IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Cessna 350 Corvalis. Originally
produced by Columbia aircraft and called the Columbia 350,
the design was recently purchased by Cessna and was
renamed the Cessna 350 Corvalis–after the name of the
town near where it was being manufactured. After opening
the box, you will no doubt be anxious to see the sleek lines
of this modern single-engine aircraft come together on your
work bench. Fortunately, all of the time-consuming work has
already been done for you. Innovative assembly methods
allow this plane to virtually fi nish itself in under an hour.
Once at the fi eld, you will fi nd that the Cessna fl ies smoothly
but with authority from the pre-installed brushless outrunner
motor and LiPo battery.
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections
to the Cessna 350 Corvalis, visit the Flyzone web site at
www.fl yzoneplanes.com. Open the “manuals” link, then
select the Cessna 350 Corvalis.
1. Your Cessna 350 Corvalis 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 Cessna, 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 an unsafe or unfl yable model. In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written instructions should be considered as correct.
3. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not fl own this type of model before, we recommend that you get the assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your fi rst fl ights. If you’re not a member of a club, your local hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose membership includes experienced pilots.
4. While this kit has been fl ight tested to exceed normal use, if the plane will be used for extremely high stress fl 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 high stress points and/or substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress.
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality, thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and fl yability of your fi 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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before you begin assembling your Cessna 350 Corvalis, thoroughly read the instruction manual included with the battery charger. Also familiarize yourself with the following lithium polymer battery cautions. When satisfi ed with your understanding of the battery charge process and safe handling of LiPo batteries, charge your fl ight battery so it will be ready to use when your assembly is complete.
LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING AND USAGE
WARNING!! Read the entire instruction sheet included with your battery charger. Failure to follow all instructions could cause permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings, and cause bodily harm!
• ONLY use a Li-Po approved charger. NEVER use a NiCd/NiMH peak charger!
• NEVER charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.
• ONLY charge through the “charge” lead. NEVER charge through the “discharge” lead.
• NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C.
• ALWAYS set charger’s output volts to match battery volts.
• ALWAYS charge in a fi reproof location.
• NEVER trickle charge.
• NEVER allow the battery temperature to exceed 150° F (65° C).
• NEVER disassemble or modify pack wiring in any way or puncture cells.
• NEVER discharge below 3.0V per cell.
• NEVER place on combustible materials or leave unattended during charge or discharge.
• ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
ASSEMBLE THE MODEL
1. Insert the wing joiner into the wing pocket of one wing
panel. Be sure that the “V” shape of the joiner points toward the underside of the wing.
2. Fit the other wing panel onto the wing joiner.
3. The aileron and fl ap pushrod wires must pass through
the holes in the screw lock connectors when the wing panels are joined together.
