damage. If you find any damage or missing parts, contact the place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or covering iron to remove

prevent separating the covers.

Use the recommended expos to soften the feel of the model, expecially on high rates.
The goal is to get the model to feel the same around neutral as it does on low rates.
Recommended CG
The recommended Center of Gravity location is 105mm behind the leading edge of
the wing against the fuselage.
Use the battery pack, moving it forward or backward, to achieve the correct balance.
Pre-flight
Never attempt to make full throttle dives! This model have to be flown like a full-
scale airplane. If the airframe goes too fast, such as in a high throttle dive, it may fail.
Throttle management is absolutely necessary.
Range test your radio
Before fly, be sure to range check your radio as manufacturer’s instruction
manual of you radio-system recommend.
Double-check all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle) move in the
correct direction.
Be sure that your motor battery pack is fully charged, as per the instructions
included with your batteries and that your radio is fully charged as per its
instructions.
Finally... have nice flights!
