Radio control system

For this model you require a radio control system with at least
four channels. We particularly recommend 2.4 GHz systems.
The receiving system is powered by the speed controller's
integral BEC system.
Before you check the model's working systems, set the con-
trol surfaces to neutral from the transmitter (transmitter sticks
and trims central).
Before flying the model always move the throttle stick to
the "motor stopped" position before switching the trans-
mitter on. Only then connect the battery.
To switch off, first disconnect the flight pack from the
speed controller, and only then switch the transmitter off.
When installing or setting up the receiving system com-
ponents, including the speed controller, be sure to read
and observe the instructions supplied with them.

Colour scheme

No painting is required.

Glued joints

All parts must be trial-fitted "dry" (without glue) before you re-
ach for the glue.
Please take great care to avoid excess adhesive running onto
the painted surfaces, as this will damage the finish.
The general rule is this: sand all painted joint surfaces
and remove all traces of dust before gluing.

Power system

A brushless outrunner motor is factory-installed. The propel-
ler and spinner are already fitted.
The motor is connected to the speed controller, ready for use,
and the controller is correctly set up at the factory.
Prior to flying the model all you have to do is connect the LiPo
flight battery and the receiver.
Read right through the safety notes for the LiPo battery,
and the instructions supplied with the battery charger,
before using these items for the first time.
