Remember: Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
If you have not flown this type of model before, we
recommend that you get the assistance of an experienced
pilot for your first flights. If you're not a member of a club,
your local hobby shop has information about clubs in your
area whose membership includes experienced pilots.
In addition to joining an R/C club, we strongly recommend
you join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics). AMA
membership is required to fly at AMA sanctioned clubs.
There are over 2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the
country. Among other benefits, the AMA provides insurance
to its members who fly at AMA sites and events. Additionally,
training programs and instructors are available at AMA club
sites to help you get started the right way. Contact the AMA
at the address or toll-free phone number below:

This is a list of items required to finish the Dazzler that must
be purchased separately. For some of these items there is
more than one option which will require a bit of decision
making ahead of time. Order numbers (in parentheses) are
provided for your convenience.
Engine Selection
There are several engines that will work well in your Dazzler.
We recommend a hot 2-stroke such as an O.S.
®
.46FX
(OSMG0546) or SuperTigre
®
G45 (SUPG0150) for the best
performance. An O.S. FS-52 Surpass
™
(OSMG0852) would
be the best choice for a 4-stroke. Your choice of 2-stroke or
4-stroke will determine the location of the throttle servo and
throttle pushrod exit on the firewall, so plan ahead.
Radio Equipment
The Dazzler will require a good 4-channel radio such as the
Futaba
®
4YF (FUTJ40**) with five servos. If you are the type
of flyer that likes to use flaperons or switch back and forth
between normal rates and extreme high rates, you may want
to consider a six channel computer radio such as the Futaba
6XAS (FUTK34**) to get the most out of the Dazzler.
Items in parentheses such as (GPMQ4243) are suggested
part numbers recognized by distributors and hobby shops
and are listed for your ordering convenience. GPM is the
Great Planes brand, TOP is the Top Flite
®
brand, and HCA
is the Hobbico
®
brand.
