Congratulations on your purchase of the
Protégé 60 ARF
. Every effort has been made
to produce a lightweight, straight, easy to
assemble aircraft. Quality hardware compo-
nents have been provided, It is your responsibil-
ity as an pilot to fly the aircraft in an intelligent
manner. Carl Goldberg Products has flown the
Protégé 60 ARF through
a very rigorous flight-
testing schedule and have stressed the airframe
beyond all practical parameters without a single
failure. Carl Goldberg Products will NOT war-
rant the
Protégé 60 ARF
against flutter due to
improper set-up or excessive speed maneuvers.
having said that, we believe you will find the
Protégé 60 ARF to
be one of the best trainers
on the market .
We are very proud of the construction of the
Protégé 60 ARF
and all of our other ARF air-
craft. Each aircraft is jig built to insure a straight
true airframe. Every effort is made to build as
light an aircraft as possible. As with any profes-
sional builder, glue is used sparingly.
Please
take a moment during assembly and run a
bead of Ultra Set™ CA or aliphatic resin into
the high stress joints that you can reach
such as the landing gear plate, servo mount-
ing trays, wing hold down blocks, etc
. Also,
during the course of shipping from the manufac-
turer to our facility in the United States, it is not
uncommon for the aircraft to experience several
changes in climate. This may cause the iron-on
covering to develop wrinkles. This is not a fault
of the manufacturer. Please take a few minutes
with your heating iron and heat gun to iron
down the seams and re-shrink the covering
where needed. The results will be a beautiful
aircraft with a breathtaking finish that you will
be proud to display at your flying club.
Before beginning assembly of your
Protégé 60
ARF
, we highly recommend that you study this
manual in its entirety. You should begin planning
your radio installation based on your choice of
engine and equipment from the beginning.
