Preght Checks
The first flights should be done with the CG
at the recommended position, and reduced
control rates until comfortable with your
handling of the aircraft. As your experience
with the aircraft grows experiment with
different CG points and control rates. After
all flights, check the aircraft over for damage
and/or other items that may adversely affect
flight performance.
This EPP Pylon Racer is a full performance
a i r c r a f t a n d w i l l p r o v i d e h o u r s o f
entertainment, including the occasional
crash. If, as the result of a crash, the foam
tears, simply glue with Welders or CA.
Many pilots prefer Welders because it
remains flexible after drying. CA however, is
more suited for the "quick" repair.
This aircraft can be flown indoors or
outdoors. It is however designed specifically
for outdoor flying and will be right at home in
the local park or other similar sized venue.

Storage

This EPP plane should be stored resting it's
landing gear or hung from the prop. Storing
in other fashions that put stress on the
airframe could cause the airframe to distort.
Storage in a hot car could also cause
damage.
