Important: 

When fitting and adjusting the various linkages you should ensure that they move 
freely, without binding, are able to move to their full extent - including trim travel - and 
are not obstructed mechanically at any point. 
When you move the rudder stick to the right, the rudder should also deflect to the 
right (left stick: left rudder). Pull the elevator stick back towards you, and both 
elevators must deflect up (stick forward: elevator down). 
If you move the aileron stick to the right, the right aileron should rise, the left aileron 
fall. When you move the throttle stick forward, the engine should run at full power; 
pull the throttle stick back, and the engine should idle. The landing flaps are best 
assigned to a slider or a three-position switch. We recommend a two-position switch 
for the retractable undercarriage.  
 
Now all that remains is for all of us to wish you many hours of pleasure flying your 
YAK 11 RENO. 
 
Yours - the                            team ! 
 
 

Safety notes and warnings relating to

 

model aircraft powered by internal-combustion engines

 

 

 

Be  sure  to  read  right  through  the  instructions  covering  assembly  and 
operation of your model before you attempt to operate it for the first time. 

 

These  safety  notes  are  an  integral  part  of  the  instructions.  Please  keep 
them and the operating instructions in a safe place. If you ever dispose of 
the model be sure to pass them on to the new owner. 

 

Powered  model  aircraft  are  very  demanding  and  potentially  dangerous 
machines,  and  call  for  a  high  level  of  technical  knowledge  and  skill  from 
the operator, together with a responsible attitude. 

 

Powered model aircraft are not suitable for young persons under eighteen 
years of age. 

 

Young  people  should  only  be  permitted  to  operate  this  model  under  the 
instruction  and  supervision  of  an  adult  who  is  aware  of  the  hazards 
involved in this activity. 

 

The  operator  of  the  model  must  be  in  full  possession  of  his  bodily  and 
mental  faculties.  As  with  car  driving,  operating  a  model  aircraft  under  the 
influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances. 

 

Radio-controlled  model  aircraft  may  only  be  employed  for  the  purpose 
intended  by  the  manufacturer.  They  must  never  be  used  as  man-carrying 
machines. Any other use of this model is prohibited. 

 

A  radio-controlled  model  aircraft  can  only  work  properly  and  fulfil  your 
expectations if it is built very carefully and in accordance with the building 
instructions.  Do  not  make  any  modifications  of  any  kind  to  the  design 
features  or  materials.  If  you  wish  to  avoid  injuring  people  and  damaging 
property  it  is  essential  to  be  careful  and  painstaking  at  all  stages  of 
building  and  operating  your  model.  Nobody  would  climb  into  a  full-size 
light  aircraft  and  try  to  fly  it  without  completing  a  course  of  training  first. 
Model  flying  is  a  skill  which  has  to  be  learned  in  just  the  same  way.  We
