IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TO PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF & OTHERS
1.
This product should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working scale model that functions much like a full-scale
airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, this product, if not assembled and operated correctly, could cause injury to you
or spectators and damage to property. Maxford USA provides you with a high-quality, thoroughly tested model airplane kit with
assembly instructions. However, the quality and capabilities of your finished model airplane depends on how you build it, and
your safety depends on how you use and fly it. Any testing or flying of this model airplane is done entirely at your own risk.
2.
Assemble the model airplane according to these instructions. We recommend that you do not alter or modify the model, as doing
so may result in an unsafe or unworkable model. In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos; in those
instances the written instructions should be considered as correct. If you have any question or concern about these instructions,
before you proceed with assembly of this product, contact us at (562) 529-3988, Monday through Friday, except national holidays,
between 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific time.
3.
It is your responsibility to install the R/C system and other components in such a way that this model airplane passes all ground
safety/range tests and that the power system and controls operate smoothly and correctly.
4.
Recheck the operation of this model airplane before every flight to ensure that all equipment is still operating correctly and that
the model has remained structurally sound. Also before every flight, check all clevises and other connectors; do not fly without
replacing any that you find damaged or defective.
5.
If you are not an experienced R/C pilot or have not flown this type of model before, we recommend that you get the assistance of
an experienced R/C pilot.
6.
Throughout the lifetime of this model, use only the Maxford USA-recommended or equivalent electric motor and a new or well-
maintained R/C radio system and the Maxford USA-recommended or equivalent batteries.
7.
LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING & USAGE WARNING!! When using LiPo batteries, read the battery‟s instruction sheet or
on-line information. Failure to follow all instructions could result in permanent damage to the battery, its surroundings, and
bodily harm! If you crash this model airplane, check for battery damage. Do NOT use or charge a damaged Li-Po battery.
ONLY use a Li-Po approved charger.
(NEVER use a NiCd/NiMH charger!)
ALWAYS set the charger‟s output to match the
battery‟s voltage and mAh ratings.
ALWAYS charge through the battery‟s “charge”
connector. (NEVER charge its “discharge” leads.)
ALWAYS charge in a fireproof location.
NEVER place on combustible materials or
leave unattended during charge or discharge.
NEVER charge a LiPo battery in excess of 4.2V per cell.
NEVER discharge a LiPo battery below 2.5V per cell.
NEVER allow battery temp. to exceed 150° F (65° C).
NEVER charge at a current greater than 1C (for example,
in the case of a 2100 mAh battery, that‟s 2.1 amps).
NEVER trickle charge.
NEVER disassemble or modify pack wiring in any way
nor puncture any of the battery‟s cells.
KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
8.
Read and follow warnings enclosed with your CA adhesive. Apply CA adhesive carefully – Excess drips or runs will leave
unsightly residue and/or „smoky/cloudy areas‟ on nearby surfaces.
9.
For your consideration, some customers have told us they always glue some extra triangular-shaped balsa wood to reinforce the
area where the plywood motor box attaches to the firewall on their 300W and larger electric-powered airplanes.
(This may be a
good idea!
)
10.
While this kit has been flight-tested to meet or exceed our rigid performance and reliability standards in normal use, if you plan to
perform any high-stress flying or if you plan to install a larger motor than specified, you (the buyer or user of this product) are
solely responsible for taking any and all necessary steps to reinforce the high-stress points and/or substitute hardware that is more
suitable for such increased stresses.
11.
This model may include some fiberglass and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic parts that might require some cutting or sanding.
Fiberglass and carbon-fiber dust may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. If you ever grind, drill or sand such parts,
always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves; never blow into such a part to remove fiberglass or carbon-fiber
dust, as the dust may blow back into your face.
