1. It is important to adjust, or “trim”, your electric free flight Sky Vapor correctly.
2. Before launching the Sky Vapor, grasp the airplane fuselage and with the motor off, gently toss the Sky Vapor into the wind.
It should glide straight ahead and settle gently to the ground. See the diagram below.
A = Dive. Bend both ruddervators up slightly.
B = Stall. Bend both ruddervators down slightly.
C = Correct flight path.
D = To turn left, bend the right ruddervator up slightly.
E = To turn right, bend the left ruddervator up slightly.
3. Repeat step 2 until your airplane glides well.

SAFETY RULES
• ALWAYS LAUNCH THE AIRPLANE AWAY
FROM PEOPLE AND OBSTACLES
•
NEVER POINT THE AIRPLANE AT
ANYONE OR ANYTHING
• ALWAYS LAUNCH SKYWARD
• DO NOT LAUNCH INDOORS
1. Choose an open field, free of trees, power
lines and other obstacles. Hold the Sky Vapor
in your hand over your head and switch on the
motor with your other hand. Toss the Sky
Vapor into the wind, keeping the wing level.
2. The Sky Vapor should climb gently and turn
gradually. If it stalls and crashes or does not
turn, adjust the ruddervators. Refer to
“TRIMMING YOUR ELECTRIC SKY VAPOR”
for details.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
WHEN YOU
ARE FLYING YOUR ELECTRIC
FREE FLIGHT SKY VAPOR
The most important thing that determines how
well your Sky Vapor flies is how well you have
trimmed it.
Because it can fly high and far, you must be in a
large area away from houses, streets, trees and
overhead wires.
Closely inspect your airplane after every flight.
Make sure the wing and tail are not broken and
that they are securely attached to the fuselage
and tail bracket.
Always throw the electric free flight Sky Vapor
into the wind. Do not fly the airplane if it is
too windy.
Never charge your airplane for more than 60
seconds. If you do, you may overheat the
batteries in the Sky Vapor or your charger and
damage them.
REPAIR: If the fuselage, wing or tail is cracked or
damaged, apply white glue and cellophane tape
and let dry overnight. To replace the tail section,
run it under warm water to soften the glue. Gently
pull the tail section away from the tail bracket.
Carefully remove any remaining foam or glue
with a hobby knife. Replacement tail sections
should be attached using white glue.
WARNING: Do not use super glue. It will
damage the foam. If the wing or tail becomes
damaged, apply cellophane tape over the
damaged area.
