Select your flying area carefully. Always choose an open space that is unobstructed

from trees, buildings, and away from crowded areas. Avoid flying in areas with roads,

electric or telephone wires, or close proximity to full size air traffic.

Do not fly this model in poor weather including high winds, low visibility, rain, or

thunderstorms.

Never attempt to catch this model whilst in flight. Even a slow moving model can cause

harm to yourself or others.

This model is recommended for children no younger than 14 years old. All chilled

Remain clear from the propeller at all times when the flight battery is connected. A

spinnginpropeller can cause bodily injury.

Before flying always turn ON your transmitter first, then connect your flight battery to

the model.

After flying, always disconnect your flight battery first, then turn OFF your transmitter.

Always exercise caution when charging batteries. Follow the recommended charging

instructions from your battery manufacturer, and use a charger with charging

parameters that match your battery type.

Thank you for purchasing your HobbyKing SuperG Autogyro. This unique model offers

something differing in an easy to use package with minimal assembly and setup time.

Though this model is easy to assemble, we recommend previous model building and

flying experience. If this is your first model, please seek the help of another modeler

who can guide you during the assembly, setup, and first flights.

HobbyKing aircraft follow an extensive design, development, and testing process to

bring reliable and user friendly products to the masses. They undergo extensive quality

control checks at the factory.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before assembling and flying this model.

It is not a toy and if mistreated has the potential to inflict bodily injury or damage

property. It is your responsibility to complete final assembly, setup, and routine pre-flight

checks. Always make sure to check for any loose screws or parts, and that the airframe

is free from damage that may cause failure in flight. HobbyKing is not responsible for

any injury or property damage inflicted due to negligence in assembly or maintenance.

Airframe Assembly

2) Attach aluminum landing gear to fuselage with four M2 x 16mm course thread screws.

3) Apply glue to the wheel pants. Stick wheel pant to aluminum gear to thoroughly spread glue. Glue

works best as a contact adhesive. Stick pant to landing gear, pull off, wait 2 minutes, then

re-attach.

4) Glue horizontal stabilizer to fuselage. Use same contact adhesive method as before. Attach

elevator control rod to elevator control horn.

Airframe Assembly

5) Glue vertical fin to fuselage after attaching horizontal stabilizer. Apply glue into slot on stablizer.

Do not apply excess glue. Attached rudder control rod to control horn.

6) Apply glue to horizontal stabilizer tips. Only apply glue to top and bottom surfaces, not the

stabilzer end. Do not apply glue past the molded ridge. From there, slip on stabilizer sub-fins. Tail

assembly now complete.

7) Apply glue to fuselage and attach winglets

8) Attach propeller and spinner to motor shaft. Text on propeller should face forward. Secure prop

with 10mm nut. Secure spinner to backplate with two screws.

1) Attach tail boom assembly to the forward fuselage section with two M4 x 90mm, and two M4 x

70mm machine screws.

9) Out of the box, one rotor blade is pre-attached to the blade holder. Attach the other two blades

securely to the blade holder using a phillips screwdriver. Blades are designed to be able to fold

easily for transport yet remain tight enough for flight.

10) Slide the main rotor head assembly onto the shaft and then tighten the two locking nuts

provided. After tighening with pliers, complete rotor head assembly by hand tightening the plastic

head button to rotor shaft.

11) Plug each servo into the appropriate channel of your 5+ channel receiver. Refer to our radio

manual for the appropriate channel assignments. Use channel 5 (gear) as the on/off for the

auto-start system.

12) Insert your flight battery into the battery tray and secure with velcro strap. After turning on your

transmitter, plug in the battery to the ESC to arm the whole radio system. After the radio has

armed, plug the auto-start connector into the balance plug of your battery. Double check polarity

before plugging in. Reversed polarity will damage the auto-start system.

**Critical Note** With controls at neutral, adjust control both

control rods for rotor head to tilt it to the left approximately 7

degrees. (Viewed from behind) This is critical, otherwise model

will want to roll severely at takeoff if rotor head is level and may

lead to a crash. Use the supplied laser cut plywood jig

Battery Charging Warnings

1) Before flying this model, check that the model is assembled per this manual and is free

from any damage that may have occured during transport.

2) Insert flight battery, and check for proper center of gravity. Secure battery with velcro

on the bottom of pack and velcro strap around it. If the battery shifts in flight it could

cause a loss of control.

3) Ensure that pushrods and control surfaces move freely with no binding. For best

results, disconnect pushrods and flex the hinges by hand to free up the hinges.

Reconnect control rods prior to first flight.

4) After turning on the transmitter and then connecting the flight battery, perform a full

range test, and then check control direction per the guide above.

5) Conduct a full power test, and ensure that the auto-start system functions properly.

6) Inspect your flight location, making sure it is free from trees, vehicles, people, or other

obstructions before taking off.

**Important Note** For best results, spin the rotor head by hand before

using the auto-start. This will reduce the load on the system, and allow

for faster spool ups.
