Great Planes ESP6 Easy Sport 60 - GPMA0152 - Manual (Page 3)

Your Easy Sport is not a toy, but rather a
sophisticated, working model that functions very much
like an actual airplane.

Sport, if not assembled and operated correctly, could
possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and
damage property
To make your R/C modeling experience totally
enjoyable, we recommend that you get experienced,
knowledgeable help with assembly and during your
first flights. You'll learn faster and avoid risking your
model before you're truly ready to solo Your local hobby

The Easy Sport is not a beginner's airplane' It is
relatively fast, highly maneuverable, and lacks the self
recovery characteristics of a good basic trainer such as
the Great Planes PT-40 Mkll If you have already learned
the basics of R/C flying and can safely handle a basic
trainer, the Easy Sport is an excellent choice to sharpen
your skills and learn more advanced maneuvers
We think you will agree that the Great Planes
Easy Sport is the highest quality, best flying model of its
type on the market today'
