Safety in Flying
This is NOT a toy! It is a very high-performance RC airplane capable of high speeds and extreme
maneuvers. It should only be operated by a competent pilot in a safe area with proper supervision.
ONLY fly your aircraft in a safe, open area, away from spectators and vehicles–and where it is legal to
fly.
NEVER fly over an unsafe area, such as a road or street.
Never fly too close to yourself or spectators.
Never run your motor inside a house or building with the propeller attached – Remove the prop for
safety.

Examination
Unpack your airplane and examine the components. Check for damage of any kind. If you see any
damage, please contact Value Hobby immediately.
Covering
Your airplane was packed in plastic at the factory without any wrinkles in the covering. You may notice
some wrinkles now; more likely, you will notice a few in a day or two or the first time you take the plane
out to the flying field. These wrinkles are the result of wood shrinkage and/or expansion. Balsa wood
changes size and shape slightly as it is exposed to varying humidity in the air. This is a natural property
of balsa wood. As your airplane adjusts to the weather in your part of the world, wrinkles may appear
and disappear. Wrinkles may be removed with the gentle application of heat to the covering material on
your airplane. The best tool to use is a hobby heat gun. Apply the heat gently: the covering material will
shrink as you apply the heat, and this will remove the wrinkles. BE CAREFUL! Too much heat applied
too quickly can damage the covering, either by causing it to pull away from the wood at seams and
corners or even by melting it. The covering will shrink at low temperature with patient application of
heat.
