PRECAUTIONS
1.You must build the plane according to the plan and
instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as
doing so may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In
a few cases the plan and instructions may differ
slightly from the photos. In those instances the
plan and written instructions are correct.
2. You must take time to build straight, true
and strong.
3. You must use a proper R/C radio that is in first
class condition, the correct sized engine and
correct components (fuel tank, wheels, etc.)
throughout your building process.
4. You must properly install all R/C and other
components so that the model operates properly on
the ground and in the air.
5. You must test the operation of the model before
every flight to insure that all equipment is operating
and you must make certain that the model has
remained structurally sound.
6. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot,
you must fly the model only with the help of a
competent, experienced R/C pilot.
Remember: Take your time and follow
instructions to end up with a well-built model
that is straight and true.
ENGINE SELECTION
Recommended engine size:
.25 to .46 cu. in. [4.1 to 7.5cc] 2-stroke
.40 to .52 cu. in. [6.5 to 8.5cc] 4-stroke
Your Top Flite Gold 30’th Anniversary Edition R/C
Nobler will perform well with any of the engines
within the recommended range, but will handle
best with engines closer to the higher end of the
recommended size range. The inexpensive O.S.
.40 LA has more than adequate power to perform
even the most demanding aerobatic maneuvers.
The included Great Planes Adjustable Engine
Mount will hold a range of engines from .25 cu. in.
2-stroke through .52 cu. in. 4-stroke.
RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR
You may build your R/C Nobler either with fixed or
retractable landing gear. All the hardware you
need for fixed gear is supplied with this kit. We
also provide detailed instructions on how to install
retractable landing gear available from Great
Planes. The Great Planes mechanical retractable
landing gear recommended and shown in this
manual is light, inexpensive and strong. You may
choose to use another type of retract but it is up
to you to make modifications required to fit them.

DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE
NOTE: We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you
with a top quality kit and great instructions, but
ultimately the quality and flyability of your finished
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.
