Welcome to the world of amphibious RC ﬂ ight! Even if this isn’t your ﬁ rst ﬂ oat plane experience, you’re in for some of the most fun you will ever have ﬂ ying off
the water. Not only is the ParkZone

ICON A5 a licensed replica of the most exciting light sport airplane in general aviation, it was actually designed with the

assistance of the ICON Aircraft Company. As a result, it boasts a near-perfect scale outline and a special hull design that makes water takeoffs and landings
remarkably easy to master.
Before you take that ﬁ rst ﬂ ight though, you must read this manual thoroughly. In addition to step-by-step assembly instructions, it contains important preﬂ ight and
setup tips as well as a handy troubleshooting guide. It’s all here to make sure your ﬁ rst ﬂ ight, and every one after, is as rewarding as can be.
