Prior to each flight, range check the radio system to make certain
everything is functioning correctly. • Make certain no one is using the channel that you will
be flying on.
• Always make sure the transmitter is on prior to plugging
in the flight battery, and that when you have finished flying,
the transmitter is turned off after the battery has been
unplugged.
• Have someone help you with this. One person needs to
carefully hold the aircraft while the other walks approximately
100 feet (30 meters) away, with the radio on and the motor
running. Make certain the person holding the plane stays clear
of the propeller.
• Make certain the aircraft is responding correctly to all input.
If this is not the case, DO NOT FLY! Call the Horizon Hobby
Product Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.
• Always make sure all controls are functioning per the
transmitter
input.
• Always make sure you have fully charged transmitter
batteries.
Step 9
We’ve knocked this one out of the park! Choose a very large
open space, or an AMA sanctioned flying field, to fly your F-27C
Stryker. DO NOT fly at a location such as a public park or sports
field, even if this is where you typically have flown your park
flyers. This airplane can fly at speeds exceeding 80 mph (129k/h),
so make sure there are no people that may be endangered. As
always, avoid flying where your view may become obstructed,
or where there are buildings, trees, cars, or other objects that
may jeopardize the success of your flight. Always follow local
ordinances.
Before flying, always communicate the frequency at which you
intend to fly to other RC pilots around you, and make sure other
pilots are not using that channel.

FLYING YOUR F-27C STRYKER
FUTURE RC FLIGHT
1. Always launch your aircraft directly into the wind, with a very
slight upward angle.
2. We recommend launching with power off, and then adding
between 60% and full throttle. This is due to the fact that the
F-27C Stryker has a pusher propeller.
3. After several minutes of flying, and when you begin to feel the
power decreasing, it is time to land.
4. Line up the aircraft directly into the wind when landing, making
sure you land with no power to the motor. This will avoid
causing damage to the prop, motor, and other components
of the plane.
