5. Just before landing, at about 1 foot [0.3m] above the ground,
move the throttle control stick all the way down and apply some
up elevator (right control stick down) to land the Playmate safely
on the landing gear and tail skid.

CAUTION: If, during a rough landing, the propeller on the
Playmate should become jammed and cannot rotate with
the throttle in the run position, the battery and airplane
electronics could become damaged. Immediately lower the
throttle to stop the motor.

AFTER THE FLIGHT

Disconnect and remove the battery from the airplane. Then,
switch the transmitter off. Allow the motor and battery to cool
before recharging. Check the airplane over to make sure nothing
has come loose or may be damaged.

REPAIRS

Even the best R/C pilots in the world damage their airplanes every
now and then. In the unfortunate event that you damage your
airplane, repairs are fairly simple to make yourself. If there are
any cracks in the wing or fuselage, apply 6-minute epoxy, white
glue, or foam-safe CA glue to the broken areas and hold them
together with clear packaging tape. Let the glue cure, leaving the
tape in place for added strength.

REINSTALLING THE PROPELLER

1. Use the tip of a hobby knife (a paring knife would suffice)
to cut the side seam of the Playmate (either side may be cut).
Be careful to only insert the tip of the knife into the seam, as
penetrating too far may damage the internal components of
the Playmate.

2. Open the fuselage of the Playmate by using the uncut seam as
a hinge. If the uncut seam separates, simply reglue it when
performing Step 7.
