Attention!

A parachute is a life-saving tool that should be used only in situations of real danger.
A reserve parachute should never be used "for fun", or just to see how it works. The use
of the reserve parachute is an act in itself dangerous, you lose control of the navigation,
you can not choose where to land. You may encounter rocks, roads, power lines, etc..
Even with a parachute used correctly, your speed ground impact is relatively high and
therefore there is no guarantee that nothing happens. Remember the proverb:

"A reserve parachute is not your second chance , but the last one!"

Prop mounting

Mounting the prop is quick and easy.

Place the rear prop flange on the rear side of the prop.
Insert the six (6) prop bolts through the rear prop flange and
prop.

The correct torque to use is 12 Nm

A more practical “field method” of torquing is to tighten the
bolts snuggly and evenly, but not enough to begin to crush the
wood of the prop.
Mounting the prop, the red arrow indicate the direction of
propeller rotation.

3.0 PREPARING FOR YOUR FLIGHT

Fuel and Oil

FLY PRODUCTS recommends the use of a unleaded automotive gasoline of 92 octane or higher, and
the use of semi-synthetic 2-cycle oil. Mix fresh gas and oil before each flying session.
Store your fuel/oil mixture in an approved, sealed container.

The recommended fuel/oil ratio is 3%. Be sure to thoroughly agitate the mixture to completely dissolve
the oil.
