INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Great Planes Tori 2-meter EP
Sailplane! The Tori features a carbon boom, folding prop
and fi berglass fuselage. This gives you a glider that is steps
above a conventional foam or all-wood glider. The Tori can
be fl own with either a 2S or 3S LiPo for versatility. See the
Flying section on page 21 for more details.
NOTE: This instruction manual illustrates all the steps
necessary to assemble the ARF (almost ready-to-fl y) edition
of the Tori. However, the Rx-R (receiver-ready) edition
requires less assembly, so if assembling the Rx-R, simply
skim through the manual and perform only steps that apply.
For the latest technical updates or manual revisions, fi nd
the Tori on the Great Planes web site at www.greatplanes.
com. If there is new technical information or changes to this
model, a "Tech Notice" box will appear on the page for the
Tori on the Great Planes web site.

IMPORTANT!!! Two of the most important things you can do to
preserve the radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid fl ying near
full-scale aircraft and avoid fl ying near or over groups of people.
As a new owner of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) it is
your responsibility to operate this vehicle safely following the
FAA rules. Please contact your local authorities to fi nd out
the latest rules and regulations. As of this printing, the FAA

WARNING! A spinning propeller has the potential to cause
serious and permanent injury.

propeller can start spinning at any time. Make sure the Fail
Safe is set on your radio to prevent the motor from starting
if the signal is lost.
WARNING! Stand clear of the propeller when handling
the aircraft. Make sure the aircraft is held securely until the
battery has been disconnected.
While working on your plane, ALWAYS remove the propeller
when the battery is connected.
ALWAYS remove the motor batteries from the plane
when charging.
ALWAYS switch on the transmitter fi rst, then the receiver.
ALWAYS unplug the motor batteries fi rst before switching
off the receiver, then transmitter.
NEVER touch the motor during or right after operation. The
motor gets HOT!
NEVER switch off the transmitter with the motor batteries
plugged in.
NEVER reach through the arc of the propeller when plugging
or unplugging the battery into the ESC.
