Assembly Instructions
Place the MAIN WING over the FUSELAGE. Gently
slide the MAIN WING CLIPS into the FRONT
FUSELAGE TOP SLOT ensuring that the MAIN WING
SLIDE is still above the FRONT FUSELAGE TOP
SLOT and the MAIN WING CLIPS are below the
FRONT FUSELAGE TOP SLOT. Make sure you slide
it in ALL THE WAY or your plane will not fly. Finish
attaching the MAIN WING by wrapping the MAIN
WING ELASTIC around the FUSELAGE and slipping
it over the MAIN WING HOOK.
Slide the REAR WING CLIPS into the REAR WING SLOT.
Make sure you gently push the REAR WING CLIPS ALL
THE WAY into the REAR WING SLOTS or the plane will be
unstable. NOTE: the REAR WING ELASTIC should be
placed around the rear end of the FUSELAGE as shown.
Flying your AIR HOGSTM Plane
Pump up the plane until you feel a lot of pressure and it
becomes very difficult to pump. It will take 40 to 60 pumps
to pressurize your plane (Tip: For maximum performance,
try 60 to 80 pumps.). When pumping, make sure you push
the pump handle all the way down.
ATTACHING PLANE TO PUMP

PUMPING UP THE PLANE
Attach the plane to the PUMP as shown. Gently push the
AIR HOLE (under the engine) onto the NOZZLE of the
PUMPstation. Make sure you push the AIR HOLE all the
way down onto the NOZZLE. The NOZZLE CLIP should
be secure to the nozzle. If the plane is not pushed
securely onto the NOZZLE, the tank will not fill with air,
and the plane will not fly.
Put the pump on the ground and place one foot on each
side of the base.

ALWAYS FLY YOUR PLANE IN A WIDE OPEN GRASSY AREA; THIS WILL ENSURE A LONGER LIFE FOR YOUR PLANE.
ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN FLYING YOUR PLANE! ALWAYS POINT YOUR PLANE AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND
OTHER PEOPLE WHEN LAUNCHING!
DO NOT FLY THE PLANE IN VERY WINDY CONDITIONS. DO NOT FLY THE PLANE IN TEMPERATURES BELOW
7°C/45°F. THE WINGS WILL BECOME BRITTLE AND MAY BREAK, AND ENGINE PERFORMANCE WILL DECREASE.

Make sure the MAIN WING and the TAIL WINGS are
straight before every flight to ensure maximum performance!
Hold the plane by the fuselage in your throwing hand. To
start the engine, flick the propeller firmly in the direction
shown by the arrow on the nose cone. If the propeller is
turning the wrong direction, the plane will not fly.
NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT FLICK THE PROPELLER
HARD ENOUGH, IT MAY “KICK” BACK IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION AND THE PLANE WILL NOT FLY.
Before flying your plane, check the wind direction.
You should always toss your plane against the wind for best
take off and flight results. If you can feel the wind against
your face, you are facing the correct direction. If the wind is
at your back, turn around until you feel the wind on your
face. You are now ready to fly your plane.
