IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

The wing and horizontal stabilizer of the Evader are factory-

covered with Top Flite

MonoKote

fi lm. Should repairs ever be

required, MonoKote can be patched with additional MonoKote
purchased separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls,
but some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied
with a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a
regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full
instructions for application. Following are the colors used on
this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.

White

(TOPQ0204)

Orange

(TOPQ0202)

(TOPQ0208)

The stabilizer and wing incidences and motor thrust angles

have been factory-built into this model. However, some
technically-minded modelers may wish to check these
measurements anyway. To view this information visit the web
site at www.greatplanes.com and click on “Technical Data.”
Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no

effect on the way your model will fl y, please expect slight
deviations between your model and the published values.

LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING & USAGE

WARNING!! Read the entire instruction sheet included with
your battery. Failure to follow all instructions could cause

permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings, and

cause bodily harm!

• ONLY use a LiPo approved charger. NEVER use a

NiCd/NiMH peak charger.

• NEVER charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.

• ONLY charge through the “charge” lead. NEVER

charge through the “discharge” lead.

• NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C.

• ALWAYS set the charger’s output volts to match

the battery volts.

• ALWAYS charge in a fi reproof location.

• NEVER trickle charge.

• NEVER allow the battery temperature to exceed

150° F (65° C).

• NEVER disassemble or modify the pack wiring in

any way or puncture the cells.

• NEVER discharge below 2.5V per cell.

• NEVER place the battery or charger on

combustible materials or leave it unattended during
charge or discharge.

• ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF

CHILDREN.

• NEVER charge the battery in the plane.

• ALWAYS remove the battery from the plane after

a crash. Set it aside in a safe location for at least
20 minutes. If the battery is damaged in the crash it
could catch fi re.

If the battery starts to swell, quickly move the battery to a safe

location, preferably outside: Place it in a bucket, covering the
battery with sand.
