FLIGHT MANUAL Always do observe the following in order to prevent accidents! Before Flying Flying After Flying Cautions for Safety Before flying your airplane, ensure the airfield is spacious enough. Always fly it outdoors in safe areas with no debris or obstacles! Do not fly your airplane when there is a strong wind or a lateral wind. Always land your airplane into the wind. WIND Adjust the engine always from behind, but never from infront or the sides as a rotating propeller may badly injure you! For handling the radio properly, refer to its instruction manual. Ensure the spinner and propeller are securely attached. If your airplane begins to operate by itself, there is another transmitter on your frequency. Immediately stop your airplane; otherwise you may lose control of it which will result in accidents. OFF ON Fully extend the transmitter antenna. Switch on the transmitter. ON Switch on the receiver. ON Fill the fuel tank. By moving the control sticks, ensure all control surfaces moves as per your adjustments. By moving the throttle control stick, ensure the carburetor opens and closes without effort. For starting the engine, apply low throttle and hold the engine starter against the spinner. Adjust the needle. Bring your airplane to a halt by lowering the throttle trim. After each flight, the engine is very hot. Beware of getting burned! Switch off the receiver. OFF Switch off the transmitter. OFF ON OFF Draw out the remaining fuel from the fuel tank and fill it back into the can. Wipe away any fuel deposits or dirt. Do not allow watching people to get too close to a rotating propeller. Immediately disuse defective propellers as well as deformed spinners. If the dry batteries in the radio are flat, replace them with fresh ones. Do not fly your airplane above people standing around. Ensure the wings are securely attached. Hand-launch your airplane into the wind to make it take off. WIND Only use KYOSHO genuine parts! Never throw burning, gleaming or smouldering things into fuel cans, even if these happen to be empty. This will result in serious injury! THE FINEST RADIO CONTROL MODELS 6150103-1 PRINTED IN CHINA R
