This model aircraft is designed for Intermediate to Experienced fliers. Beginners should seek advice for pre-flight adjustments
and assembly from more experienced fliers. Be aware that flying a badly assembled or badly adjusted aircraft is very
dangerous!
At the start, first-time fliers should always be assisted by an experienced flier and NEVER fly alone!
This model aircraft is designed to be powered by either a 2 stroke .40 ~ .46 size engine or a 4 stroke .48 ~ .53 size engine.
Installing a more powerful engine than specified or flying this model dangerously could lead to serious injury and/or damage
to property.
Do not overlook this symbol!

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 genuine KYOSHO parts.
Safety Precautions
Always adjust the engine from
behind, and never from in front or
from the side. A rotating propeller
could badly injure you.
Do not allow spectators to get too
close to the model, especially a
rotating propeller.
Immediately replace defective
propellers and spinners.
Always ensure that your
transmitter and receiver batteries
are fully charged.
For best results,
use rechargeble
Nicd cells.
Do not fly your aeroplane too close
to spectators.

After each flight, the engine will be
very hot. Be careful to avoid
accidentally burning yourself.
Wipe up any fuel deposits or dirt.
Never dispose of fuel or fuel cans
in fires, as this could cause serious
injury.
