INTRODUCTION
The PBY Catalina has had a long and glorious service through
the history of aviation, handling everything from search and
rescue to monitoring our coast line during times of war. With
the reliability and power of today's most advanced brushless
motors and batteries, the ElectriFly PBY Catalina is a reliable
and agile fl ying model of this famous twin engine airplane.
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
ElectriFly PBY Catalina visit the Great Planes web site at
www.greatplanes.com. Open the "Airplanes" link, then select
the PBY Catalina 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.
We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics)
and a local R/C club. The AMA is the governing body of model
aviation and membership is required to fl y at AMA clubs.
Though joining the AMA provides many benefi ts, one of the
primary reasons to join is liability protection. Coverage is not
limited to fl ying at contests or on the club fi eld. It even applies
to fl ying at public demonstrations and air shows. Failure to
comply with the Safety Code (excerpts printed in the back of
the manual) may endanger insurance coverage. Additionally,
training programs and instructors are available at AMA club
sites to help you get started the right way. There are over
2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country. Contact the
AMA at the address or toll-free phone number below.
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.
