1. Your Hobbistar .60 MKIII 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 Hobbistar .60 MKIII, 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 unflyable 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 take time to
build straight
,
true
and
strong
.
4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-
class condition, and a correctly sized engine and
components (fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the
building process.
5. You must correctly install all R/C and other
components so that the model operates correctly on
the ground and in the air.
6. You must check the operation of the model before
every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating
and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be
sure to check clevises or other connectors often and
replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.
7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot,
you should fly the model only with the help of a
competent, experienced R/C pilot.
These are the items not supplied with the Hobbistar .60
MKIII that must be purchased separately. Where
appropriate, order numbers are provided in parentheses.
RADIO SYSTEM
A 4-channel radio control system with four servos is
required to fly the Hobbistar .60 MKIII. 4 “channels”
means that the radio is capable of operating four
controls. On a trainer model such as the Hobbistar
the controls are the ailerons, elevator, throttle and
rudder. Some 4-channel radio control systems
include only three servos, so a fourth servo may
have to be purchased separately.
ENGINE
A .60 to .65 cu in two-stroke model airplane engine
is required to fly the Hobbistar .60 MKIII. Basically,
there are two types of two-stroke engines; “ball
bearing” and “non ball bearing” engines. In addition
to having a crankshaft supported by two ball
bearings, most ball bearing engines have other
performance features that boost power and RPM
(and price). For the Hobbistar .60 MKIII, an
economical, non ball bearing engine is more than
suitable. Should you decide to go “all-out” and
Items Required
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a
top quality kit and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and flyability of your finished model
depends on how you build it; therefore, we
cannot in any way guarantee the performance of
your completed model, and no representations
are expressed or implied as to the performance or
safety of your completed model.
