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 2-stroke 0.40- 046 or 4-stroke 0.48
engines, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over
powered engine may cause severe damage and injuries.
# Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get
too close to a running propeller.
# If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot iron
to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and gradually raise
the temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may damage the covering.
# Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.
.
81mm
3.2 in.
The ideal C.G. position is 81mm (3.2 in.) behind
the leading edge measured at top wing center line.
In order to obtain the C.G. specified, add weight to
the fuselage or move the battery position. Check
the C.G. before flying.
