DISCLAIMER
THIS IS NOT A TOY. This is a high-performance miniature aircraft, capable of high
speeds and damage to life, limb, and property. The manufacturer and its distributors
cannot control how you assemble this model, what equipment you use to fit it out, or
how you fly it, and can assume no liability whatsoever for any damages that may
occur when you fly your aircraft. By assembling this model, you are agreeing to
indemnify and hold blameless the manufacturer and/or his agents from any and all
torts and liability associated with the use of this product.
Please inspect all parts before beginning assembly. If any parts appear to be suspect,
contact your dealer or the manufacturer for repair or replacement BEFORE you begin.
Once you have assembled the aircraft, you are the pilot in command and assume any
and all responsibility for the use of the model and any damages that might occur by
flying or attempting to fly this aircraft. R/C model jets require a high level of skill in
both their assembly and their flying. If you do not feel confident in either your
building or flying skills, PLEASE seek assistance from more experienced modellers.
It is a wise idea, no matter what level of skills you possess, to have a second
experienced modeller go over your installation after assembly. A second set of eyes
may spot a problem you have missed. If you have not flown a model like this before,
it is HIGHLY recommended that you get an experienced turbine pilot to do your
maiden flight. Very often, the first few seconds of a maiden flight are critical until the
aircraft is trimmed out, and having an experienced pilot at the controls can make the
difference between a wrecked aircraft and once that enjoys many hundreds of flights.
Be sure to select a suitable field for flying...take the time to find a large paved runway
if at all possible, especially for test flights, until you feel comfortable getting the
aircraft in and out of smaller grass fields.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Keep this in mind as you proceed:
Look at EVERY assembly step you finish, and ask yourself "Is this going to crash my
airplane?" A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and this is a high performance
aircraft that will be very intolerant of sloppy assembly techniques. Even the smallest
component is important and can cause the loss of your Mirage, so take the time to do
things right, or Redo them if they are wrong. Careful work will result in a long lasting
plane that gives you years of pleasure, one loose component could result in the
complete loss of the aircraft and all the components inside it, and someone can even
get hurt. So pause every once in a while when building it and double-check your
workmanship.
INTRODUCTION
You have chosen a model that represents the pinnacle of ARF technology. While
there is not a lot of building to do, there is enough to keep you busy for a few
evenings. Even if you have assembled maybe other ARF jets, we highly recommend
