Your Flyzone
™
Skysailer is not a toy, but rather a
sophisticated, working model that functions very much
like an actual powered hang glider. Because of its
realistic performance, the model, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to
yourself and spectators or damage property.
We highly recommend that you get experienced,
knowledgeable help with assembly and during your
first flights, to make your R/C modeling experience
totally enjoyable. You’ll learn faster and avoid risking
your model before you’re truly ready to solo. Your local
hobby shop has information about flying clubs in your
area whose membership includes qualified instructors.
You can also contact the national Academy of Model
Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500
chartered clubs across the country. Instructor training
programs and insured newcomer training are
available through any one of these clubs.

1. Assemble the Skysailer according to the instructions.
Do not alter or modify the model. If you make any
modifications, you will void your warranty.
2. Test the operation of the model before each flight
to insure that all equipment is operating properly,
and that the model remains structurally sound.
3. Fly only on calm days (with wind speeds less than
7mph) and in large open areas free of trees, people,
buildings or any other obstacles.
Remember: Take your time and follow the
instructions to end up with a well-built model that is
straight, durable and easy to fly.
The R/C model hobby becomes more and more
enjoyable as your experience grows. Your chances for
success and graduation to higher levels are very good
if you take your time and follow the assembly and
flying instructions carefully and completely. We hope
you enjoy flying your Flyzone Skysailer.
Electronic Speed Control with Auto Cut-off: This unit
controls the motor. Also, it monitors the battery voltage
and turns off the motor when the voltage gets low. That
way there will be enough battery power remaining to
operate the steering control for landing.
Motor: The motor rotates the prop to provide thrust.
NiMH Battery: Rechargeable batteries which are
used as power for the hang glider’s motor .
Sail: The wing part of the hang glider is called the sail.
Undercarriage: The battery and radio system are
installed in the undercarriage and hang under the sail.
Transmitter (TX): This is the hand-held unit that
sends the signal to the receiver. As you move the
sticks on the transmitter, the motor and sail will react
accordingly.
