CHECK LIST

During the last few moments of preparation your mind

may be elsewhere anticipating the excitement of the ﬁ rst

ﬂ ight. Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook

certain checks and procedures that should be performed

before the model is ﬂ own. To help avoid this, a check list

is provided to make sure these important areas are not

overlooked. Many are covered in the instruction manual,

so where appropriate, refer to the manual for complete

instructions. Be sure to check the items off as they are

completed (that's why it's called a check list!).

❏

1. Make certain you've set the C.G. and the control

throws according to the measurements provided in

the manual.

❏

2. Conﬁ rm that the elevator and ailerons operate in the

correct direction.

❏

3. Make sure the servo arms are secured with the screws

that came with them.

❏

4. Make sure the receiver antennas are oriented as

speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer.

❏

5. Use threadlocking compound on the screws that lock

the pushrods down to the screw-lock connectors.

❏

6. Examine the elevator and ailerons to make sure the

built-in hinges are intact.

❏

7. Make sure the servo screw holes have been hardened

with thin CA.

❏

8. Place your name, address, AMA number and telephone

number on or inside your model.

❏

9. Range check your radio when you get to the ﬂ ying ﬁ eld.

❏

10. Before each ﬂ ight closely inspect the elevator and

aileron pushrod linkages to make sure they are secure.

1. Advanced ﬂ ying skills are required to ﬂ y the Riﬂ e. It should

not be ﬂ own by beginner or intermediate pilots.

2. The Riﬂ e will ﬂ y at speeds near 100 mph and should be

ﬂ own only at an approved AMA ﬂ ying site.

3. The Riﬂ e can get out of sight quickly. Keep your focus on

the plane at all times.

CAUTION: The Riﬂ e ﬂ ies smoothly and predictably, but it is

small and ﬂ ies EXTREMELY fast, so it is not a plane that should

be ﬂ own by beginners or pilots with little experience. Further,

the Riﬂ e possesses no self-correcting tendencies what-

so-ever—it waits for your inputs before changing directions.

Therefore, the Riﬂ e must be ﬂ own only by experienced

pilots who are able to keenly detect what the model is

doing and decisively provide the correct control inputs.

FLYING

When the Rifle is flying in front of you...

However,

there may be moments during the turnaround when...

this is all you see.

Even experienced pilots must not underestimate the Riﬂ e's

extreme speed. Of course, it's easy to lock onto the Riﬂ e

when it's shooting by right out in front of you, but it takes

only a few seconds to get near the limits of your ﬂ ight

pattern when it will appear extremely small and you will be

seeing it from a different perspective. This is when you can

lose orientation or visual contact altogether, so you must

see clearly and react decisively. For these reasons please

follow these pieces of advice—especially for your very

ﬁ rst ﬂ ights.

1. Do not ﬂ y your Riﬂ e on a cloudy or overcast day. Poor

lighting and a gray background make it even more difﬁ cult

to see. No matter what colors or markings your Riﬂ e has,

it will all disappear when it gets far away and just turns

into a black dot with no orientation cues.

2. Do not ﬂ y when facing the sun. Wait for ideal light

conditions when the sun is at your back.

3. Do not try to ﬂ y your Riﬂ e in conﬁ ned ﬂ ying sites.

While it is always possible (but not advisable) to ﬂ y above

obstructions, the Riﬂ e requires at least two or three times

the approach and landing space of regular sport models.

4. Do not ﬂ y the Riﬂ e if for some reason, any of your senses

may have been compromised (from lack of sleep, hunger,

dehydration, etc.). Your vision, concentration and reaction

time must be optimum.

5. Never take your eyes off the model – even while adjusting

the ﬂ ight trims.

Mount the Wing

When ready to ﬂ y, turn on your transmitter and make sure

the throttle stick is all the way down. Install and connect the

battery, plug the aileron servo wire into the receiver and

mount the wing.

Operate the controls to make sure everything is responding

correctly and smoothly.

it's easy to see!
