Caution: this model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an experienced
model flyer for help and support. If you attempt to operate the aeroplane without
knowing what you are doing, you could easily injure yourself or somebody else.
Please keep your safety and well-being in mind at all times.
Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right through
these instructions and check that all the kit components are actually present. We
have taken great trouble to keep construction as simple as possible, without making
any compromises in the area of safety.
Check that the radio control system is working correctly and at full range before every
flight: check that all the control surfaces work smoothly and immediately at an
appropriate distance, and deflect in the correct ‘sense’ (direction) relative to the stick
movements.
If you are a relative beginner to model flying, we recommend that you enlist the aid of
an experienced model pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
The receiving system components and control linkages must be installed at the
appropriate stage of construction, as it may be very difficult or even impossible to in-
stall them later.
When you are buying a radio control system it is important to ensure that the trans-
mitter and receiving system are designed for use with model aircraft, and are ap-
proved by your national Post Office approvals authority. All RC units should possess
an FTZ series approval number.
Please remember that other radio systems and radio-frequency apparatus are also
permitted to operate in the frequency ranges used by model radio control equipment,
and there is no guarantee that your system will not suffer interference caused by
such apparatus.
If you are not sure whether this applies to you, contact your nearest Post Office
Telecommunications office. Your local model shop will also have this information.
Note regarding the film covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations
in weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a
slight warp in a component. These minor faults are in the nature of film-covered built-
up wooden structures, and can easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly
used for modelling.
