CAUTION!
READ BEFORE PROCEEDING:
►
The Libelle R/C glider is not a toy; a certain amount of experience and practice is required to
safely fly this model. We recommend consulting an experienced R/C pilot before attempting to
fly this glider. With proper instruction, learning to fly R/C gliders can be a safe and extremely
rewarding activity.
►
ALWAYS
fly model aircraft, such as the Libelle, in open areas away from overhead
power/telephone lines, groups of people, trees, roads, buildings, and airports.
►
BE CONSIDERATE AND RESPECTFUL!
Always be considerate of passersby, spectators, and
other pilots by maintaining a safe distance between them and your aircraft during flight.
Choosing a designated safe landing zone is good practice and always give larger, heavier flying
models the right of way. Treat flying sites with the utmost of respect and care, as future access to
them is by no means guaranteed.
►
The discus launch method places a certain amount of physical stress on one's body and glider.
Please proceed with caution when attempting this launch method.
►
Avoid over-speeding the Libelle by entering "terminal" style vertical dives or applying
excessive force during launch, as these actions could result in airframe failure and/or personal
injury.
►
The Libelle must be assembled, balanced, and trimmed properly to ensure smooth, efficient
flight. Poor balance and trim WILL lead to poor flight characteristics.
►
Do not store glider in areas of excessive heat, as this may cause foam parts to warp/deform,
thus adversely affecting the flight characteristics. Additionally, never place objects/weight on
glider during storage and transport unless foam parts are properly supported to prevent
warping.
