ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION INFOS

The model Midi Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter was constructed by Flitework for the advanced beginner, but also for the
connoisseurs among the model pilots. In addition to the shockabsorbing scale landing gear inspires this model by
its elegant Red Bull design and excellent ight characteristics. The model is covered with screen-printed, high quality
lm. The original plane is used by the Flying Bulls for bringing up parachute jumpers.

Attention please!

Remote controlled model planes are not a toy! For assembling, ying and servicing such models, you need a high
grade of technical comprehension and liability.
Careless assembling and operation may cause personal and material damage.
Because the Flitework GmbH has no inuence on assembly, RC installation, operation and servicing of the ight
device, any liability is rejected under explicit advice to these dangers.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Your Pilatus PC6-S should not be considered a toy, but rather
a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like
a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the
Pilatus PC6-S if not assembled and operated correctly, could
possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to
property.

2.You must assemble the model according to the instructions.
Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in a
unsafe or unyable model. In a few cases the instructions may
dier slightly from the photos. In those instances the written
instructions should be considered as correct.

3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong.

4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in rst-class
condition and a correctly sized engine and components (fuel
tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.

5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components so
that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air.

7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, you should
y the model only with the help of a competent, experienced
R/C pilot.

8. While this kit has been ight tested to exceed normal use,
if the plane will be used for extremly hight stress ying, such
as racing, or if an engine larger than one in the recommended
range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to
reinforce the hight stress points and/or substituting hardware
more suitable for the increased stress.

9. WARNING: The cowl and wheel pants included in this kit
are made of berglass, the bers of which may cause eye,
skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never blow into a part to
remove berglass dust, as the dust will blow back into your
eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber
gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding berglas parts.
Vacuum the parts and work area thoroughly after working
with berglass parts.

6. You must check the operation of the model before every
ight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.

Flitework quatily

We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and yability of your
nished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your completed
model and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model.
