Thank you for purchasing this model. You are about to learn to fly with one of the best trainer models ever designed. The Apprentice is the ideal plane for the beginner. Before you take to the sky though you must read this instruction manual fully.

Please install the tail plane as shown in the diagram below using an appropriate glue. Try not to use too much glue as this can effect the balance of the model. (UHU Por, 2 Part Epoxy or Cyno) Install the plastic control horns to the control surface using the supplied screws. You will need to use 2 screws per control horn.

Install the battery in to the battery compartment all the way towards the front on the aircraft and hold in place using the Velcro straps. It is easiest to balance the aircraft with it inverted. The model should balance around 40mm back from the leading edge of the wing.

Your model comes pre bound and tested but it is very important for you to check the controls move in the correct direction, if you are at all uncertain please contact your place of purchase or Century UK before flying your model. If the control surface goes in the wrong direction in relation to the input from the transmitter you can reverse the channel using the switches on the front of the handset.

The rudder is the vertical control surface on the tail fin and is mostly used on take-off or landing as it works very well at low speed. The control surface is activated using the left hand stick on the transmitter side ways.

Make sure your flight battery is fully charged and your transmitter batteries are also in a good state of charge. Make sure your control surfaces move the correct amount and in the correct direction. Do a ground range check. Your model should work at least 300 metres from the transmitter. If not do not fly.

A big mistake is to force the model down, you do not normally need down elevator to land. Breathe a sigh of relief as you have just flown a model aircraft and successfully landed it. From now on practice will get you better and better, ready for the next Max-Thrust model.
