INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Great Planes SPIRIT 100
ARF sailplane. Soaring offers a freedom that no other type
of flying can provide! With a little practice and some help
from mother nature, you will be able to defy gravity and
enjoy flights that can last for hours. The advanced wing
design incorporates flaps, spoilers and ailerons to provide
the ultimate in control when using computer radio mixing
functions. Take your time and follow directions to end up
with a well-built model that is straight and true.

PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF
& OTHERS...FOLLOW THESE
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Your Spirit 100 ARF 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 Spirit 100 ARF, 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 unflyable 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 take time to build straight, true and strong.
4. You must correctly install all R/C and other components so
that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air.
5. You must check the operation of the model before every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.
6. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown this
type of model before, we recommend that you get the
assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your
first flights. If you're not a member of a club, your local hobby
shop has information about clubs in your area whose
membership includes experienced pilots.
