The Global SST 09 ARF is in no way a primary trainer. If you have not flown an R/C airplane before, please
return this kit to the place of purchase before going any further. The SST 09 is designed for those pilots who are
already skilled at flying a basic trainer or sport airplane. Even though the SST 09 is small, it can be a very high
performance aircraft, depending upon which engine and radio accessories you use. These options are discussed
in further detail to help you make the right choice for your desired style of flying.
To make your modeling experience totally enjoyable, we recommend that you get experienced, knowledgable
help with assembly and during your first flights. Your local hobby shop has information about flying clubs in
your area whose membership includes qualified instructors. We also recommend that you contact the AMA at
the address below. They will be able to help you locate a flying field in your area also.
The SST 09 ARF is distributed exclusively by Global Hobby Distributors 18480 Bandilier Circle Fountain Valley, CA 92728

    Thank you for choosing the Global SST 09 ARF for your next airplane. The SST 09 ARF is designed to be powered with either an .09 size engine, like the AP Engines Hornet, or a .15 size engine, like the AP Engines .15 Yellowjacket. Performance is excellent using either engine. The smaller engine will allow the SST to be flown slower and in a much smaller space.

    After you have test flown and done the initial trim changes to the aircraft, use the Trim Chart below to begin trimming your airplane. Following and adhering to this chart will result in the ability to diagnose trim problems and correct those problems using the simple adjustments shown below. Making these observations and related corrections will result in a truer, straighter and better flying airplane.
