PRECAUTIONS

Your Uberlite 2-1 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 Uberlite, if not assembled and operated correctly,
could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

1. Operate the plane according to the instructions. DO NOT alter or modify the model. If you make any modifications,

you void your warranty.

2. Test the operation of the model before each flight to ensure that all equipment is operating properly and that the

model remains structurally sound.

3. Fly indoors or outdoors only on very calm days and in large open areas free of trees, people, buildings, or any
other obstacles.

4. Although the Uberlite is designed to be successfully flown by the first time pilot, you may still benefit from the
assistance of an experienced pilot for your first flights. 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 flying instructions carefully and completely.
We hope you enjoy flying your Uberlite plane.

GLOSSARY

● Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Battery: Rechargeable battery which is used to power the airplane. LiPo batteries are

lighter and smaller than most other types of rechargeable batteries.

● Transmitter (TX): This is the hand-held unit that sends the signal to the control unit, or receiver (RX).

● Receiver (RX): This is part of the power module that responds to input from the transmitter.

● Rudder: The flight control on the airplane that controls turning direction. This will yaw the plane so that the nose

points in toward the direction of the turn and will cause the wings to roll into the turn.

● Elevator: The flight control that controls pitch attitude. By adding power and pitching up, you can make the model

climb or loop.

● Center of Gravity (C.G.): Point at which the aircraft must balance in order to fly properly.

● Glide Slope: The proper path for an airplane approaching a landing strip.

● Binding Button (or Trim Reset Button): Binding is a dedicated relationship between a 2.4GHz transmitter and

receiver, in which the receiver responds to input from the transmitter. Once this relationship is established the
units are bound. The binding button may also be used to reset the elevator and rudder to the original position
established when the module is installed on the airframe (not recommended during flight). It is recommended to
use the Binding Button when changing airframes.
