Important Safety Precautions

#First time flyer should never fly by himself/herself. Assistance from experienced

flyer is absolutely necessary.

#Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying ,it is very dangerous to fly a badly

pre-adjusted aircraft.

#P-38 lightning is specially designed to be powered by 2C 0.60 engine,using a more

powerful engine does not mean better performance.In fact, over powered engine

may cause severe damage and injuries.

#Make sure the air field is spacious ,never fly the plane too close to people and never

get too close to a running propeller.

#If you find wrinkls on the covering as a result of weather changes ,you can use hot

iron to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and

gradually raise the temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may

damage the covering.

#Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws ,use thread locker if applicable.

The ideal C.G.position is 76mm(3in)behind

the leading edge measured at top wing centre line.

In order to obtain the C.G.specified ,add weight to

the fuselage or move the battery position.Check the

C.G.before flying.
