INSTRUCTIONS
SOARMASTER COMPACT
For electric power system
and 12 cells
or 3 / 2300 Li-Po cells
This model requires a 5-function radio control system.
Introduction
This model is highly pre-fabricated, and can be assembled ready for flying in a very short period.
The SOARMASTER COMPACT is not designed or stressed for aerobatics, but loops and tightly
banked turns are well within its capability provided that you are smooth and gentle with the controls.
The SOARMASTER COMPACT is very responsive to thermals and circles very well. If the model
should climb to an uncomfortable altitude, the butterfly (crow) setting of the ailerons and camber-
changing flaps provides a reliable means of losing height quickly.
Caution: this model is not a toy!
If you have little or no experience with powered model aircraft of this type, please enlist the help of a
seasoned model flyer who can advise and support you. Attempting to fly the aeroplane without any
prior experience could easily result in personal injury; please keep your safety and well-being in mind
at all times.
Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built many RC models please read right through these instructions very
carefully, and check that all the kit components are actually present before starting construction. We
have invested considerable time and trouble in making assembly as easy as possible, without
compromising safety in any way.
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the work which you
have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model will only be strong and fly well if
you complete your tasks competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
Notes on operating the SOARMASTER COMPACT
Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and operation of your model
before you attempt to operate it for the first time. You alone are responsible for the safe
operation of your radio-controlled model. Young people under 18 years of age should only be
permitted to build and fly this model under the instruction and supervision of an adult who is
aware of the hazards involved in this activity.
These operating instructions should be stored in a safe place, and must be handed on to the
new owner if you ever dispose of the model. If you have questions or queries about operating
this RC model aircraft safely, please contact your local model shop in the first instance, where
the staff will be pleased to advise you.
Radio-controlled model aircraft are extremely demanding and potentially dangerous objects,
and require a high level of specialised knowledge, skill and an awareness of responsibility
from the operator.
