Before flying check your model thoroughly and do a range check with the engine
running, check all electrical connectors are restrained and ensure that the receiver is
padded to reduce any vibration.
We trust you will have many happy hours of flying this model and if you have any
questions do not hesitate to contact us.
Safety
Always remember to treat your engine with respect and as soon as you connect your glow clip to your engine
to treat it as if it was running. Always keep your distance from the propeller and stand behind the engine and
propeller when you are doing high speed ground running ensuring that the plane is firmly restrained. Do not fly
if you are unsure that you are capable of doing so and make sure that you have 3rd party insurance and have
joined a club. Any needle adjustments should be done from behind the propeller ensuring you keep well clear.

The aileron servos can be either
plugged into channel 1 via a ‘Y’ lead
or one servo can be plugged into
channel 1 and the other can be plugged
into channel 6 to utilise the facilities of
flapperons. Please see your radio
manufacturers instruction booklet
for this facility.
The switch is better mounted in the
airframe so that the On position is
to the rear. This is because when
you let go of the model your natural
tendency is to drag your hand back
and it would not be the first time
someone has switched their model
Off by doing so.
Battery
S/W
Its always good practice to lead lock all servo connections, switches and batteries to ensure they do not
become disconnected during flight. It is also good practice to run the receiver arial away from any of the
servos so no interference is picked up by the motors in the servos. Another good tip is to use clevis keepers
on all clevises
. This is simply a small piece of fuel tubing slid over the clevis to keep it pinched together.
