INTRODUCTION

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Kunai. The

Kunai's versatility makes it one of those models that everybody

should own! It can be ﬂ own like a glider, like an aerobatic

plane, like a hotliner or even like a pylon racer. When you

put the pedal to the metal the Kunai's light weight, thin wing

and clean lines allow it to reach warp speed right away! And

when you cut the throttle the prop folds back and the Kunai

conserves energy, allowing thrilling, power-off ﬂ y-bys with the

only sound the whoosh of air as the Kunai silently speeds by.

And if you dump the spoilerons the Kunai slows to a crawl for

thermal seeking and easy, feather-light landings.

For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the

Kunai visit the Great Planes web site at www.greatplanes.com.

Open the "Airplanes" link, then select the Kunai. If there is

new technical information or changes to this model a "tech

notice" box will appear in the upper left corner of the page.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Protect Your Model, Yourself & Others...

Follow These Important Safety Precautions

1. Your Kunai should not be considered a toy, but rather a

sophisticated, working model that functions very much like

a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities,

the Kunai, if not assembled and operated correctly, could

possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage

to property.

2. You must assemble the model according to the instructions.

Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an

unsafe or unﬂ yable model. In a few cases the instructions may

differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written

instructions should be considered as correct.

3. You must use an R/C radio system that is in good condition,

a correctly sized motor, and other components as speciﬁ ed

in this instruction manual. All components must be correctly

installed so that the model operates correctly on the ground

and in the air. You must check the operation of the model

and all components before every ﬂ ight.

4. While this kit has been ﬂ ight tested to exceed normal use,

if the plane will be used for extremely high stress ﬂ ying, or if

a motor larger than one in the recommended range is used,

the modeler is responsible for taking steps to reinforce the

high stress points and/or substituting hardware more suitable

for the increased stress.

5. WARNING: The fuselage pod and boom included in this

kit are made of ﬁ berglass or carbon ﬁ ber, the ﬁ bers of which

may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never

blow into a part to remove ﬁ berglass dust, as the dust will

blow back into your eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a

particle mask and rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and

sanding ﬁ berglass parts. Vacuum the parts and the work area

thoroughly after working with ﬁ berglass parts.

We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,

thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the

quality and ﬂ yability of your ﬁ nished model depends on how

you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the

performance of your completed model, and no representa-

tions are expressed or implied as to the performance or

safety of your completed model.

NOTE: Some technically-minded modelers who wish to

check the wing, stab and motor thrust angles may do so by

visiting the web site at www.greatplanes.com and clicking

on "Technical Data."

REMEMBER: Take your time and follow the instructions

to end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED

The chart on page 3 lists the electronic items recommended to

ﬁ nish the Kunai. The Futaba receivers listed are recommended

because the servos plug into the end of the receiver making

it the best ﬁ t (receivers with "top plug" receptacles may not ﬁ t).

Also note that a Y-connector (included) may be used for the

aileron servos, but this will eliminate the optoin of spoilerons.
