Before attempting to fly the Sky Voyager, it will be necessary to make adjustments or “trim” the flight characteristics.
The most important thing that determines how well your Sky Voyager flies is how well you have trimmed it.
• With the motor off, grasp the sides of the fuselage and gently toss the Sky Voyager into the wind. It should glide straight ahead
and settle gently to the ground.
• If it stalls and crashes adjust the elevator. If it does not turn, bend the rudder slightly to the left or right.
SAFETY RULES
• Always launch the airplane away
from people and obstacles.
• Never point the airplane at
anyone or anything.
• Always launch skyward.
• Do not launch indoors.
1. Choose an open field that is free of
trees, power lines, and other obstacles.
Grasp the fuselage of the Sky Voyager
firmly and turn the power switch to “ON”.
IMPORTANT: The propeller will begin
spinning as soon as the switch is turned
“ON”! Be certain that the propeller is
unobstructed; failure to do so will damage
the prop. Keep hands away from the prop.
2. Launch the Sky Voyager in an
overhand motion into the wind, keeping
the wings level.
3. The Sky Voyager should climb gently and
turn gradually. If it stalls and crashes or does
not turn, adjust the elevators and rudder.
Refer to “Adjusting Flight Characteristics of
the Sky Voyager” for details.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO
REMEMBER WHEN FLYING
YOUR SKY VOYAGER
• Do not fly the Sky Voyager in close
proximity to houses, streets, trees, and
overhead wires.
• Closely inspect your Sky Voyager after
every flight and make sure that the
wings are not broken and are securely
attached to the fuselage.
• Make sure that the tail parts are not
cracked or broken.
• Always throw the Sky Voyager into
the wind. Do not fly the Sky Voyager if it
is too windy.
• Never charge the Sky Voyager for more
than 60 seconds. It may cause damage
to either the charger or the airplane’s
internal battery.
REPAIR: If the fuselage, wings, or tail are
cracked or damaged, glue them together
using white glue and reinforce them with
cellophane tape. Allow them to dry
completely before attempting to fly. DO NOT
USE super glue as it will damage the foam.
Attention: The Sky Voyager
is powered by a rechargeable
battery. At the end of the
battery’s useful life, under
various state and local laws,
it may be illegal to dispose of the battery
into the municipal waste system. Check
with your local solid waste officials for
details in your area regarding recycling
options or proper disposal.
Warning: This product contains a chemical
known to the state of California to cause
