Pre-Flight Checks

Only fly model aeroplanes in areas

away from houses and places

where people gather. The weight

and speed of your aeroplane make

it a potential hazard. Make sure

that the area around you is clear.

For radio equipment, refer to the

instruction manual included with

your set.

Check that the spinner and the

propeller are securely fastened.

If the model begins to operate by

itself, there is another transmitter

operating on your frequency. Do

not try to operate your model if

this happens, but change your

transmitter and receiver crystals

to another frequency.

Fully extend

transmitter

aerial.

Switch on the transmitter.

Switch on the receiver.

Check that the wings are properly

and firmly affixed.

Flying

Fill the fuel tank.

By moving the various transmitter

controls, ensure that all control

surfaces move the way you

intend them to.

To start the engine, set low throttle

on the transmitter and hold the

engine starter against the spinner.

Switch on engine starter.

Adjust the throttle needle.

After Flying

Only use KYOSHO genuine parts.

Safety Precautions

Always regulate the engine from behind,

but never from infront or from the sides,

because a rotating propeller might badly

injure you.

Do not allow watching people to get too

close to a rotating propeller.

Immediately disuse defective propellers

as well as deformed spinners.

If the batteries of the radio system

are flat, replace them with new ones.

Do not fly your airplane above people

standing around.

Launch the aeroplane into the wind.

Do not fly your aeroplane if it is a

windy day or there are strong

cross winds.

Always land your airplane into the

wind.

Bring your airplane to a halt by

lowering the engine control trim.

After each flight, the engine is hot. Be-

ware of getting burned.

Wipe up any fuel deposits or dirt.

Never throw burning, gleaming or smoul-

dering things into fuel cans, even if

these happen to be empty. This could

result in serious injury.

WIND

OFF

OFF ON

Switch off the receiver.

Switch off the transmitter.

OFF

Draw the remaining fuel out of the tank

and fill it back into the can.

Move the throttle control stick

on the transmitter and check

that the carburettor opens and

closes easily.
