FAMILIARIzE YOURSELF WITH ALL INSTRUCTIONS BELOWBEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LAUNCH OR FLY THIS PLANE.

1. Choose a day when the wind is light. The Ribbon (14) attached to the Antenna (13) should be

blowing slightly (not greater than 30 degrees) and not be blowing straight out. Find a wide-openfeld.

2. Switch the Remote Control (9) ON, the green Power LEd on the remote should illuminate- seeFigure 8. I the red Low Battery LEd illuminates, change the batteries in the remote beore

use. Turn the switch on the Fuselage (1) to ON, also.

3. Face the Airplane into the wind. Hold the motor control button down so that the motor is runningat ull power.

Note: It is recommene that two people work together to han launch the Airplane. Oneshoul control the Remote Control an one will launch the Airplane.

16 at a time). Adjust the entire back

edge evenly.

b. I the Airplane continually rises then dives, land the plane immediately and adjust the entire

back edge o the Tail Stabilizer (7) down (no more than 1/16

at a time). Adjust the entireback edge evenly.
