the assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for 
your fi rst fl ights. If you’re not a member of a club, your local 
hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose 
membership includes experienced pilots. 

4. While this kit has been fl ight tested to exceed normal use, 

if the plane will be used for extremely high stress fl ying, such 
as racing, or if a motor larger than one in the recommended 
range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to 
reinforce the high stress points and/or substituting hardware 
more suitable for the increased stress.

We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality, 
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the 
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends 
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way 
guarantee the performance of your completed model, 
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the 
performance or safety of your completed model.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED

In order to build your SkyFly Max, you will need to purchase 
some regular (foam safe not required) CA and have a few 
common household tools on hand. The following is a list of 
required and optional supplies and tools you will need:

Required Items

 

1/2 oz. [15g] Thin Pro

OPTIONAL BATTERIES & CHARGERS

To enjoy more fl ights, you may want to order a few more 

LiPo battery packs, a better charger and power supply. If you 
already have some LiPo battery packs, you may be able to 
use them in this airplane too. This model uses an 11.1V (3S) 
LiPo battery pack. Because this model’s motor draws about 

15 amps, you will need to use a battery pack with the proper 

“C-rating.” We suggest using a battery no smaller than an 

11.1V 1500mAh 15C LiPo and a battery no larger than an 
11.1V 2200mAh 25C LiPo.
