Important Safety Precautions
# First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced flyer
is absolutely necessary.
# Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly
pre-adjusted aircraft.
# is specially designed to be powered by KM0283010 Outrunner Motor.
# Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get
too close to a running propeller. Extreme caution should be exercised when working with
electric powered models. Make sure the propeller is cleared of all objects, especially your
hands before connecting the battery to the model. Make sure you understand the
operation of the ESC (Electronic Speed Control) by studying the ESC manual. Once you
plug in the battery for electric powered model, always treat the propeller as a rotating one,
as accidental movement of the throttle stick will spin the propeller and could cause injuries.
# Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.

The ideal C.G. position is 95mm (3.75in.) behind the leading edge
measured at where the wing meets the fuselage. In order to obtain
the C.G. specified, add weight to the fuselage or move the battery
position. Check the C.G. before flying.
