flying. You can adjust according to your
personal preference.
The ideal C.G. position is 100mm ( 3.94 in ) 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.

Important Safety Precautions
A262SPO21510908
Warning!
C.G.
# 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.
#
FUN WORLD 40 is specially designed to be powered by 2C 0.40 - 0.46 engine or 450W motor system.
using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over powered propulsion system
may cause structural 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. 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.
# 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.

LINKAGE CONNECTOR
HW7111050 & HW7111060
After fastening the round nut, make sure that
the linkage connector can rotate freely.
Drill 2mm hole at servo horn.
Insert linkage connector
into servo horn.
Make sure shoulder of
screw is cleared from
servo horn.
Add washer to reduce
play if necessary.
Shoulder
Tighten up the round nut
against the shoulder. Apply
CA or permanent thread
locker.
