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
KM0283011 Outrunner Motor .
#
# 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.
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.
