Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice of a factory-assembled
model aircraft from the robbe Modellsport range. Many
thanks for placing your trust in us.
The model can be ready for the air when you have completed
just a few simple procedures. Please read right through
these instructions and the separate information sheets
before attempting to assemble and fly the model, as this will
make it much easier to complete the tasks required.
Please study the illustrations and the brief instructions to
obtain a clear understanding of the individual stages of
construction. All parts must be trial-fitted “dry” (without glue)
before you reach for the glue. Assign the individual compon-
ents to the various stages of assembly.
The servos are already installed, connected to the control
surfaces, and fitted with extension leads.
All directions, such as “right-hand”, are as seen from the
tail of the model, looking forward.
We constantly strive to update our products to reflect the
latest developments.

Notes regarding the radio control system:
For this model you require a radio control system with at least
four channels.
The receiving system is powered by the speed controller’s
integral BEC system.
Servo leads with differing colour codes are used in the model:
Signal:
white / orange
Positive wire: red / red
Negative wire: black / brown
Please bear this in mind when connecting or extending the leads.
Before you check the model‘s working systems, set the con-
trol surfaces to neutral from the transmitter (transmitter sticks
and trims central).
Before flying the model always move the throttle stick to the
“motor stopped” position before switching the transmitter on.
Only then connect the flight battery.
To switch off, first disconnect the flight pack from the speed
controller, and only then switch the transmitter off.
When installing or setting up the receiving system compo-
nents, including the speed controller and motor, be sure to
read and observe the instructions supplied with them.
You should also read right through the instructions and safety
information supplied with the battery pack and charger before
using these items for the first time.
Painting the model, applying the decals:
This model is supplied with decals already applied. No pain-
ting is required.
