launch the airplane away
from people and obstacles
• Never point the airplane at anyone
or anything
• Always launch skyward
• Do not launch indoors
1. Choose an open field, free of trees,
power lines and other obstacles. Hold the
model 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
turn gradually. If it stalls and crashes,
adjust the elevator. If it does not turn,
bend the rudder slightly to the left or right.
Refer to the “TRIMMINGYOUR ELECTRIC
SKYBLAST, SUN BURST OR SKY

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
WHENYOU ARE FLYINGYOUR FREE-
FLIGHT SKYBLAST, SUN BURST OR
SKY DEMON
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.
