If you are not already a member of the AMA, please join! The
AMA is the governing body of model aviation and membership
provides liability insurance coverage, protects modelers' rights
and interests and is required to fl y at most R/C sites. The AMA
has two classes of membership available: Open membership
or their Park Pilot Program, which this aircraft qualifi es for.
The Park Pilot Program is for people fl ying electric aircraft and
gliders under two pounds and which fl y slower than 60mph.
This will enable you to enjoy most AMA benefi ts and organize
clubs and fl ying sites in more congested areas.

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.

INTRODUCTION
The indoor 3D fl ying craze started with fl at foamies, which
helped get many modelers started in indoor fl ying. The new
trend is larger, airfoil shaped wings with thick, light fuselages.
The Silhouette 3D ARF continues to push the boundaries of
indoor foam planes. The Silhouette 3D ARF is capable of most
3D maneuvers that a fl at foamy can perform, but presents
itself much better. Once you have fl own the Silhouette 3D
ARF you may never go back to a fl at foamy.
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
Silhouette 3D ARF, visit the Great Planes web site at www.
greatplanes.com. Open the "Airplanes" link, then select the
Silhouette 3D ARF. 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.
PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF
& OTHERS...FOLLOW THESE
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Your Silhouette 3D 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 Silhouette 3D 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 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 take time to build straight, true and strong.
4. 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.
5. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not fl own
this type of model before, we recommend that you get the
assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for
your fi rst fl ights. 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.
6. Carefully read and follow all the instructions included with
your LiPo battery and battery charger. LiPo batteries are
not as forgiving as NiCd or NiMH batteries. Overcharging or
charging the LiPo battery at too high a current will damage
the battery and could damage property.
