RC-38 PHASOAR 035 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
I. INTRODUCTION
The PHASOAR 035 from Top Flite Models,
Inc., u t i l i z e s its unique looks and design
to deliver electric-powered performance at
the flying field! A l l of the latest
technology has been employed in designing
this model, starting with the silent, but
powerful, ASTRO FLIGHT Cobalt 035 Electric
Motor. This motor, with a GRAUPNER 7 x 3
folding propeller unit and a SR 1000 or
"Magnum" 1250 mAh battery pack (6-cell),
has rocketed our prototype PHASOARS to 700
feet in 55 seconds! T h i s was done up to
five times on a single charge!
Aerodynamically, your PHASOAR has a light,
straight-forward and strong airframe.
There's no need to disassemble the model to
get at the batteries because its single-
screw release allows quick access to the
battery pack. This allows you to charge
batteries w h i l e s t i l l in the pod or remove
them for charging w h i l e a second pack is
being used. The full-flying stabilator
allows the model to be quickly and
dynamically trimmed for power-on/power-off
flight. The PHASOAR"s a i r f o i l allows
flying in wind conditions that would ground
most of the flat-bottom types and, yet,
provides a great thermal-hunting glide.
The generous rudder area and the
appropriate polyhedral of the wing panels
allow quick detection of the core of the
smallest thermals for long unpowered
flights.
Finally, the PHASOAR is perfectly sized to let you
take it most anywhere and enjoy true, high-
performance electric flight.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you are a beginner to the sport of R/C flying,
we would urge you to seek and use experienced
assistance in constructing and- flying this
airplane. A l l model airplane hobbyists should
remember that:
Flying this or an other radio-controlled model
aircraft is a PRIVILEGE and not a RIGHT and this
p r i v i l e g e begins w i t h the utmost safety
considerations to others and yourself as well. An
R/C model airplane in inexperienced hands has the
potential of doing serious personal or property
damage. These safety considerations start at the
building board by following instructions, seeking
competent help when you are confused and avoiding
short-cuts. These considerations have to be
carried over to the flying field where safety must
come f i r s t . We urge you, i f you have not already
done so, to:
1. Send for and obtain your Academy of Model
Aeronautics (AMA) membership which provides
insurance for your R/C activities'-DO NOT
RELY ON HOMEOUNERS INSURANCE.
