LiteHawk CHASE Instruction Manual     3    

Welcome to the World of LiteHawk!

   Welcome aboard, this is your new LiteHawk CHASE! Before we get ready for 

your 

fi

 rst water adventure, let’s cover the basics together!

   The design of your new boat is referred to as a Catamaran or twin hull, this 

design allows the boat to lift out of the water as it approaches speeds of over 20 

km/h (12.5 mph).  This design also allows for increased agility - CHASE corners 

like it’s on rails and turns your pool into a racetrack!

   Attempting to use your LiteHawk CHASE without completely reading the manual 

may cause injury to yourself and people in the vicinity, as well as damage to 

the R/C model.  Please read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before using this 

product.
