Instructions and User Manual
P R E FA C E
Congratulations on your purchase of the new CALIMA. The CALIMA is a allround motorglider with a dynamic flight
envelope. It can be flown within in a broad speed range. There are various ways of constructing the model, depen-
ding on your preferences. Therefore the solutions stated in this manual should only be considered as recommen-
dations. For the most parts, the PNP (plug and play) version is already prefabricated. The ARF version (almost ready
to fly) requires modeling experience and basic technical knowledge in construction. Thus there are different ways
to achieve a model with good flight skills. This is why most alternatives are in fact explained in the manual but not
necessary shown in the pictures. Please read this manual carefully before you start assembling the model.

• Before the first flight, observe the instructions in the „Safety Instructions“ section.
• To fly in the model, you should choose a day with as little wind as possible
• A large, flat meadow without obstacles (trees, fences power lines etc.) is suitable for the first flights.
• Carry out another functional test of the drive and remote control.
• After assembling the model on the airfield, check once again that all model components such as wing, tail units,
wing mounts, engine, linkage, etc. are firmly seated.
• For the hand start a helper should be present, who can transport the model with not too little thrust into the air.
• The start usually takes place against the wind
• Do not stall the model near the ground
• Do not initiate tight bends in the immediate vicinity of the ground.
• Check the reactions of the model to the rudder deflections. If necessary, the rashes after landing
• to increase or decrease the size accordingly.
• The minimum flight speed must be at an adequate safety altitude.
• Initiate the landing with sufficient speed

• Do not change or open the battery
• Only charge the battery with suitable chargers, never connect it directly to a power supply unit.
• Never charge or discharge the battery or charger on a flammable surface.
• Never leave the battery unattended during charging or discharging processes.
• Never charge or discharge the battery in direct sunlight or near heaters or fire.
• Do not use the battery in places subject to high static discharge.
All this can cause the battery to be damaged, explode or even catch fire!
• Keep the battery away from children
• Do not associate leaked electrolyte with fire, as it is highly flammable and may ignite.
• The electrolyte liquid should not get into the eyes, if it does, rinse immediately with plenty of clear water and
then see a doctor.
• The electrolyte liquid can also escape from clothes and other objects with a lot of water or washed off.
• Observe the safety instructions of the battery manufacturer and the charger manufacturer.
