PRECAUTIONS
Your Micro F-86 Sabre 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 Micro F-86 Sabre, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or
spectators and damage to property.
1. Operate the plane according to the instructions . DO NOT
alter or modify the model. If you make any modifi cations,
you void your warranty.
2. Test the operation of the model before each fl ight to
ensure that all equipment is operating properly and that
the model remains structurally sound.
3. Fly only on calmer days (with wind speeds no more than
10 mph) and in large open areas free of trees, people,
buildings, or any other obstacles.
4. 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. You can
also contact the National Academy of Model Aeronautics
(AMA) which has over 2,500 chartered clubs across the
country. Instructor training programs and insured newcomer
training are available through any of these clubs. Contact
the AMA at the following address or toll-free phone number:

BATTERY CHARGING PRECAUTIONS
❏ 1. Always remove the battery from your Micro F-86 Sabre
before charging.
❏ 2. Allow the battery to cool after fl ight before recharging.
❏ 3. Do not leave a charging battery unattended! Unplug
the battery if it gets warm, even if the charge LED has not
gone out.
WARNING: Misuse or malfunction may overheat the battery
and charger, resulting in personal injury or damage to
surroundings.
It is critically important to use only 2S LiPo 7.4V
batteries within the recommended capacity range
that do not include a PCM (Protection Circuit
Module) charging circuit inside the battery.
Most PCM circuits restrict the delivery of power to the
ESC and motor and may cut all power to the receiver and
thus, result in complete loss of control over the model.
