INTRODUCTION ––––––––––––––––––––––––
Thank you for purchasing the Tower Hobbies EP Corsair Rx-R
™
(receiver-ready) . Everybody likes a Corsair and the Tower Corsair
has enough detail to make a good presentation . The durability
and simplicity of EPO foam also make it the perfect every day
flyer, suitable for R/C club flying sites or your favorite park. And
don’t let the Tower Corsair’s economy fool you—powered by a
3S 1800mAh battery, flight speed is more than “scale-like” and
vertical performance is virtually unlimited!
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
Corsair, visit the Tower Hobbies web site at www .towerhobbies .
com . Open the “Airplanes” link, then select the EP Corsair ARF.
If there is new technical information or changes to this model a
“tech notice” box will appear in the upper left corner of the page.

IMPORTANT:
Two of the most important things you can do to
preserve the radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid flying near
full-scale aircraft and avoid flying near or over groups of people.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ––––––––––––––––
PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF & OTHERS…
FOLLOW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Your EP Corsair 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
Corsair, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly
cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.
2 . You must assemble the Corsair 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 use an R/C radio system that is in good condition.
All components must be correctly installed so that the model
operates correctly on the ground and in the air . You must check
the operation of the model and all components before every flight.
4. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown this type
of model before, we recommend that you get the assistance
of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your first flights.
If you’re not a member of a club, your local hobby shop has
information about clubs in your area whose membership includes
experienced pilots .
5. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use, if the
plane will be used for extremely high stress flying, such as racing,
or if a motor or battery larger than ones in the recommended range
is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to reinforce
the high stress points and/or substituting hardware more suitable
for the increased stress .
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested 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 .
REMEMBER: Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model.
REQUIRED FOR COMPLETION –––––––––
No extraordinary tools or building supplies are required to finish
the EP Corsiar Rx-R—just a Phillips screwdriver and scissors
or a hobby knife. The Corsair is already equipped with servos,
ESC and motor, so the only other components you have to supply
are the following:
■
Minimum 4-channel transmitter and receiver
■
Flyzone 3S 11 .1V 1800mAh LiPo battery (FLZA6024)
or similar
■
LiPo battery charger
Note:
If using a battery with a Deans
®
Ultra
®
connector, a Deans
Ultra
Male-to-SuperTigre
®
ESC adapter (SUPM0040) will also
be required (or the connector on the ESC may simply be replaced
with a Deans
Ultra
Male connector) .
