PRECAUTIONS

Your Micro P-38 Lightning 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 Micro P-38 Lightning, 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 only indoors or outdoors 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 Micro P-38 Lightning is designed to be fairly easy to fly, if you are a 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:

Muncie, IN 47302-9252 Fx. [phone]

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 Micro P-38 Lightning plane.
