Your Uberlite 2-1 should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very much 

like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the Uberlite, if not assembled and operated correctly, 
could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

 1.   Operate the plane 

according to the instructions

DO NOT

 alter or modify the model. If you make any modifications, 

you void your warranty.

 2.   

Test

 the operation of the model 

before each flight

 to ensure that all equipment is operating properly and that the 

model remains structurally sound.

 3.  Fly indoors or outdoors only on very calm days and in large open areas free of trees, people, buildings, or any 

other obstacles.

 4.  Although the Uberlite is designed to be successfully flown by the first time pilot, you may still benefit from the 

assistance of an experienced pilot for your first flights. If you’re not a member of an R/C club, your local hobby 
shop has information about clubs in your area whose membership includes experienced pilots. You can also contact 
the National Academy of Aeronautics (AMA) which has over 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Instructor 
training programs and insured newcomer training are available through any of these clubs. Contact the AMA at 
the following address or toll-free phone number:

The R/C model hobby becomes more and more enjoyable as your experience grows. Your chances for success and

We hope you enjoy flying your Uberlite plane.
