Preflight Checks at the Field

Important:

Be sure your batteries are fully charged,

per the instructions included with your radio system. 

Before each flight, check the screws and nuts that secure the
metal plate holding the motor in place on the motor mount.
Also check the clevises of each control surface for security and
presence of a clevis keeper.

Perform a ground range check before each day’s flying. Proceed
as follows: 

1. Turn the transmitter on. Do not extend the transmitter
antenna. 

2. Turn the model on. 

3. Slowly walk away from the model while moving the control
surfaces. The aircraft should function properly at a distance of
75–100 feet.

4. Make sure all trim levers on the transmitter are in the proper
position.

5. Make sure all servos and switch harness plugs are secure in
the receiver.

The Evolution Trainer Power System has been specifically
designed with the first time pilot in mind. The engine and 
special 3-bladed propeller have been designed to give your Xtra
Easy 2™ the optimum performance for training new RC pilots.
The engine is designed for easy starting and reliable idle to give
you confidence in your equipment allowing you to concentrate
on improving your piloting skills. 

Benefits

Meets AMA noise standards

3-bladed propeller produces lower noise level than standard
10 x 6 prop
Baffle in muffler lowers noise even more

Smaller speed envelope

The new 3-bladed prop design has a lower top speed, so over-
speeding the model is less likely. This will give the beginner
more reaction time while still providing lots of power to climb
out of bad situations.

Preset needle settings

Ready to run out of the box with no break-in period

Needle Valve limiters

Make it impossible for beginners to adjust the needles valves
wrong to the point that the engine will not run

User-friendly 

Easy to start from first try with super reliable idle and 
no-break-in needed

Warning: Before operating the Evolution Alpha
Power System, read and follow all safety
points. A rotating propeller can cause serious
personal injury.

Follow these instructions carefully! If this is the first time you
have run a model airplane engine we recommend that you seek
the help of an experienced modeler. Your local hobby shop can
put you in contact with the flying club in your area.
