The ElectriFly by Great Planes FlatOut Flatana ™ ARF is an
excellent way to enjoy 3D aerobatics without the cost and
headaches of giant-scale gasoline-powered models. After a
couple of hours on the workbench, your FlatOut Flatana
ARF will be ready to tackle torque rolls, walls, harriers, high-
alpha rolling circles and more! An excellent indoor or calm-
day outdoor performer, this airplane is a virtually unlimited
3D aerobat, but flying it involves only connecting the battery,
throttling up, and letting go!
Take care to build straight and true . Misaligned parts will
hurt the airplane’s ability to perform the extreme aerobatics
it is designed for.

& OTHERS...FOLLOW THESE
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A NOTE ABOUT METRIC DIMENSIONS
Since the parts of this airplane have been designed with
metric dimensions, the metric size (in millimeters) of the
parts is listed first in the text. For convenience, we have
listed close approximations of these sizes in the English
system (inches), but be aware that these conversions are
only approximate.
CAUTION: Be aware that the FlatOut Flatana ARF is
operated on the same frequency band as larger, “regular”
R/C models. If flying your FlatOut Flatana ARF within five
miles of an R/C site, there is a real possibility that you
could be operating your model on the same frequency
(channel) as another R/C pilot. If this happens a crash will
result–with the person flying the more expensive model
suffering the greater loss (and having greater potential for
property damage or injury). The best thing to do is to join
an R/C club and fly at the site where frequency control
measures will be in effect. If you insist on flying elsewhere
always be aware of your proximity to R/C flying sites .
