T
he best way to begin flying
your SuperStar 40 is with an
experienced R/C pilot or flying
instructor at your side. You’ll
learn faster, relax those in-flight
jitters, and avoid risking your
model before you’re truly ready to
solo.
Where do you find an instructor?
Ask at your local hobby shop.
They’ll have information about
flying clubs in your area whose
membership includes qualified
instructors. You can also join the
Academy of Model Aeronautics
(AMA), a 165,000 member-strong
national organization with
more than 2,500 chartered
clubs across the country.
Through any one of them,
instructor training programs
and insured newcomer
training are available. Contact
the AMA at the address or
phone number below:

Before you fly:
1. Make sure that no other flyers are
using your radio frequency.
2. Your radio transmitter must be
the FIRST thing you turn ON, and
the LAST thing you turn OFF.
Fuel storage and care:
1. Do not smoke near your engine
or fuel.
2. Store all engine fuel in a safe,
cool, dry place, away from
children and pets.
1. Always wear safety glasses.
2. Make certain that your glow
plug clip is securely attached to
the glow plug—and cannot pop
off, possibly falling into the
spinning propeller.
3. Use a “chicken stick” or electric
starter to start the engine—
NOT your fingers.
4. Make sure that the wires from
your starter and glow plug clip
cannot become tangled with the
spinning propeller.
5. Do not stand at the side of the
propeller when you start or run
the engine. Even at idle speed,
the spinning propeller will be
nearly invisible.
6. If any engine adjustments are
necessary, approach the engine
only from behind the spinning
propeller.
Please follow these safety precautions:
