This aircraft has been flight tested with snap-rolls and other aerobatic maneuvers.However,repeated violent
maneuvers may overstress the airframe. Please fly in a way that will not otherstress the airframe.
Repeated flyng can cause stress cracks to appear in the wood and joints, please inspect after each flight. If any
abnormalities are noted, repair immediately befor the next flight to avoid accsidents.
Glue joints can loosen even thoogh they appear to be tight. If you notice irregular flight, investigate the cause and
repair it befor the next flight.
This aircraft is designed for 2 stroke .46-.60 or 4 stroke .70 -.91 sized engines only. Using larger,more powerful
engens is not safe and may result in airframe failure.Do not exceed the recommended engine size or engage in
extreme aerobatic maneuvers.

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.

ON
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.
