FB Jets Dolphin S 

DISCLAIMER: 

 

THIS IS NOT A TOY

   

 

This is a high-performance miniature aircraft, capable of high speeds and damage to life, limb, and 
property.  The manufacturer and its distributors and author of this manual cannot control how you 
assemble this model, what equipment you use to fit it out, or how you fly it, and can assume no 
liability whatsoever for any damages that may occur when you fly your aircraft.  By assembling this 
model, you are agreeing to indemnify and hold blameless the manufacturer and/or his agents from 
any and all torts and liability associated with the use of this product. 
 
Please inspect all parts before beginning assembly. If any part appears to be suspect, contact your 
dealer or the manufacturer for repair or replacement BEFORE you begin.  
 
Once you have assembled the aircraft, you are the pilot in command and assume any and all 
responsibility for the use of the model and any damages that might occur by flying or attempting to 
fly this aircraft. 
 
R/C model jets require a high level of skill in both their assembly and their flying.  If you do not feel 
confident in either your building or flying skills, PLEASE seek assistance from more experienced 
modelers.  It is a wise idea, no matter what level of skills you possess, to have a second 
experienced modeler go over your installation after assembly. A second set of eyes may spot a 
problem you have missed.  If you have not flown a high performance model like this before, it is 
HIGHLY recommended that you get an experienced turbine pilot to do your maiden flight.  Very 
often, the first few seconds of a maiden flight are critical until the aircraft is trimmed out, and having 
an experienced pilot at the controls can make the difference between a wrecked aircraft and once 
that enjoys many hundreds of flights.  Be sure to select a suitable field for flying...take the time to 
find a large paved runway if at all possible, especially for test flights, until you feel comfortable 
getting the aircraft in and out of smaller grass fields. 
 

Note:

 In the USA it is mandatory that you belong to the Academy of Model Aeronautics and hold a valid Turbine Waiver, please check 

the local governing rules for operation of R/C model jets of your location before flying. 

 

Congratulations on your purchase of the FB Jets Dolphin S
