6. You must check the operation of the model before every
flight 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 already an experienced R/C pilot, you
should fly the model only with the help of a competent,
experienced R/C pilot.
NOTE: We, as the kit manufacturer, can provide you with
a top quality kit and great instructions, but ultimately the
quality of your finished model depends on how you build
it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the
perfor mance 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.
If you have not flown this type of model before, we
recommend that you get the assistance of an
experienced pilot in your R/C club for your first flights.
You'll learn faster and avoid risking your model before you
are truly ready to fly it. Your local hobby shop has
information about clubs in your area whose membership
includes experienced pilots.
In addition to joining an R/C club, we strongly recommend you
join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics). AMA
membership is required to fly at AMA sanctioned clubs. There
are over 2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country.
Among other benefits, the AMA provides insurance to its
members who fly at sanctioned sites and events. Additionally,
training programs and instructors are available at AMA club
sites to help you get started the right way. Contact the AMA at
the address or toll-free phone number below:

DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE

This is a partial list of items required to finish the Easy
Sport 40 ARF that may require planning or decision making
before starting to build.

Engine Recommendations

The recommended engine size range for the Easy Sport
40 ARF is as follows:
.40 to .51 two-stroke
.52 to .70 four-stroke
The Easy Sport 40 ARF will fly well with any of the
recommended engine sizes. For "Hot Dogging" and
speedy performance, we suggest either an O.S. .46 FX or
a SuperTigre GS-45, both 2-stroke engines. An O.S. FS-
70 Surpass II is a good choice for those who prefer
4-stroke engines.
