Thank you for purchasing one of the finest Sport 3-D fun-fly
models available. The Pizazz™is an outstanding model for club
fun-fly events and also is a great 3-D sport aircraft. The Pizazz
uses a conventional two-aileron setup, with separate servos
for each aileron, allowing the you to program each aileron
seperately. This is especially useful for “flapperon” configuration
of the control surfaces.
This configuration offers excellent slow speed and stall
characteristics that allow even inexperienced pilots to feel at
home. Plus, it offers aerobatic capabilities that will have your
flying buddies drooling.
To get the most out of your Pizazz, we strongly suggest using
a computer radio system. This allows you to explore the various
mixes available with computer radio systems.
With a little practice, you could be doing 3-D tricks you never
thought possible. Plus, you’ll have fun learning about your
computer radio and its capabilities.
Don’t miss out on the fun.
If you encounter difficulty in any construction sequence, please
contact one of our technicians—we stand ready to provide any
assistance we can concerning the construction of your Pizazz.
