IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
WHEN YOU ARE FLYING YOUR
ELECTRIC FREE-FLIGHT MINI REGENT
The most important thing that determines
how well your Mini 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 Mini
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 Mini 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 Mini Regent.
