IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION
Your Spirit Select is not a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working
model that functions very much like a full-size sailplane. Because
of its realistic performance, the Spirit Select, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or
spectators and damage property.
We recommend you get experienced, knowledgeable help from an
instructor during your first flights. You'll learn faster and avoid
risking your model before you're ready to solo. Your local hobby
shop has information about flying clubs in your area whose
membership includes qualified instructors.
You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics
(AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the
country. Through any one of them, instructor training programs and
insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the
address or toll-free phone number below:

INTRODUCTION
The Spirit Select is a very stable and predictable aircraft, allowing
pilots of differing skill levels to enjoy it.
The Spirit Select is easy to assemble, flies great, and would be a
great selection as your first R/C airplane.
PRECAUTIONS
1. 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 correct.
2. You must make sure the R/C radio system and other
components in the model operate properly on the ground and in
the air.
3. You must test the operation of the model before every flight to
insure that all equipment is operating and you must make certain
that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they show
signs of wear or fatigue.
Note: We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top
quality kit and great instructions, but ultimately the quality of
your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore,
we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your
completed model, and no representations are expressed or
implied as to the performance or safety of your completed
model.
Remember: Take your time and follow directions to end up
with a well-built model that is straight and true. Please inspect
all parts carefully before starting to build!
