Y
our Hobbico Hobbistar .60 MKII is not a toy,
but rather a sophisticated, working model that
functions very much like an actual airplane.
Because of its realistic performance, the
Hobbistar .60 MKII, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury
to yourself or spectators and damage property.
If this is your first trainer, or if you are
uncomfortable in making the initial flight of
your Hobbistar .60 MKII, it is recommended
that you get help from an experienced,
knowledgeable modeler with your initial
flights.
You may also want to contact the Academy of
Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more
than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country.
Through the AMA, you should either be able to
locate a modeler nearby that can help, or at
least be able to phone one that can verbally
instruct you for any potential problems that
could occur. Contact the AMA at the address or

WARNING! This is not a Toy!
Please follow these safety precautions:
Before you fly:
1. Make sure that no other fliers are using your radio
frequency.
2. Your radio transmitter must be the FIRST thing you
turn ON, and the LAST thing you turn OFF.
3. Double check all control surfaces.
4. Make sure that the transmitter & receiver batteries are
fully charged.
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. Model fuel will evaporate, so
make sure that you always store it with the
cap secure.
When starting and running your engine:
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.
