Flyzone FLZA4314 - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Flyzone ™ Focke-Wulf Fw-190.
The Fw-190 is a very scale looking, but easy to fl y warbird.
The Fw-190 is forgiving and “friendly” enough for the pilot
with some low wing fl ying experience, but also responsive
enough for the experienced scale pilot. The performance of the
Fw-190 will give you confi dence to perform on-the-deck fl y
bys that will impress you and your fl ying buddies.
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to
the Fw-190 visit the Hobbico web site at
www.hobbico .
com . Open the “Airplanes” link, then select “Fw-190”. If
there is new technical information or changes to this model
a “tech notice” box will appear in the upper left corner of
the page.

AMA is the governing body of model aviation and membership

IMPORTANT!!! Two of the most important things you can
do to preserve the radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid
fl ying near full-scale aircraft and avoid fl ying near or over
groups of people.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Protect Your Model, Yourself & Others…
Follow These Important Safety Precautions
1. Your Fw-190 should not be considered a toy, but rather a
sophisticated, working model that functions very much like
a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities,
the Fw-190, if not assembled and operated correctly, could
possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage
to property.
2. You must assemble the model according to the
instructions . Do not alter or modify the model, as doing
so may result in an unsafe or unfl yable model. In a few
cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In
those instances the written instructions should be considered
as correct.
3. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not fl own this type
of model before, we recommend that you get the assistance
of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your fi rst fl ights.
If you’re not a member of a club, your local hobby shop has
information about clubs in your area whose membership
includes experienced pilots.
4. While this kit has been fl ight tested to exceed normal
use, if the plane will be used for extremely high stress fl ying,
such as racing, or if a more powerful motor is installed, the
modeler is responsible for taking steps to reinforce the high
stress points and/or substituting hardware more suitable for
the increased stress.
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way
guarantee the performance of your completed model,
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the
performance or safety of your completed model.
