1. Before each flight check both your aircraft and transmitter battery power levels. Make
sure that all batteries are fully charged.
2. Always turn on your transmitter before connecting the aircraft battery. When finished
flying disconnect the battery before turning the transmitter off. This is important with all
radio controlled aircraft, as aircraft without signals may respond unintentionally, causing
control surfaces and throttle to move.
3. Before turning on your transmitter, check to ensure that the throttle is in the off /
down position.
4. After switching the transmitter and aircraft on, check to ensure that the control
surfaces are initially in the neutral position.
5. Check to ensure that the control surfaces are moving in the proper direction. Check all
four channels of the aircraft (see figure below for recommended deflection).
6. Avoid flying in bad weather conditions. Since you are flying a relatively light aircraft it
is suggested not to fly in windy or rainy conditions. Wind can cause you to lose control of
the aircraft. We recommended flight only when wind speed is under 5mph. (8 km/h)
7. Always consider wind speed before flight, to ensure that you take of and land into the
wind.
8. Always keep the aircraft within visual range (500 yards), or you may lose signal,
causing the aircraft to crash or fly away.
9. If you notice that the plane is losing power, land as soon as possible, and recharge
battery. If the battery is overly discharged it may become damaged.
10. Before your initial flight, perform a range check to ensure that the transmitter and
receiver are functioning properly. To perform a range check, have a friend hold the model
and walk 50 paces, then ensure that all control surfaces and the throttle are functioning,
without glitching.
Do not fly aircraft in areas similar to those pictured in fig 2.
Populated area's, strong winds, in between high buildings, near utility
lines, playgrounds, railways, or roads.

1. Only fly aircraft in areas that are suitable for remote control aircraft as some areas
may not be suitable for radio controlled aircraft flight.
2. Keep your aircraft away from high power / high voltage cables, as they may cause
interference with the radio system, causing the model to lose control.
3. Avoid using you aircraft in near salt water, as salt in the air may cause corrosion to
mechanical components leading to malfunction.
4. Keep away from high traffic areas, as flying in these areas can distract drivers from
their attention from the road.
5. Do not fly model near airports or near commercial aircraft routes. In some emergency
cases it is possible that full scale aircraft may land in your area. In such a case land your
aircraft as quickly as possible. Commercial aircraft always have priority over model
aircraft.
Check Your C of G Position
Do not fly before confirming the correct C of G Position. If the
C of G is incorrect, you may lose control of your model and crash.

3.Please take out the main landing gear, and then take the landing
gear to insert the trough which is lied the back of battery cabin,
moreover it will be fixed by fastener.( picture 5)Note: If install
the landing gear incline the orientation of head cover, it will lead the
trail strength get shorter, so couldnt take off from the land.
2.After adjust the steel wire implement moderately,
then use hexagonal key to lock the screw tightly.

so the wing installing procedure is finished( picture 7).
And if make the magnet in back of wing separated from
the fuselage lightly( picture8), after wards take out the

1. Ensure no parts are missing in the float kit. The kit should contain the following
items: (2) Pontoons, (4) Struts, (2) Cross Bars and (8) Screws.
2. If your aircraft already has wheels installed, remove them before assembling the
float kit, as you will need the aircraft to properly line up the floats the first time.
3. First place the cross bars in between the float struts. Do not glue the cross bar in
place until you have successfully screwed the struts to the aircraft fuselage.
4. Secure bottom of struts to the pontoons with 5 minute epoxy or foam safe ca.
(The front float contains a notch which should line up with the front struts before
glueing.
5. Optional vertical tail fin may be attached on tail. However if you wish to change
between wheels and floats it is recommended to not glue this piece in.
NOTE: WHEN USING FLOATS ON THIS MODEL IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ADD 2oz
OF WEIGHT TO THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT.
