“EPOFLEXY” is a very tough and durable material perfect for the manufacture of model aircraft. When
using screwed fixings with “EPOFLEXY” components it is important to tighten the screws sufficiently to
provide a firm fixing.
Excess tightening could result in the foam material becoming compressed, possibly damaging or
distorting the part. Take care to ensure that all screws are tightened sufficiently to provide a firm fixing,
but do-not over tighten. We recommend that all fixings are checked regularly for security and safety
purposes.
Thank-you for purchasing this MAX-THRUST B-17 radio controlled model aircraft. The B-17 offers a
stunning combination of terrific looks and sensational flight performance. Manufactured from
“EPOFLEXY” it is extremely robust, however, in the event of a “less than perfect” arrival, we supply a
range of spares to get you flying again in the shortest time. It is capable of an impressive range of
aerobatic manoeuvres to thrill the experienced pilot, but with reduced control throws it provides a solid
and predictable flight performance, perfect for the sports-scale flyer.
We are certain you will enjoy your new model, please take the time to read this manual thoroughly and
understand its contents completely prior to commencing assembly.
