4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in fi rst-
class condition, and a correctly sized engine and
components (fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the
building process.
5. You must correctly install all R/C and other
components so that the model operates correctly on
the ground and in the air.
6. You must check the operation of the model before
every fl ight to insure that all equipment is operating
and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be
sure to check clevises or other connectors often and
replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.
7. 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.
8. 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 an engine
larger than one in the recommended range is used,
the modeler is responsible for taking steps to reinforce
the high stress points and/or substituting hardware
more suitable for the increased stress.
9. WARNING: The cowl and air scoops included in
this kit are made of fi berglass, the fi bers of which
may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation.
Never blow into a part to remove fi berglass dust, as
the dust will blow back into your eyes. Always wear
safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves
when grinding, drilling and sanding fi berglass parts.
Vacuum the parts and the work area thoroughly after
working with fi berglass parts.
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.
Remember: Take your time and follow the
instructions to end up with a well-built model that
is straight and true.
