Preflight checks:
a) Double-check the security of the motor nacelles. Make certain all connections throughout
the air frame are secure.
b) Double-check the control directions and amount of control throw of the ailerons, elevators,
rudders and throttle.
c) As with all radio-controlled model airplanes, this model must pass the radio range ground
check recommended by your radio’s manufacturer or you may not fly safely.
d) Make certain your transmitter’s throttle is safely set to minimum before turning ON your
transmitter and receiver. Carefully operate your radio-control and power system according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
VIII. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & ASSEMBLY TIPS
(
IMPORTANT – READ THIS SECTION BEFORE YOU BEGIN ASSEMBLY
)
1.
This product should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working 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
depend on how you assemble 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 this model airplane according to these instructions. Do not alter or modify the model
beyond the assembly and power-system options covered in these instructions, as doing so may
result in an unsafe or unworkable model. If the instructions differ from the photos or
instructional video, the written instructions should be considered correct. If you have any
question or concern about these instructions, before you proceed with assembly of this product,
contact your dealer or speak to a Maxford USA customer service representative at 562-529-3988
(Monday through Friday, except national holidays, 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time).
3.
While this kit has been flight-tested to meet or exceed our rigid performance and reliability
standards in normal use, if you elect to perform any extremely high-stress flying, such as racing or
advanced aerobatics, or if you install a much larger power system 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.
4.
Throughout the lifetime of this model, use only the Maxford USA-recommended power system
and a new or well-maintained radio-control system.
5.
It is your responsibility to install the receiver and connect the R/C components in such a way that
this model airplane passes all applicable safety/range tests and that the power system and
controls operate correctly and smoothly.
6.
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 electrical, control and structural connections; do not fly without replacing any that
you find damaged or worn.
7.
Before you begin assembly of this model airplane, preview all instructions and test-fit each part to
ensure you fully understand the instructions and that no parts are missing, damaged or
unsatisfactory. Temperature and/or humidity differences between the factory, our warehouse
and your home or workshop may dictate the need for slight adjustments to the wings and/or the
vertical or horizontal stabilizer’s mounting surfaces to ensure proper alignment; however, we
recommend you contact us before you attempt any such adjustments.
8.
To help ensure the security of your servo and and similar connections, we
recommend use of optional Maxford USA servo-extension safety clips.
