INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Great Planes ElectriFly FlyLite
ARF. The original concept for the FlyLite was to develop a
slow-fl ying indoor trainer for beginners or pilots with little R/C
experience. This goal was achieved, but then we found out
how much fun it was to fl y the FlyLite outdoors too! Outdoors
in calm conditions, beginners will have all the space they need
to detect what the FlyLite is doing, process the information,
then make the necessary control inputs. Experienced pilots
will fi nd ways to challenge themselves by fl ying low, high,
close, far and fi guring out what aerobatic tricks they can get
the FlyLite to do. And if thermals are present the FlyLite can
easily achieve twenty-minute (or longer) fl ights!
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
FlyLite visit the Great Planes web site at
www.greatplanes .
com . Open the “Airplanes” link, then select “FlyLite ARF”. If
there is new technical information or changes to this model
a “tech notice” box will appear in the upper left corner of
the page.
AMA
If you are not already a member
of the AMA, please join! The AMA
is the governing body of model
aviation and membership provides
liability insurance coverage,
protects modelers’ rights and
interests and is required to fl y at
most R/C sites. The AMA has two
classes of membership available;
open membership or their Park Pilot Program, which this
aircraft qualifi es for. The Park Pilot Program is for people
fl ying electric aircraft and gliders under two pounds and
which fl y slower than 60mph. This will enable you to enjoy
most AMA benefi ts and organize clubs and fl ying sites in
more congested areas.

IMPORTANT!!!
Two of the most important things you can do to preserve the
radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid fl ying near full-
scale aircraft and avoid fl ying near or over groups of people.
PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF
& OTHERS… FOLLOW THESE
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Your FlyLite should not be considered a toy, but rather a
sophisticated, working model that functions very much like
a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities,
the FlyLite, if not assembled and operated correctly, could
possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage
to property.
2. You must assemble the model according to the instructions.
Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in
an unsafe or unfl yable model. In a few cases the instructions
may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the
written instructions should be considered as correct.
3. You must use an R/C radio system that is in good condition,
a correctly sized motor, and other components as specifi ed
in this instruction manual. All components must be correctly
installed so that the model operates correctly on the ground
and in the air. You must check the operation of the model and
all components before every fl ight.
