DISCLAIMER:
T HIS IS NOT A TOY . This is a high-performance miniature aircraft, capable of high speeds and
damage to life, limb, and property. The manufacturer and its distributors cannot control how you
assemble this model, what equipment you use to fit it out, or how you fly it, and can assume no liability
whatsoever for any damages that may occur when you fly your aircraft. By assembling this model, you
are agreeing to indemnify and hold blameless the manufacturer and/or his agents from any and all torts
and liability associated with the use of this product. Please inspect all parts before beginning assembly.
If any parts appear to be suspect, contact your dealer or the manufacturer for repair or replacement
BEFORE you begin. Once you have assembled the aircraft, you are the pilot in command and assume
any and all responsibility for the use of the model and any damages that might occur by flying or
attempting to fly this aircraft.
R/C model jets require a high level of skill in both their assembly and their flying. If you do not feel
confident in either your building or flying skills, PLEASE seek assistance from more experienced
modelers. It is a wise idea, no matter what level of skills you possess, to have a second experienced
modeler go over your installation after assembly. A second set of eyes may spot a problem you have
missed. If you have not flown a model like this before, it is HIGHLY recommended that you get an
experienced turbine pilot to do your maiden flight. Very often, the first few seconds of a maiden flight
are critical until the aircraft is trimmed out, and having an experienced pilot at the controls can make the
difference between a wrecked aircraft and once that enjoys many hundreds of flights. Be sure to select a
suitable field for flying...take the time to find a large paved runway if at all possible, especially for test
flights, until you feel comfortable getting the aircraft in and out of smaller grass fields.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Keep this in mind as you proceed:
Look at EVERY assembly step you finish, and ask yourself:
"Is this going to crash my airplane?"
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and this is a high-performance aircraft that will be very
intolerant of sloppy assembly techniques. Even the smallest component is important and can cause the
loss of your airplane, so take the time to do things right. Or REdo them if they are wrong. Careful work
will result in a long-lasting plane that gives you years of pleasure, one loose component could result in
the complete loss of the aircraft and all the components inside it, and someone can even get hurt. So
pause every once in a while when building it and double-check your workmanship.
A. Introduction:
You have chosen a model that represents the pinnacle of ARF technology. While there is not a lot of
building to do, there is enough to keep you busy for a few evenings.
Even if you have assembled maybe other ARF jets, we highly recommend following our assembly
sequence and procedures anyway.
Chances are it will save you a lot of time, prevent you from running down dead ends, and perhaps
