NLY use a charger made for Lithium Polymer batteries. Do NT charge at a rate higher than 1C. Example: if the battery s rating is 340mAH, then the charger s charge rate must be set at 340mAH or less. Do NT leave in direct sunlight or in a hot car or storage area. Do NT get wet or expose to moisture. Do NT short-circuit the battery. Do NT leave the battery connected when not in use. Do NT operate or charge unattended. Do NT solder to the battery directly and do not get the battery hot in any way. To avoid over-discharging, only use a speed control that is made for LiP batteries. Inspect the battery before each use for swelling or other malformation. If the cell has ballooned, it MUST be discarded. In use, do not over-discharge or exceed maximum discharge. When handling the battery, remember not to poke, bend or damage the cells. The cell's outer casing is soft and can be damaged. Remember, the cells must never exceed 71º Celcius (160º Fahrenheit) for any reason.

Insulate solder joints with heat-shrink tubing to prevent short circuits and corrosion. Page 5 Epoxy can be cleaned up before it dries using rubbing alcohol, and C/A can be cleaned up before it dries using C/A Debonder. We do not suggest storing your aircraft in an extremely hot environment (like the back of your car in direct sunlight) for any length of time. The extreme heat could cause the covering material to wrinkle or sag and possibly damage the fragile components of the radio control system and/or battery. When cutting away the covering material from the gluing surfaces, be careful to cut only through the covering material. Try not to cut down into the balsa structure because that can compromise the integrity of the airframe. When gluing anything that has a smooth surface, it's important to lightly roughen the gluing surfaces with 220 grit sandpaper. This will allow the glue to stick better. Also, never glue directly to the covering material. Always remove the covering material from the gluing surfaces prior to gluing the parts together. During the covering process, sometimes colour may smear slightly from the seams. If you see any smeared colours on the covering material, they can be quickly removed by simply wiping them off with a paper towel and a small amount of acetone. TIPS FRM THE PRS wait about 5 minutes for the sealing iron to adjust to the lower temperature. You can remove any excess colour streaks using a paper towel soaked with a small quantity of acetone. If the colour layer smears from any of the seams the temperature of the sealing iron is too hot. Turn the temperature dial down and T After the sealing iron has reached temperature, lightly apply the sealing iron to the wrinkled section of the covering material. Move the sealing iron slowly over the wrinkled section until the covering material tightens and the wrinkles disappear. T Plug in and turn on the sealing iron to the medium-high temperature setting. Allow the sealing iron to heat up for approximately 5-7 minutes. The covering material used on your aircraft is real iron-on, heat-shrink covering material. It is possible with heat and humidity changes that the covering material on your aircraft may wrinkle or sag. This trait is inherent in all types of heat-shrink material. To remove any wrinkles that might be visible you will need to use a heat-sealing covering iron.

IMPRTANT Two sets of motor mounting holes are predrilled through the motor mounting box, one set for a four-hole radial backplate mount and one set for mounting directly into the back of the motor. If your motor or its backplate mount uses a different mounting hole pattern, you will need to drill new mounting holes through the motor mounting box to match.
