1) Completely charge your transmitter and

2) Check every bolt and every glue joint in
the
SAVAGE CRUISER
to ensure that every-
thing is tight and well bonded.
3) Double check the balance of the air-
plane. Do this with the fuel tank empty.
4) Check the control surfaces. All should
move in the correct direction and not bind
in any way.
5) If your radio transmitter is equipped
with dual rate switches double check that
they are on the low rate setting for your first
few flights.
6) Check to ensure the control surfaces are
moving the proper amount for both low and
high rate settings.
7) Check the receiver antenna. It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside
the fuselage.
We wish you many safe and enjoyable flights
with your SAVAGE CRUISER.
