Safety
in
Flying
This
is
NOT
a
toy!
It
is
a
very
high
‐
performance
RC
airplane
capable
of
high
speeds
and
extreme
maneuvers.
It
should
only
be
operated
by
a
competent
pilot
in
a
safe
area
with
proper
supervision.
ONLY
fly
your
aircraft
in
a
safe,
open
area,
away
from
spectators
and
vehicles–and
where
it
is
legal
to
fly.
NEVER
fly
over
an
unsafe
area,
such
as
a
road
or
street.
Never
fly
too
close
to
yourself
or
spectators.
Never
run
your
motor
inside
a
house
or
building
with
the
propeller
attached
–
Remove
the
prop
for
safety.

Covering
Your
airplane
was
packed
in
plastic
at
the
factory
without
any
wrinkles
in
the
covering.
You
may
notice
some
wrinkles
now;
more
likely,
you
will
notice
a
few
in
a
day
or
two
or
the
first
time
you
take
the
plane
out
to
the
flying
field.
These
wrinkles
are
the
result
of
wood
shrinkage
and/or
expansion.
Balsa
wood
changes
size
and
shape
slightly
as
it
is
exposed
to
varying
humidity
in
the
air.
This
is
a
natural
property
of
balsa
wood.
As
your
airplane
adjusts
to
the
weather
in
your
part
of
the
world,
wrinkles
may
appear
and
disappear.
Wrinkles
may
be
removed
with
the
gentle
application
of
heat
to
the
covering
material
on
your
airplane.
The
best
tool
to
use
is
a
hobby
heat
gun.
Apply
the
heat
gently:
the
covering
material
will
shrink
as
you
apply
the
heat,
and
this
will
remove
the
wrinkles.
BE
CAREFUL!
Too
much
heat
applied
too
quickly
can
damage
the
covering,
either
by
causing
it
to
pull
away
from
the
wood
at
seams
and
corners
or
even
by
melting
it.
The
covering
will
shrink
at
low
temperature
with
patient
application
of
heat.
Wrinkles
in
the
covering
DO
NOT
affect
flight
performance.
Remove
the
canopy
before
attempting
to
use
heat
on
your
covering!
The
canopy
is
made
of
thermo
‐
activated
plastic
and
WILL
deform
with
the
application
of
heat.
Do
not
apply
heat
to
the
canopy.
If
you
need
to
clean
your
airplane,
we
recommend
using
a
damp
towel.
The
paint
used
on
the
canopy
and
cowl
is
not
safe
for
all
cleaners.
In
particular,
DO
NOT
use
alcohol
on
these
parts,
it
will
remove
the
paint.
