SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3
1. Your Slow Ride EP 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, this model, 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.
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 ensure 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 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.

IMPORTANT:
While this ARF has been flight tested to
exceed normal use with the recommended power system
components, the structure of the plane was purposely
designed to be light weight. This results in a plane that
is not as durable as most models. Also be careful when
handling the plane.
We recommend that you do not fly
at full throttle and apply full 3D throws.
This plane will
perform excellent 3D maneuvers flying slowly.
We, as the ARF manufacturer, provide you with a top
quality, thoroughly tested plane 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 that is straight and true.
As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for
operating in a manner that does not endanger yourself and
others or result in damage to the product or the property
of others.
