Before Flying

Before flying your airplane, ensure

the airfield is spacious enough.

Always fly it outdoors in safe areas

with no debris or obstacles!

For handling the radio properly,

refer to its instruction manual.

Ensure the spinner and propeller are

securely attached.

If your airplane begins to operate by

itself, there is another transmitter on

your frequency. Immediately stop

your airplane; otherwise you may

lose control of it which will result in

accidents.

Fully extend

the transmitter

antenna.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch on the receiver.

Ensure the wings are securely

attached.

Flying

Fill the fuel tank.

By moving the control sticks, ensure

all control surfaces moves as per

your adjustments.

For starting the engine, apply low

throttle and hold the engine starter

against the spinner.

Adjust the needle.

After Flying

Only use KYOSHO genuine parts!

Cautions for Safety

Adjust the engine always from behind,

but never from infront or the sides as

a rotating propeller may badly injure

you!

Do not allow watching people to get

too close to a rotating propeller.

Immediately disuse defective pro-

pellers as well as deformed spinners.

If the dry batteries in the radio are

flat, replace them with fresh ones.

Do not fly your airplane above people

standing around.

ON

Hand-launch your airplane into the

wind to make it take off.

Do not fly your airplane when there

is a strong wind or a lateral wind.

Always land your airplane into the

wind.

Bring your airplane to a halt by

lowering the throttle trim.

After each flight, the engine is very

hot. Beware of getting burned!

Wipe away any fuel deposits or dirt.

Never throw burning, gleaming or

smouldering things into fuel cans,

even if these happen to be empty.

This will result in serious injury!

WIND

OFF

OFF ON

Switch off the receiver.

Switch off the transmitter.
