PROTECT YOUR  MODEL, YOURSELF

AND OTHERS; FOLLOW THESE 

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your SkyFly 2 should not be considered a toy, but 
rather a sophisticated, working model that functions 
very much like a full-size airplane. Because of its 
performance capabilities, the SkyFly 2, if not assembled 
and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to 
you or spectators and damage to property.

We highly recommend that you get experienced, 
knowledgeable help with assembly and during 
your fi rst  fl ights. This will make your modeling 
experience more enjoyable.

 You’ll learn faster and 

avoid risking your model before you are truly ready 
to solo. Your local hobby shop has information about 
fl ying clubs in your area whose membership includes 
qualifi ed instructors. You can contact the 

Academy 

of Model Aeronautics (AMA)

, which has more than 

2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Instructor 
training programs and insured newcomer training are 
available through any one of these clubs.

PRECAUTIONS

1. Assemble the plane 

according to instructions

DO NOT 

alter or modify the model. If you make any 

modifi cations, you void your warranty.

2. 

Test

 the operation of the model 

before each fl ight

to insure that all equipment is operating properly and 
that the model remains structurally sound.

3. Fly only on calm days (with wind speeds less than 
5mph) and in large, open areas free of trees, people, 
buildings, or any other obstacles.

Remember: Take your time and follow the 

instructions to end up with a well-built model 
that is durable and easy to fl y. 

The R/C model 

hobby becomes more and more enjoyable as your 
experience grows. Your chances for success and 
graduation to higher levels are very good if you 
take your time and follow the assembly and fl ying 
instructions carefully and completely. We hope you 
enjoy fl ying your SkyFly 2 airplane.
