Instruction Manual





1) Completely charge your transmitter and

receiver batteries  before your first day of fly-
ing.





2) Check every bolt and every glue joint in

your plane to ensure that everything is tight
and well bonded.





3)  Double check the balance of the

airplane.





4) Check the control surface.





5) Check the receiver antenna . It should

be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.





6) Properly balance the propeller.

We wish you many  safe and enjoy-

able flights with your Spitfire - EP.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECK.





1) We highly recommend setting up a

plane using the control throws listed.





2) The control throws should be meas-

ured at the widest point of each control sur-
face.





3) Check to be sure the control surfaces

move in the correct directions.

CONTROL THROWS.

 Ailerons :  12mm up     12mm down

 Elevator :  10mm up     10mm down

 Rudder :   15mm right   15mm left



Lift the model. If the tail drops when you

lift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must
add weigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it
is “nose heavy” and you must add weight* to
the tail to balance.

*If possible, first attempt to balance the model
by  changing the position of the  receiver bat-
tery and  receiver. If you are unable to obtain
good balance by doing so, then it will be nec-
essary to add weight to the nose or tail to
achieve the proper balance point.
