IMPORTANT!!!
Two of the most important things you can do to preserve the
radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid fl ying near fullscale aircraft and avoid fl ying near or over groups of people.
PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF
& OTHERS… FOLLOW THESE
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.
