design, the two wing panels and the removable horizontal stabilizer makes it easy to carry and store. The good ight behavior and
a large speed range will give a lot of fun to beginners, advanced and expert pilots. The ailerons and rudder eciency allows easy
aerobatic ight. You will enjoy your E-Xcalibur 110 on at elds and also for slope ying.

manual.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow these instructions to ensure the safety of
yourself/others and the model itself.

• 1. Your E-Xcalibur 110 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 E-Xcalibur 110 if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself
or spectators and damage to property.

• 2. You must assemble the E-Xcalibur 110 according to the
instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing
so may result in an unsafe orunyable model. In a few
cases the instructions may dier slightly from the photos.
In those instances the written instructions should be
considered as correct.

• 3. You must use an R/C radio system that is in good
condition. All components must be correctly installed so
that the model operates correctly on the ground and in
the air. You must check the operation of the model and all
components before every ight.

• 4. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not own
this type of model before, we recommend that you get
the assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club
for your rst 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.

• 5. Whilst this model has been ight tested to exceed
normal use, the modeller is responsible for the
reinforcement and/or substitution of hardware as
required if they intend using the model for high-stress
ying, such as racing, or if non-standard motors and/or
batteries in excess of the recommended range are used.
Any modication is done at the modeller’s own risk and
will not be covered by the normal warranty.

TecZone quality

We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately
the quality and yability of your 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.

SAFETY CODE

GENERAL

1) I will not y my model aircraft in sanctioned events,
air shows, or model ying demonstrations until it has
been proven to be airworthy by having been previously,
successfully ight tested.

2) I will not y my model aircraft higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the
airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid ying in the
proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an observer
shall be utilized to supervise ying to avoid having models y
in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.

3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the
ying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately y my
models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.

4) I will not y my model unless it is identied with my name
and address, on or in the model. Note: This does not apply to
models while being own indoors.

5) I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device that
explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).

RADIO CONTROL

1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground
check before the rst ight of a new or repaired model.

2) I will not y my model aircraft in the presence of spectators
until I become a qualied ier, unless assisted by an
experienced helper.

3) At all ying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be
established in front of which all ying takes place with the
other side for spectators. Only personnel involved with
ying the aircraft are allowed at or in front of the ight line.
Intentional ying behind the ight line is prohibited.

4) I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies
currently allowed by the laws of the country where I am.

5) I will not knowingly operate my model within three miles of
any pre-existing ying site.

6) Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch
a powered model in ight; nor should any part of the model
other than the landing gear, intentionally touch the ground,
except while landing.
