Warning!
*This aircraft is for intermediate to advanced builders and flyers only. Biginners connot fly and building this aircraft.
*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.
*Even though the kit's supplied with fitted linkages, inprpely assembling then can result in binding or loose control
surfaces. This can cause flutter and aircraft control problems. Make suer all linkages are tight and control surfases
move properly before flying.
*This aircraft is designed for 2-stroke .10~.15 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.

Before flying your airplane, ensure
the airfield is spacious enough.
Always fly it outdoors in safe areas
with no debris or obstacles!
For proper radio handling, refer to
its explanations.
Ensure the spinner and propeller
are securely installed.
If the airplane begins to operate by
itself, somebody else is on your fre-
quency. Do not attempt to operate
it under such condition for you may
lose of control of it.
Fully extend
the antenna
(transmitter).
Switch on the transmitter.
Move the sticks on your transmitter
to ensure that all controls move
according to your inputs and the
way you adjusted them.
Only use genuine KYOSHO parts.
Hand-launch your airplane into the
wind to make it take off.
Do not fly your airplane on days
with strong winds or side winds.
Always land your airplane into the
wind.
Switch off the transmitter.
Proper maintenance extends the
life of your airplane.
Cautions for Safety
Do not allow watching people to get too
close to a rotating propeller.
Disuse defective propellers as well as
deformed spinners.
R
THE FINEST RADIO CONTROL MODELS
Ensure the main wing is securely
installed.
Switch on the receiver.
Switch off the receiver.
Fill the fuel tank.
For starting the engine, apply low
throttle and hold the engine starter
against the spinner.
Adjust the needle.
Draw out the remaining fuel from the
fuel tank and fill it back into the can.
By moving the throttle control stick,
ensure the carburetor opens and
closes without effort.
Bring your airplane to a halt by
lowering the throttle trim.
After each flight, the engine is very
hot. Beware of getting burned!
Adjust the engine always from behind,
but never from infront or the sides as
a rotating propeller may badly injure
you!
If the dry batteries in the radio are
flat, replace them with fresh ones.
Do not fly your airplane above people
standing around.
Never throw burning, gleaming or
smouldering things into fuel cans,
even if these happen to be empty.
This will result in serious injury!
