Introduction; Radio System Setup; Additional Equipment Required - Hangar 9 Solo Instruction Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Hangar 9 Solo. This trainer aircraft has a choice of unique finishes that will set it apart from
the general trainer type of aircraft. It's an ideal trainer, as well as a good choice for a second aircraft for modelers who demand a good
looking model that can be built in a few short evenings. This 90% pre-built beauty will get you to the field in no time!
Care has been taken to write a manual that will ensure you achieve the best performance and maximum enjoyment from your Solo
aircraft. It is important to carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual prior to flying the Solo.
If this is your first radio control (R/C) aircraft, it would be advisable to seek out an experienced flier to help you with your first
flights—you should do this with any R/C aircraft. Your local hobby shop should be able to suggest pilots who can assist you.
Should you have any questions regarding this kit, please contact the Horizon Service Center at 217-355-9511.
WARNING:
An R/C aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open areas, preferably
AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions included with your radio and engine.
Special Note: Due to changes in weather, wrinkling of the covering may occur. This is the nature of the covering film of the model
aircraft and can be easily smoothed using a heat gun or sealing iron following the directions below:
In case of wrinkle: Use a heat gun or sealing iron on the wrinkled area. Then rub the surface with a soft cloth until the surface is
smooth again.
Radio System Set-Up
It's a good idea to begin with charging the radio system first, so that later, in Section 14, you are able to electrically center your
servos. Locate your charger and plug your battery pack and transmitter into your charger. Plug the charger into an outlet to begin
charging. Follow the instructions for charging as outlined in your owner's manual for your specific radio system.
