PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST FLIGHT
Fuel and Oil
FLY PRODUCTS recommends the use of a premium unleaded automotive gasoline of 92 octane or
higher, and the use of premium synthetic 2-cycle oil Mix fresh gas and oil before each flying session
Store your fuel/oil mixture in an approved, sealed container Dispose of fuel/oil mixture that is older than
72 hours
The recommended fuel/oil ratio is 2% Be sure to thoroughly agitate the mixture to completely dissolve
the oil
Use only fresh fuel and oil, and use clean containers, funnels, hoses, etc
To fill the fuel tank, remove the fuel tank by unscrewing the fuel tank cap Take care not to get dirt, dust,
etc onto the fuel pickup
It is recommended that the fuel be poured into the tank using a straining-type of funnel
Fill the tank with the desired amount of fuel and tighten the fuel cap securely
NOTE:
Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately, as the fuel/oil mixture is highly flammable, and an in-
flight fire would be catastrophic, also, the oil will leave a residue which will attract and retain dust and
dirt
WARNING!
Use common sense when refuelling:
Do not refuel a hot or running engine
Do not smoke or allow on-lookers to smoke while refueling
Do not refuel near heat or open flame
Before Starting the Engine
Before starting the engine on the ground, ensure that the unit is in an area free from dirt, rocks, dust, etc
that could be sucked up and thrown around by the propeller
Check assembly of the unit, and especially check any and all nuts, bolts, and screws, that could be loose
Also check all parts of the prop cage for looseness The prop produces a significant amount of thrust,
and can suck things into it from a surprising distance
WARNING!
Ensure that no bystanders or onlookers are close by when starting the motor
The most dangerous place to stand is in the plane of the propeller This is where dust, dirt, rocks, nuts,
bolts, etc, will be thrown if they are picked up by the prop
At full RPM, the prop tips are moving in excess of 370mph, and pushing the air rearward at over 70mph
This amount of force can pick up anything loose in the area and throw it around like a bullet
Not only can it severely injure you or bystanders, even small items like dirt can inflict significant damage
to the prop

Before proceeding it's better to learn the function of the handgrip:
