PRECAUTIONS

Your Playmate 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
Playmate, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly
cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

1. Operate the plane according to instructions. DO NOT alter
or modify the model. If you make any modifi cations, you void
your warranty.

2. Test the operation of the model before each fl ight to ensure
that all equipment is operating properly and that the model remains
structurally sound.

3. Fly only indoors or on very calm days (with wind speeds
less than 5mph) and in large open areas free of trees, people,
buildings, or any other obstacles.

4. Although the Playmate is designed to be successfully fl own by the
fi rst time pilot, you may still benefi t from the assistance of an

experienced pilot for your fi rst fl ights. If you’re not a member of an
R/C club, your local hobby shop has information about clubs in your
area whose membership includes experienced pilots. You can also
contact the National Academy of Aeronautics (AMA) which has over
2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Instructor training
programs and insured newcomer training are available through any
of these clubs. Contact the AMA at the following address or toll-free
phone number:

The R/C model hobby becomes more and more enjoyable as your
experience grows. Your chances for success and graduation to
higher levels are very good if you take your time and follow the
fl ying instructions carefully and completely. We hope you enjoy
fl ying your Playmate plane.
