specified, add weight to the fuselage or move
the battery position. Check the C.G. before

general flying. You can adjust according
to your personal preference.

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.
#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
