I. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & ASSEMBLY TIPS
(
IMPORTANT – READ THIS SECTION BEFORE YOU BEGIN ASSEMBLY
)
1.
This product should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that
functions much like a full-scale airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, this product, if
not assembled and operated correctly, could cause injury to you or spectators and damage to
property. Maxford USA provides you with a high-quality, thoroughly tested model airplane kit with
assembly instructions. However, the quality and capabilities of your finished model airplane
depend on how you assemble it, and your safety depends on how you use and fly it. Any testing or
flying of this model airplane is done entirely at your own risk.
2.
Assemble this model airplane according to these instructions. Do not alter or modify the model
beyond the assembly and power-system options covered in these instructions, as doing so may
result in an unsafe or unworkable model. If the instructions differ from the photos, the written
instructions should be considered correct. If you have any question or concern about these
instructions, before you proceed with assembly of this product, contact your dealer or speak to a
Maxford USA customer service representative at 562-529-3988 (Monday through Friday, except
national holidays, 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time).
3.
While this kit has been flight-tested to meet or exceed our rigid performance and reliability
standards in normal use, if you elect to perform any extremely high-stress flying, such as racing or
advanced aerobatics, or if you install a much larger power system than specified, you (the buyer or
user of this product) are solely responsible for taking any and all necessary steps to reinforce the
high-stress points and/or substitute hardware that is more suitable for such increased stresses.
4.
Throughout the lifetime of this model, use only the Maxford USA-recommended power system and
a new or well-maintained radio-control system.
5.
It is your responsibility to install the receiver and connect the R/C components in such a way that
this model airplane passes all applicable safety/range tests and that the power system and
controls operate correctly and smoothly.
6.
Recheck the operation of this model airplane before every flight to ensure that all equipment is
still operating correctly and that the model has remained structurally sound. Also before every
flight, check all electrical, control and structural connections; do not fly without replacing any that
you find damaged or worn.
7.
Before you begin assembly of this model airplane, read all instructions and test-fit each part to
ensure you fully understand the instructions and that no parts are missing, damaged or
unsatisfactory. Temperature and/or humidity differences between the factory, our warehouse and
your home or workshop may dictate the need for slight adjustments to the wings, struts and/or
the horizontal stabilizer’s mounting surfaces to ensure proper alignment; we recommend you
contact us before attempting any such adjustments.
8.
To help ensure the security of your servo connections, we recommend use of optional
Maxford USA servo-extension safety clips as pictured at the right. (For information
about safety clips see

.)
9.
Assemble EZ-Link connectors as shown
at the far right. When applying thread-
lock compound or CA adhesive, do
NOT
glue the EZ-Link connector to the
control arm or mounting tab. Also, be
careful to not let the pushrod rub or
bind against nearby surfaces.
