Tech Notes
 
NOTES FROM OUR TECH DEPARTMENT

   This is an Aerobatic Capable, Funfly-Style, Park Flyer Tutor Airplane Kit.
                designed for beginner to intermediate pilots.
 A good second plane with the conventional style and looks of full-size planes.
                       Park Pilot Program Legal Aircraft

Important note: please check with the local R/C club before operating your radio equipment. Signals from your radio system could interfere with other R/C modelers in the area. You may also contact the AMA (Academy of Model- Aeronautics) for a club nearest you.

Park Flyers are small enough to fly in almost any open space near your home such as football fields, parks, school gymnasiums or even a back yard. These planes are also convenient to transport, fitting easily into a back seat. They are capable of incredible slow-speed flight, giving first-time pilots maximum reaction time and a head start towards success.

FEATURES: Lazer cut balsa construction Semi-Symmetrical airfoil Option to build in ailerons for more maneuverability Complete, detailed plans and instruction manual ease kit construction Quick to build and cover; a one day job for experienced builders, or a weekend project for beginners. Strong enough to withstand less-than-perfect landings, yet so light that all-up weight barely reaches one pound. Landing gear included (hand or ground takeoff)(see COMMENTS) Warranty guarantees this kit free from defects in both material and workmanship at date of purchase.

INCLUDES: All balsa required to build the kit, 1/16" wire main landing gear, all necessary hardware, (2) 1-1/2" foam wheels, Tutor decal, illustrated instruction and rolled plans

NOTE: If modeler already has a 72MHz transmitter and servos, Great Planes offers a Micro Receiver in Low Band (GPML0044) or High Band (GPML0044). Requires Low Band (FUTL62**) or High Band (FUTL63**) crystals. An advantage to these systems is that they automatically adjust to to the brand of transmitter used.

Battery Pack: 6-8 cell, 150-1200mAh Covering: One 6-foot roll (Coverite transparent Micafilm is recommended and requires Balsarite for gluing to wood.) Misc. Items: Building and field equipment

COMMENTS: Only one receiver is required depending on the channel of the radio selected (Low band Ch 11-35, High band Ch 36-60). Please note the Accessory Completion Guide lists both Low and High band receivers. Channel selection is left to the modelers preference.

Weight is critical on small, lightweight electric models such as this Model's performance will be noticeably increased by hand-launching and smooth surface landing. NOTE: servos & battery are internally mounted. Kit is covered in cream colored Micafilm w/Yellow and Orange stripes on the box.
